was unanimously adopted:
I'VE, the City Council of Dawson,
in regular session, hereby agree to
make a proposition to Hon. John R.
Mercer, if he declines then to Mr..
Carnegie, as follows: That in the
event suitable building for library
purposes is offered and erected to
the value of $4,000 the City of
Dawson agrees to furnish and appro-
pirate lot for said building, and fur
Their agrees to donate $1,000 for ten
years for the sustenance of said
building"
The city clerk was istructed to fur
nish Mr.. Mercer with a copy of this
resolution.
The News understands that anoth-
er public-spirited Dawsonian has
stated that he will give a desirable
site for a library building if money is
secured with which to erect it.
1t is the purpose of the ladies who
are pushing the movement to not on
ly have a first-class library in Daw-
son, but to have in connection with
it natatorium and a gymnasium for
the boys and girls.
And when the ladies of Dawson
start out to do a thing it is going to
be done.
The News already considers a
handsome library building in Dawson,
with the accessories mentioned, a
certainty.

VETERANS BIFF SENATORS
TERRELL COUNTY CAMP PASSES
RESOLUTIONS OF CRITICISM.
Urges That APPROPRIATION for PEN

Passed at Next Session.

The confederate soldiers of Ter

Williams, commander; A. ]. Lee,
vice-cNnmander; VIM. Kaigler, sec
rotary and treasurer; M. G. Statham,
adjutant; w. C. Kendrick, surgeon;
Elder w. T. Everette, chaplain.
The following resolutions in regard
to the failure of the state senate to
pass the bill making an appropria-
ton to pay service pensions was in
troduced and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the state senate at
its session refused and failed to pass
the bill passed by house of represent
atives to put into effect the amend
ment voted on by the people to pen
sion all old soldiers and widows of
soldiers not paying taxes on 81, 500
worth of property, therefore, be it
Resolved, that we the confeder-
ate veterans of Terrell county, this
day assembled at Dawson, take this
opportunity of condemning the ac-
ton of the appropriation committee
of the senate in refusing to report
back of that body for a third read
ing, to be put upon its passages, the
Foster pension bill, which was rati-
fed by the people at the last general
election by larger majority than
any amendment ever before submit
ted to the people. The senators
should remember that they are the
servants of the people mot masters)
and should carry out their instruc-
tions regardless of their private opin
Ions. We urge upon the senator
from this district, the Hon. ]. R. r.
win, to use his best efforts to have
said bill passed by the senate at the
meeting of the Legislature in June,
1910"

CITY COURT NEXT MONDAY.
Every Case on the Docket Will be
Called

The quarterly term of the City
Court will convene next Monday
morning, and at the usual hour the
wheels of the mill of justice will be-
gin to turn and grist to drop into the
hopper.
Judge Edwards has requested the
News to state for the benefit OF the
litigants, defendants and others who
may be interested that every case
will be called for trial during the
term. AS there are a large number
of cases on both the civil and criminal
dockets it is likely, therefore, that
the court will be in session several
days-perhaps all of the week.

DOUGLAS NEWS NOTES
FROM DOUGLAS iNTERNATIoMAL

Members of the late lamented Grid iron club were hurriedly notified to day that one of their honorary mem bers, the Hon. Jack Williams of Tombstone, district attorney, was in trouble and to hold themselves in readiness to come to his support with financial assistance if it became nee. essary-and for a time things looked squally for the gridironer from the City of Nod. This time it was he who was being grilled and grilled to a nice roast brown.
 The trouble was that he had run afoul of Justice Ben Rice and for once the justice had the whip hand over the district attorney. The Hon. orable Jack had been consorting the evening before with members of the defunct organization heretofore known as the Gridiron club and was late in retiring. So he slept long and sound. ly this morning-slept the sleep oi the just. the innocent and the pure at heart: slept the sleep of a man who in his brief career as district at. torney has been both praised and damned: slept the sleep Of a mar who the day and night before had done his duty as he had seen it; slept the sleep of a man who intend ed to awake upon another day of du' ty-doing. But, alas. he slept the sleep of a man who was too sleepy and never thought of the possible conse' quences.
 The night before Justice Rice dis missed his court with the injunction that all be on hand at o'clock this morning. And at o'clock sharp the court called the case of the territory against the four shoplifters. All who should have been present were pres. ent-except the district attorney. Jus. tice Rice said nothing but he was re volving in his minds eye just what he would say later on.
 At 10 o'clock entered the Honorable Jack. heavy-lidded and shaggy-browed and the customary salutation was given.
 "Mr. Williams" the court said with a new note in his voice, q told you to be here at o'clock this morn. ing. It Is now 10 o'clock. I adjudge you. sir, in contempt of court and fine you S5. And you will stand com mitted until the fine is paid" Vii Hams merely nodded acquiescence.
 Everybody in the court room thought the justice. was joking. ex cept Williams and the judge. The dis trict attorney was not. committed. but before he left here this afternoon he paid the fine and the money goes to the county.

