lily. and becoming dissatisfied with
conditions, began to throw the furni-
ture' out of the second story window
upon the sidewalk below. The police
were called about 1890 and officers
Fitzgerald and Kirsch responded.
AS soon as Barlow lamped the blue
coats and brass buttons he made a
break for liberty with the police in
close pursuit. The fugitive ran north
on Fourteenth street to Second ave-
nue. where he boarded an east bound
Elm street car, temporarily evading
his pursuers, who trailed along in the
rear and finally succeeded in stopping
the car.
When captured, Barlow defied all
efforts of the police to take him to the
Jail, and fought like a wildcat. After
tussle of several minutes duration,
the handouts were slipped on his
wrists and he was brought bowling
and screaming to the station.

TO SIMPLIFY The
WATER READINGS
Commits sioner Martin Rudgren
Prepares Ordinance for
New Methods.

In order to simplify the work Of his
office, Commissioner Martin Rudgren
has prepared an ordinance which he
will introduce Monday afternoon pro.
viding for changing the readings on
water bills from gallons 10 cubic feet.
The water meters measure in cubic
feet but bills are rendered in gallons
which necessitates considerable
work in multiplication. This viii be
done away with, if the new system is
adopted, and then patrons will be able
TO readily read their own meters.
The ordinance provides for a slight
reduction in rates, the principal item
being the minimum figure reduced
from So to 50. Commissioner Rud-
gren also favors making all charitable
institutions and the schools pay for
the water they use.
