When tive men came to the assistance

wounds were found in the boys throat
and body and his right ear was TORI

should be prosecuted for murder.
Keeping such dog is fully as bad as

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening with all members
present.
Scherer introduced resolution ask
ng the Board of Education to publish

hat body hesitates to do so only be-
cause of the expense involved. 1t was
referred and viii probably die in COM

the sanitary committee. Georgenson
surmised that his committee got it be-
cause it involved internal baths. 1t
carried later with c. Schroeder voting
mo" without giving his reasons.
The Franklin street sewer took more
time than anything else. The commit
tee on Public Works reported that the
big sewer which the engineers report
reccomends will cost $4,000 and that
half of this be raised in 1915 and the
sewer built then aud paving be defer
red for a year. Schuetze demanded
that the work proceed and that the
street be paved in 1915 according to or
iginal plans. Thorison doubted the
necessity for Sl2, 900 sewer until the
engineer explained the necessity for
keeping down the number of outlets so
as to be prepared for septic treatment
which he says the government will ip-
sist upon within five years. The street
is low and the sewer drains nearly the
whole south side. The mayor said
that pumping it will be the ultimate
solution. Action was deferred. There
is some hope that the sewer and paving
can both be laid next year.
The improving of Claak street at
"Truman's hill" just west OF 18th went
