FABULOUS FOUNDER GETS IN WRONG
 DOMIC|LE
WAKES UP IN JAIL WITH HAZY RECOLLECTION OF NIGHT
 WITH EACCHUS

Carrying jag of large dimensions, John Nissen rDistook the residence of Rev. Harders for his own home, early yesterday morning, and not only en; tered the wrong house, but esconced himself in comfortable bed with a son of Mir. Harders and slept serenely, until he awoke from his stupor in a cell, later in the day.
 Nissen might have come to life under more favorable circumstances, mad he lSot awakened Mir. Harders son.
 The young man resented the intru- sion, and, hastily dressing himself, he hurried down town and summoned the night officers.
 Nissen made no effort to escape. In fact he was so utterly dead to the world as the result of his jag that he declined to be awakened and was still in a stupor when locked up. Eissen was very meek and repentant when he appeared in court yesterday afternoon.
 ''This is all news to me, he said to Judge Hinson Thomas after he had heard the testimony against him. "I have 6 vague recollection of going to- wards my home on Pascoe hill and of going to bed, but as far as being in some one else's house, don't know anything about that. All that 1 know is that when l awoke 1 was in jail.
 "Don't you know that you might have been shot for entering another man s house at clock in the morn ing?" asked the judge.
 John admitted that he had been talk ing long chances.
 Your lapse of memory will cost you $l0," said the court "ln the future be little more moderate with the booze"
 Nissen promised to be careful in the future, paid his fine and hurried away. It is presumed that he found the right honse.

 De Gulio was locked up in jail, with a charge of attempted fraud standing against him. He will be examined in Judge Hiuson Thomas court today.
 According to James Bracco, one of the proprietors of the place, de Gulio entered the Fashion saloon shortly af- ter noon and offered to pay bill of about $25, which had been due for some time, offering the worthless bill in pay ment
 As there was not enough money in the register to give de Gulio his change, over $75, Bracco sent his brother to the bank for change. There it was dis covered that the bill was worthless.
 De Gulio was standing at the bar when Bracco was informed by his brother that the bill was, worthless Grabbing the bill he attempted to secure possession of it. Failing in this at tempt, be drew knife, but was disarm ed before he could do any damage.
 When searched by the officers, an other knife was found on de Gulio s person.
 De Gulio was hysterical when taken to jail and made threats to kill him self. He stated that he drew his knife with the intention of committing sui eide, rather than to hurt any of the men in the saloon.

COUNC|LAUTH0R|zES IMPROVEMENTS IN
 WATERW0RKS
FIREHoUSE AND OFFICES TO BE BUILT AND SETTLING TANK
 ENLARGED
HUBBARD TO BE BOoKKEEPER
NEW DEPARTMENT TO FURNISH ITSELF MANY CONVENIENT
 LITTLE LUXURIES

At last night session of the city council, the public utility committee, in charge of the water department, was authorized to go ahead with the i'm provements which have been outlined, including the erection of building to accommodate the water and fire de- pa<tments and the enlarging of the settling tank at the pumping plant on Pipa1 creek.
 While plans for the new fire house and water office have not been drawn up as yet, they will be in the main as has already been outlined by the city engineer will have plans completed for the new building within the next few days.
 Tho size of the settling tank will be enlarged to a greater extent than was at first contemplated, by increasing the height of the walls. This work can be done at comparatively small outlay, increasing the capacity of the tank from 50,0OO to about 100000 gallons. | With this amount of water on hand, a good supply in the main reservoir at all times is practically assured.
 The committee, in its report, suggest cd that the work of enlarging the ea- pacity of the wells, which was com menced by the old company, be contin- ued, in order to assure good supply of water during the dry season. The purchase of new distillate tank fer the pumping plant, horse and buggy for the use of the department and the erection of stable were recom- mended in the report.
 The committee has confirmed the ap- pointment of l.. II. Hubbard, as book keeper in the department.
 The council authorized the purchase of Burroughs adding machine for the use of the water department and the city clerks office. The machine will cost $400.
