ltInS 10 SOIVe.
Work on the new curbing, which
City Engineer Miller declared would
never receive his approval, brought
on a lively discussion at the meeting
of the city council Monday night The
dlSSentIon arose over the question of
hiring an inspector to look after the
work. 1t was finally decided to en-
gage Marshall Hendricks of Spokane
as curbing inspector for one week at
salary of $4 per day.
A request for additional police pro-
lection for the next two months also
stirred up contention. The subject
was dropped with no action taken

pair and renewal Of sidewalks passed

1t Was a HOId-Up Alright.

Crowds of people rushed up the
street Monday noon when the report
was circulated that Carley's foundry
was being held-up. Investigation
proved the hold-up to be of a differ
ent character than the crowd antici-
pated. Three small boys, well known
around town, had broken up the iron
cap to a sewer manhole and had
taken the old iron to the foundry.
Mr. Carley suspicioned something
was wrong and notified the police.
The boys paid s5 for the cap which
they had found in the rubbish where

DEATH BELLS WORRY WEEMS
and HE RACES IN HIS CELL
MURDERER THINKS LITTLE OF
CRIME But HAS HORROR OF
FUTURE.

Raging in his cell Carl Weems,
the self confessed slayer of Leroy
Cantrill, keeps other prisoners awake
and makes life miserable for every
one in sound Of his voice The pen
atty which he is likely to suffer
seems to weigh heavier on his mind
than the crime which he committed.
Monday night his cries kept the 9TH
er prisoners awake, but since then he
has confined his demonstrations of
insanity TO the daylight hours. He
PAGES up and down the small cage
beating his hands and shouting that
he is Christ and no one can hurt him.
The burden of his wall is very much
the same each day though he
changes the words occasionally. AT
times he demands to be released
The sound of death bells seems to
be in his ears and at one time he
was heard to say, IF you were go
ing TO eternity, death bells would
not be very sweet to you"
Weems has talked very calmly of
his crime and has never showed the
least sign of regret or remOrse The
future seems to worry him more
than the past.
The prisoner has entered a plea of
mot guilty and the case has been
continued until September for set
ting.

High Places.

$50 and costs Theodore Ricketer,
convicted of bOotlegging in St. John,
took his life into his hands and es-
capped from the chain gang Tuesdady
morning. Guard Ritz had Is men
in the gang at work on the grade
north of town and could not leave to
pursue Rickter. The prisoner had
served only a few days of his SEN
tence.
In the afternoon P. F. Bohan and
Bert Parlin followed suit and made
their getaway around the brewery
and up towards the Hubbard school
house. Deputy Eastep trailed them
all the afternoon but did not sue

was sentenced August to 80 days
for stealing a suitcase from the New
Castle saloon. Barlin was given 80

The gang proved to be too large
to be handled by one man and w. r.
Baker was put on as an extra guard.
