Kid Lyon became a member of
the local aerie of Eagles Tuesday
evening and from all accounts he got
all that was coming to him and then
some. His initiation had been look
ed forward 10 for some time and
when the night came everything was
in readiness.
Not only was he made member
of the order Tuesday night. but the
lodge had the pleasure of presenting
him with a beautiful medal for sew
eral heroic life saving acts he per-
formed at the fire on Sunday morn
ing. Bert Cunningham presented the
medal and in so doing told how he
had Witnessed the brave deeds. and
as member of the fire department
he thought 1t was the duty of the
lodge to see that the kid" was
given something to remember the oc-
casion wherein he risked his life for
humanity's sake.
After the presentation speech. the
medal was presented amid much en-
thusiasm. The medal Is very appro-
pirate, as 1t was taken from the hide
of one of the finest steers ever
slaughtered by Frank Nevin.

COunCiISeSSiOn
Hears Fire
Reports

The city council met last evening,
a full board being present. Chief
Reeves OF the fire department read a
statement concerning its condition
and containing many suggestions for
betterment. The communication
also dealt with Sunday mornings fire
and spoke highly of the efficiency of
members of the department The
chief recommended that reservoir
be built so that in case of big fire
there will be enough water stored to
enable control. He also suggested
that 200 feet of hose be purchased.
The loss caused by Sunday morn
ing's fire was estimated by the chief
at 900. During the fire, Mr..
Hartman lost two teeth. The chief
recommended that the city pay for
the necessary dental work which will
have to be performed.
The matter of grading Clark street
was considered. Contractor HARDWOOD
at former meeting was given until
April / to finish his contract. The
clerk informed the board he had
written to Harwood concerning the
matter. 1t was finally decided that
should Harwood fail to commence
work before the next meeting, action
would be taken against him.
The matter of selling space on the
city sprinkling cart for advertising
purposes was discussed. No action.
1t was suggested that notices be
published to the effect that the
streets be kept clean. The city at

cost to publish the notices in the Of
fetal paper.
