AWAKENED WITH CLUB

Just what an unknown man had
against Jack Donovan, a transient,
is unknown to Donovan. But he
does know this, that while he
peacefully slept behind a pile of
wood in a woodward on Front ave-

thumped him over the head with
club and awoke him. He thought
at first the woodpile had fallen
upon him, but this idea was soon
banished when he saw a man run

reported to the police and had a
cash on top of his head treated
in the emergency hospital.

WILL SUbLET
BIG CONTRACT

The Warehouse Realty Co., re-
Gently awarded the contract for
making the Sprague avenue fill and
building the 100 foot trestle in the
center, will not do the work. G.
B. Dennis. who represents the COM
pany in the contract, says the work
will be sublet as a whole If posi-
BILE, and II not 1t will be given out
in separate contracts. 1t includes
making the fill, which in places Is
Npver 80 feet high, the erection of
Steel trestle in the center and the
laying of paving and sidewalks on
top of the fill. The cost to the city
will be $4,000.
In getting the contract, the Den
mis- company also secured a con-
venient dumping place for thous-
ands of cubic yards of rock and
earth that cover real estate owned
by 1t in that section of Sprague
avenue.
The big fill will have concrete
sides and strong steel guard rails
on top, 1t is thought the accident
this week in which ID. o. Collins
was killed by his automobile going
over the side of the present trestle
would not have occurred had the
new fill and trestle been completed.
The contractors have a year in
which to complete the new i'm
