St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1912-03-08
Council Proceedings

Tuesday evening, with Mayor
Couch presiding as usual.
Knowles * Kanouse asked for
extension OF 90 days time on
the Improvement OF South Gresham
street, claiming inclement weather
precluded earlier completion Of
their contract. As the consent of
the bondsmen was lacking. the pc.
ti,ion was referred back TO the cou.
tractors to supply the deficiency.
A communication from the la
dies auxiliary OF the Commercial
club asked that the rubbish lying
on Crawford street near the city
dock be removed, aud further
dumping of debris thereon be strict
~ prohibited. The dads were
much pleased TO see the ladies take
an interes. in civic improvement,
and the matter was referred to the
buildings aud grounds committee
To have the suggestions of the ladies
carried out.
The committee on the Sweet Pea
fete of the Commercial club request.
ed the use of the city dock for hold
ing the celebration in July, and also
that the same be properly wired tor

promptly moved that the request
be granted, which carried unani-
mously. Matter was referred TO
the buildings and grounds commit
tee TO look after the wiring.
5. &, Cook asked that corner
stone or monument removed at the
corner of Charleston aud Fessenden
streets during improvement be per-
petuated. On motion of Alderman
Horsman this was ordered done.
A committee from the CONNER
cial club asked that the ordinance
relative to buildings in the fire linn
its he enforced, aud a petition from
a number OF citizens made the same
plea. Alderman Perrine stated
that this council had been placed in
a rather difficult position; that the
ordinance had been disregarded
several times by previous councils,
and with this precedence established
il made il hard To turn other citi-
zens down. However, since the
citizens objected, he favored either
living up to the ordinance or repeal
ing il, finally making a motion to
repeal the ordinance, which none
would second Mayor Couch said
there were several ways OF looking
at the matter; that property own
ers in the fire district were paying
heavy taxes from which no income
could be derived, that enough rent
could not be secured to justify

preston from the people had been
secured, however, he stated that
he would not favor granting anoth.

lying between the French block on
Dawson aud Buchanan street, also
to sign a petition for the hard sur.
facing of Dawson street. As there
was some question as to just how
much land in the tract she desired to
sell for park purposes contained,
the engineer was directed TO figure
out the same. and il was decided TO
take the matter up at an adjourned
;ieeting held Thursday evening.
In order that the park question may
be placed OH the ballot at the April
election, action must be taken this
week.

CHICAGO TRAGEDY INVOLVES
DENVER PEOPLE,.

The reports which have come to the
city from Chicago indicate demoniacal
fury on the part of A r. Wilson, who
killed his wife and committed suicide
in Chicago last week. Mrs. Wilson
was cut to death, her head being al
most severed from the body. 1t ap-
pears that the trouble between the
couple arises from property differ
ences since their marriage. Mrs.
Wilson, who was Mrs. Jacobs, was
possessed of property on Lafayette
street. Mr.. Wilson had the place on
Glenarm between 23rd and gath
streets. After marriage, with Mrs.
Wilson's help, the latter place was
improved with a modern twostory
home. Later, when differences arose
in the family. a financial adjustment
was made with the help of the courts,
though the further proceedings look
ing to divorce were never carried out.
Mr. Wilson appears not to have been
satisfied with the adjustment and
brooded until suddenly he left the
city. He went TO Chicago and became
employed as I caretaker in an apart
ment house. Up to this time The Star
has not been able to get the facts.
but is credibly informed that he wrote
back TO Denver threatening his wife,
and further threatened her two
daughters. Then mother love showed
tits sublimest sacrifice. Rather than
have her daughters molested, she
went to Chicago and the tragedy en-
sued The manner of the killing as
we'll as the actions leading up 10 1t
make it seem likely that Mr.. Wilson
was unbalanced and has been for
some time. At all events, 1t Is a ter
rible tragedy, involving two of Den
ver's we'll esteemed citizens, and a
violent elimination of what was
hoped TO be a happy married life.

DENVER Y. Nj. A. c. DEFEATS
COLO. SPGS. Y. M. A. C. 10 TO

To give credit where credit is due,
is only fair to the visitors, although
defeated, they battled doggedly to the
last. Not since the game with Kan
sas City have the home boys been
forced to extend themselves to the
limit as they did this day. Both teams
relied mostly on straight football, the
Denver boys eNcelling in every stage.
There were no particular stars, yet
the old reliable Scotty was effective
as ever in line plunging and respond
ed in the first period with touch
down Robinson kicking goal from
a difficult angle, Will Davis going in
the last half covered himself with
glory by making two touchdowns,
Robinson missing both goals. Little
Dan Strothers proved a stumbling
block TO the visitors, intercepting
many forward passes and being just
where he wasn't wanted. Robinson
handled his team excellently, also
making good runs for big gains;
around him the team always centers
its hopes The playing of Allen, Dun
can. Linzy, Valley and the Catlett
brothers was very noticeable.
AS to the visitors they played an
excellent defensive game, but were
helpless with the ball, constantly
fumbling and poor judgment in run
ming lost them many chances. They
seemed to rely mostly on Holmes OF
colorado College fame, and Smith,
| both being unable to come through.
for the simple reason that Denver had
too much team. Holmes was in the
game every minute, but it takes
eleven men to beat eleven others.
Coach H. Robinson of the Springs is
not discouraged, there being some
/ talk of a return game in Colo. Spgs.
The final score being 19 to 0 gives
the Denver team full title to the cham
pionship of the middle west. The
attendance was small but enthusi-
astic. The several automobile par
| ties were very conspicuous.
1t must be remembered that in the
last two years Denver has not been
scored against, the victories to date
being: Denver 8, Kansas City 8; Den
! yer 81, Pueblo 0: Denver -, Ninth
Cav 0: Denver 19. Colo. Springs 0.
Mollie Smith of Cheyenne was Ref
cree, Eddie Plummer umpire, 7. V
| Ward head linesman. In order that
the games may be on a paying basis
the public should turn out and en-
courage the boys. They always give
you your moneys worth.

OLD SETTLER PASSES AWAY.

After having lived in this city for
forty years, Dan Anderson passed
away and was buried on Saturday.
He has been in bad health for
months, the disease of old age having
seized upon him. He fingered and
suffered. He leaves several children
and an aged wife. Many years ago he
was prominent in the fraternities of
the city. More recently he came into
public notice because of n suit he In
stituted to recover an endowment
benefit which he claimed was due
him as The next OF kin. because OF the
death OF his sister, Mrs. Rebecca
Mosby.

NEGRO
COLONY

Anderson. VINO is quite experienced as
manager and who has good team,
is making a fine record for himself
and the laborers of the colony.
There is yet open about 1000 acres
of government land and 1000 acres of
state land. The settlement is now an
assured success, and any number of
good, thrifty farmers can be taken
care Of We need a blacksmith, a
shoe cobbler and saddler. This state
ment of facts will probably be the last
call, and all worthy ones should get
busy before it is too late to secure a
homestead in such a fine locality, and
so near the Denver market.