REAL LIFE DRAMA
 N NORTH CAROLINA

ASHEyIEI.E, N. C.. May l.- Mae. Olive Fremsted was the heroine in real-life drama this morning, the hero being an unidentified fireman whose retiring nature inclines him to withhold his name and address Put he rescued Mime. Fremstad, for sAe says so herself. It wasn't much of fire, but it caused an early morn ing and informal party to be enjoyed in the palmroom of the Battery Park hotel. It was thoroughly an undress affair, more so in some respects than in others. Night garments prevailed as wearing apparel, although some Of the guests carried more substantial fgaro in their hands ready to don it when an opportunity afforded. Lights All Out.
 During the excitement following the discovery of the fire, the electric lights went out, adding to the confus- ion. Trunks were thrown out of the windows, and some of the guests car ried their clothes down the stairs in armfuls. The fire was soon ext'n- guished.
  Wyck, wife of former Judge Augustus H. Van Wyck, and Mrs. James Os- borne, wife of a prominent New York lawyer.
 The blaze originated in the hotel laundry, and extended to the engine room. The loss will amount to about $500. The flames were extinguished by the hotel people themselves.
 Saw the Sun Rise.
 Some time between the first cry of fire and the gathering of all in the palm room the saving of Mime. Frem- stad took place. The exact moment of the thrilling rescue is not known. Standing shivering in scant clothing and with candles lighted, casting a weird reflection upon the groups, the frightened guests were finally assur- ed by the hotel people that the con flagration in the wash room had been conquered. Then a good laugh sue ceeded the previous terror, and all dressed and went to see the sun rise.

KIDNAPPER CALLS
 FOR SQUARE DEAL

MERGER, Pa, May 1-"het me tell you that the Dyers of St. Louis did not identify me as their Clara, as the newspapers say. Or, if they did, they are acting silly, for never saw those people before in my life" This remark was made by Mrs. Helen Boyle, the alleged woman kid naper of Willie Whitla, in the Mercer jail when asked for an explanation Of her being accused of the St. Louis robbery. Nor do I think those peo- pie ever claimed to have recognized me. They seemed sensible people," said the mysterious woman ifi conclu- sion.
 James Boyle ran amuck in the jail and cursed his wife and his attorneys for not giving him a Square deal" In some way Boyle has obtained money and he offered a visitor $500 with which to hire another attorney for him. Boyle finally became so ob- streperous that he was locked up in burglar-proof cell, not only to keep him quiet but to keep him safe.
 Boyle asserts in a tone that is more than tinged with passion that he "is not getting a square deal" and that he ''is being made a scapegoat' He says the attorney he expected to de- fend him is paying too much atten- tion to the case of Mrs. Boyle, d--n her.
 Ready for the trial?" shouted Boyle fiercely.
 T have no attorney. I am not get. ting justice. I am not getting a square deal. Why, a 'nigger' would get better show than I am getting. It is not fair It is not justice, and will not stand for 1t.
 Why, I engaged an attornSy here and he has paid me but two visits of two minutes each time since I was placed in this prison. No testimony has been prepared. No witnesses have been called and no defense has ever been asked
 Why, I have got a better defense than anyone knows and have 1t writ ten out in my cell on about twenty pages, with about twenty witnesses, but it seems have not got an at torney.
 Mrs. Broyle and I retained an at torney when pre came here, but he is paying too much attention to the case of Mrs. Broyle, d-n her, and none to me-
