CONFIRM GRANTING
OF FRANCHISE

The county commissioners yes
terday morning confirmed the grant
ing of a franchise supposed to have
been rendered the Tonopah United
Water company in March, 1905.
An array of legal talent headed by
Attorney Hugh H. Brown impressed
upon the commissioners minds that
it was positively necessary to have
the franchise in order to raise the
necessary funds in the east, and If
the franchise was in the hands OF
the proper water official it would
mean great things for this city, by
the installation of proper mains, etc.
The commissioners after hearing the
remarks Immediately drafted a res
olution, thereby granting the water
company a confirmation of the sup
posed lost franchise.
At the afternoon sitting the board
passed upon a large number OF
county bills, most of which were al
lowed.

promised from the stump that if

AFRAID OF BANKS;
ROBBED OF SAVINGS
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Having no
faith in banks, Peter Massion of
3151 Orchard street, carried his
savings snugly tucked in an inside
pocket of his vest He had been
laying aside SO week out of his
wages as a street car employe and
in five years succeeded in getting
together about $500.
At 4 O'Clock Sunday morning, as
Masion was on his way home from
work, he was stopped by three rob-
bers at Garfield and Orchard streets.
One of the men held revolver to
the victims head, while the other
two tore open his coat and relieved
him of the fat wallet. It contained
exactly $797.
Massion had SO in another pock-
ct, but the robbers made no at
tempt to search him further after
getting the large amount. He went
to the Halstead street police station
and reported his loss, but no arrests
have been made.

succeeds. AS president of the San
Francisco building trades council
for the past 13 years, Mccarthy has
been a prominent and influential
figure in municipal politics. He was
fought bitterly by the regular re-
publicans and democrats, and was
charged with accepting the tender
loin support. Opposition to him
rallied around his own statement
from the stump that if elected he
would make San Francisco "the
Paris of America. This declara-
tion was seized upon by his oppon-
ents as meaning that he would
stand for a return to a wide open
town" But this Mccarthy denied
He aserts that he stands for city
government "along liberal lines. !"

tackled Heney, stigmatizing him as
a political fake" Mccarthy was
born in Ireland 46 years ago, and
came to this country in 1880, six
years later removing to San Fran
cisco, where he has since resided.

DENVER, Nov. 2.-It became
known today that the Denver po-

robbery which occurred several days
ago, when mining stocks and other
valuable securities to the value of
$4,000 were stolen from the home

The theft was committed by two

Jagels will not discuss the rob
