Err DISTRICTS.
COMPLAINTS ARE NUMEROUS
Saloon Case Again Holds Limelight
at Council Session; Macadam I'm

Oak From Main to Jefferson.

Hereafter all parties living within
sewer district will be compelled to
connect with the sewer if an ordin-
ance which the ordinance committee
of the city council, was instructed to
prepare, at the meeting of the coun-
ell last night, is passed. The neces-
sity for such measure was empha-
sized at the meeting by complaints
received from many sources regard
ing unsanitary conditions of certain
premises within the sewer districts.
The ordinance committee was also
instructed to prepare an ordinance
regulating the height of awnings.
Several complaints regarding OBJ
struction of sewers in different parts
of town alleging unsanitary condi-
tions, were referred to the fire and
water committee with power to act.
Saloon Case Bobs UP.
The council INDUCED in considera-
BILE discussion over the celebrated
Fthird saloon cast" which was
started when Fenton wanted infor-
nation as to why the Chitty saloon
was permitted to operate without
license. Attention was called to the
provision of sections IL and l3 of the
model liquor law, which requires that
all liquor dealers must keep their IL
censes on display in their places of
business. It was stated that, in the
Chitty saloon, certified copy of the
council proceedings, showing the ac-
ton of the council in granting the
license, was displayed. No definite
action was taken in the matter
New Macadam is Ordered
A resolution for the improvement
of certain portions of Washington
and Hayter streets by the laying OF
macadam was passed.
Relative to objection to the pro-
posed improvement of Academy
street, between Church and Levens,
J. H. Shepherd and C. M. Westover,
property owners, objected to the fur
ther improvement unless the council
would provide grade sufficiently
low to permit of the hard surfacing
of the street, at some future date,
without the necessity of removing
the macadam base. The same ques-
ton was brought up with reference
to Washington street. 1t was the
general opinion that the matter could
be arranged in this manner and that
the curbing already in place could
be lowered without materially inJur-
ing it, to meet all requirements. On
motion the entire matter was referred
to the street commissioner and the
street committee with power to act.

In Monday Tragedy

L. Tooze, was appointed by the court
to serve as counsel for the prisoner
The prisoner, through his attorney,
pleaded not guilty and was bound
over without bonds to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury.
The weapon used by Davis in his
murderous assault was Colts au-
tomato of 80 calibre. The chamber
holds eight loads and the barrel one,
and as there were still four unexplod-
ed cartridges in the magazine, Davis
must have fred five shots, three of
which took effect in Agee's body and
one which brought death to Mrs.
Stewart.
Had Planned the Crime.
There is abundant evidence that
Davis went to the Stewart home in
tent upon mischief. When first seen
outside the house he is said to have
carried the gun in his hand, and all
the time he was engaged in CONVEX
sation with the two women in the
kitchen he displayed the weapon. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Davis, who told the
entire story of the shooting to the
Observer representative, her husband
declared that he had come there to
"kill" and they were endeavoring to
induce him to put up his weapon and
go away peaceably when Agee and
Stewart entered the room. Mrs. Da-
Wis further stated that she did not
know her husband was in the neigh
borhood and the first time she saw
him was when he suddenly appeared
at the house Monday morning.
Had Threatened to Kill.
