Four South A Street Residents
Protest Over an Ir?-

NO BENEFIT is RECEIVED

Today was the final day Of hearing

foar OF the residents of that thorough
fare took the opportunity to register a
Lick with the board. They were as
follows: Henry Often. Mrs. Kielhorn,
Edward Morrow and William Bartel
ST.. According to their complaints
they have not been benefited in the
least by the Improvement. They de-
clare that the sidewalk which was OF
brick, before the city ordered change
to cement. was in good condition and
they feel that inasmuch as they did not
desire the improvement made they
are being unjustly assessed. The case
may be carried to court before a salts
factory agreement can be reached At
the time that the work was in progress
it was alleged by many of the residents
that the job was not being properly
done, and the contractors. Boots &
Giants. were the recipients of numerous
complaints. The Improvement was
for $4,000. New cement sidewalks,
curbs and cutters were laid from Sec
ond to Twenty first street.

TOMMY HUEsroN, POOL CHAMPION OF THE
lenge, while open to the world. is es-
pecially pointed to De Orc, holder Of
the worlds title at the cushion.
Hueston is unquestionably one Of
the best cue artists the game has ever
produced. He has defeated such men
as De Orc, keogh, Clearwater, Sher-
man, Weston and all the cracks who
have held the pool championship. He
also bears the distinction Of having
held both the pool and three cushion
billiard championships at the same
time. He lost both titles within two
months, but recently won the pool
title back from Johnny king.
Hueston is a spectacular player and
makes the long, hard shots which al
ways please the gallery. He had de-
feated Killing twice before the latter
held the pool honors. The first time
they met was about eight years ago,
and Hueston was just breaking into
the spot light. He won this match.
About year and a half ago, while he
had the title, Killing challenged, and
Tommy successfully defended.
