Meeting; Councilman Fenton Or
dered to Comply With Ordinance.

Matter of the employment of city
engineer to have charge of projected
street improvements, was one of the
more principal items of business dis
cussed at the regular council meeting
Monday night This matter had been
left with the finance committee but
the committee reported asking that
the entire council interest itself, and
the question will probably be decid-
ed at the next meeting
The council decided to accept the
proposals of property owners on
South Church street to deed proper
ty for street purposes.
City Marshal was instructed to no.
tify people to refrain from dumping
sawdust on the more important
streets, and to have property owners
trim their trees on streets so as not
to interfere with pedestrians.
The council also made an order to
require Councilman Fenton to com
ply with the building ordinance in
the repair Of his building on Court
street.
Several bills were allowed

such arrangements the rapid advance

'Odom had been cautioned regarding
him. Mrs. Odom had endeavored to
pursuade her husband against driv-
ing the animal it is reported. He
laughed at her fears but, neverthe-
less, promised to use care with the
team. 1t is supposed that this is the
reason he did not leave the barn
with the team, but believing that he
could assist Trent in holding them,
he changed his mind and went to his
death. The wagon was wrecked and
portions of it were strewn along the
street for some distance. After
breaking loose the team sped south
on Church street and were finally
captured. A big crowd at the S. P.
station where the afternoon train for
Portland was upon the point of de-
parture, saw the accident, and it is
declared that the bodies Of the men
We're thrown into the air to a height
of fully 80 feet. Odom struck on his
head while Trent's shoulder received
the brunt of impact and to this fact
he undoubtedly owes his life.
Funeral Tomorrow.
Funeral services over the remains
will be conducted at the home to-
morrow afternoon at 8 o'clock by
Rev. John Vine, under the auspices

deceased was an honored member.

icy of $1,000 in that order.
