NUMBER 81


Editor Tribune; ! respectfully solicit
space in your racy columns for the fol-
lowing which is deemed to 80 of inter
est to the general public;
There seems to be wave of sport
on rampage at the expense Of the
Police Justice of Mineral Point. by his
allowing to escape prisoner charged
with having violated enc of the ordin-
ances of the city. OF course your Pc
lice Justice has not been in the habit of
thrusting people in the cooler, or keep
ing them there for any length of time,
or asking large sums of bail for their
appearance, and especially 80 of a per-
son who was held in such high esteem
by the city council as to engage his
services to keep watch of the contract
or in the erection of the new city
building. Your Police Justice wanted
to treat such person with that re-
spect becoming the position he held.
Had the city not engaged this very
important (?) person to fill such posi-
ton as he has held most likely he
would not have remained here to fall
into the hands of the police court; and
from all accounts he has not only man
aged to beat the court of Justice, but
the city generally speaking, by getting
excessive pay for looking important
and wise, by keeping tab on man
who was supposed to be under the con-
troll of the architect drawing the plans
of the building, and furthermore, by
the contract he secured from the fire
department at an exorbitant price and
which was settled in full to him. while
he has not up to this writing settled in
full with the men working under him
and employed by him.
Such is the man who is fugitive
from justice, a criminal at large The
parties instrumental IL securing this
very important person as an overseeing
architect at fat pay are in such posi-
ton that the laugh properly belongs on
them. 1t did not cost the city any
thing by this flight from justice.
Respectfully yours
j. j. KuEtJNG,
Chief Justice.

Gasoline Fires.

During the month of June there were
reported to the Fire Marshal Depart
ment in this state, ffty-four fires
caused by the explosion or the ignition
of gasoline. These fires caused the de-
struction of property valued at approx
imately one hundred thousand dollars
and in every instance the fire was
caused by the careless handling or i'm
proper storage of this dangerous fluid.
Many cities in the state are now
adopting ordinances requiring gasoline
and other volatile oils to be stored in
approved underground metal tanks and
it would seem this is the only safe and
economical method of handling this
dangerous explosive.

nov large, real lake resort could be
provided Mineral Point by daming the
Pecatonca a short distance below
Castle Rock, or about half mile from

there would be no similarity to frog
