WRIGHT KICKS

Contractor George Wright this
morning sent letter to the COM
mission announcing he would not
agree to the resolution resembling
the classification made in August
for hardpan and loose rock on the
Green river contract.
When the contract for this job
was signed up it provided that no
credit for loose rock should be
given unless it ran 25 per cent.
In August the commission found
that the contractor was up against
it and while the loose rock did not
quite run 25 per cent it was
enough to make the job a losing
venture. resolution was adopt
ed to give credit for such loose
rock as there was.
Later Wright put in a steam
shovel and it handled the forma-
tion without trouble and the coun-
Gil rescinded the August resolu-
ton.
To this Wright kicks.

him a check for S64.50 in payment of a
bin for automobile hire and that the
check was returned by the Continental

Mr. and Mrs. Henderson were ar
rigned before Municipal Judge Hopkins
later, but the case was continued until
February without the hearing Of testi.
mony.

Henderson declared that she inherited a
fortune of 100000 at the death Of
her father, the late G. T. Wilson, presi-
dent Of the Interurban Traction com
pany Of New York, about year ago
and that her trouble in Chicago was all
due to an error on the part of the Off.
eials Of that company.
"This is disgraceful,' Mrs. Hender-
son said. This is all the result Of a
mistake on the part of the officials of
the traction company in the East. They
sent me a book OF blank checks on the
Continental hank and then evidently
failed to send the bank funds. II is

the check on a Saturday afternoon and
