DAYLIGHT BURGLAR
WOUNDED At CARlEY
Section Foreman Fire. at Stranger
Who is Caught in Act Of Pill
fering Section House
Especial to Courier Reporter)

Carley, WASH, May 15-A
stranger, giving his name as j.
w. Kelly, caught in the act of
burglarizing the S. P. & S. Sec
ton house, was shot and wounded
here today by Section Foreman
Percy Guanis.
For some time the section men
have been annoyed by people
breaking into the section house
and carrying off whatever they
could find of value. May 9 a hat.
some clothing, a rifle and other
articles were carried off and con-
sequently the men have been
keeping a close watch on men
going up and down the tracks.
This morning as the crew came
up the track they met a man
walking toward the station. The
foreman Of the crew dropped off
the handcar, taking his rifle with
him, to watch the man. When
Gaunis arrived at the house he
found that the man had forced
an entrance through the back
door. When the foreman called
to the man to come out he jumped
through a window on the oppo-
site side of the building and
started to run across the sand to-
ward the river. Gaunis called
out several times for the man to
stop but the challenge was un-
needed and three shots fired into
the air failed to halt him. Gaunis
then fired at the fleeing man with
the intention of wounding him in
the leg but the shot entered his
body about the top of his hip.
Gaunis Immediately notified M.
E. Carley and A. H. Poston who
rendered temporary aid to the
wounded man and communicated
with the superintendent Of the
IS. p. & S. It is not thought
Kelly's wound will prove serious.

snail consider a proper charge to
that fund because he labors on
the streets for the entire time for
which he is paid.
| do not counsel nor would /
countenance extravaganza, but
consider prudent expenditure, to
keep the streets in a safe and
convenient condition for travel
and traffic a positive economy.
| believe it to be the duty of the
council to provide for constant
diligence in the care of the streets
so that the public has a guarantee
OF safety in the use Of the streets
and the city will have reasonable
insurance against claims for dam
age arisingfrom accidents result
ing from neglected streets, wash
outs, cave-ins, etc.
We have within the city ap-
proximately twenty miles of
street. No very considerable
part has been improved.
To any one at all familiar with
theircondition, itcannot seem too
much that the street commissions
er be employed constantly, being
required to render faithful intel
hgent service. / am sure such
action will meet with the approx
al Of a great majority Of all the
tax payers and the patrons of
every business in the city.
Il, therefore recommend that
the street commissioner be con-
tinued in service.
Il find that the city has annual
ly paid to the County Road and
Bridge Fund considerable sums
of money. The Statute provides
that the county commissioner
may expend within the city fif-
teen per cent of the amount so
paid by the city. The fifteen per
cent to be used on the roads and
bridges in the city, leading to and
connecting with county roads. un-
der the supervision Of the county
commissioners.
THE sums contributed and the
amounts which the city is entitled
! to have expended on the streets
are for the several years as fol-
lows:

budget for the years 1910. 1911,
1917 and 1913 and find the item

sum of SIS. OOO. 90.
I have checked up the war

AT the last meeting Of the
council with a mere quorum pre-
sent, while considering petition
for the appointment Of CIV. San
ders to have entire charge of all
the irrigation systems in the city,
3 motion was passed to employ
Mr.. Sanders and to discontinue
the employment of the street
commissioner.
II think the council was under
the impression that there was not
sufficient funds for the employ
ment Of Mr.. Sanders and the
commissioner.
i find the budget for the cur
rent levy provided $500. 90 which
together with the sum due for
the different irrigation districts
will be ample to pay the irrigator
and the annual maintenance for
water rights.
II shall not draw warrants on
