City Council Holds
Special Session
WATER SUPPLY QUESTION UP AGAIN
CCunciImen Favor Employment Of Engineer
Jaquelh to Again Investigate Conditions :

A. l.. Jaqucth of Billings, Mon
ana the civil engineer who made
the report ON the water system
Tor the former council, is i'm the
city. He had been in Spokane
on business and stopped here on
his way home to see of the city
had taken any steps towards
changing the system. After dis
cussing the matter with Mayor
HALEY special meeting of the
council was held Monday evening
to go over the water works ques-
tion with him.
Mr.. Jaqueth, i'm his report last
fall, went over the entire question
I the water system and the int
provements which he suggested
would mean practically an entire
new system and would entail an
Xpense of eighty or ninety thou
sand dollars ON the city. His plans
included the bringing of the
water from Rochct creek. The
present council proposes TO fol-
low the plans laid down i'm The re-
port of the taxpayers committee
as far as they are practical and
do NOT contemplate the expendi-
lure of more than twenty thou
sand dollars. This was explain
ed to Mr.. Jaquelh.
I'm making his Investigations
last fall he did not go into the
possibilities of Cedar creek and
Thorn creek To- any great extent
as hc lacked the time and so was
not able to state off hand whe-
ther the plan outlined in the re-
port of the citizens committee is
practicable or not. Some of tn,
members of the council favor en-
lLloying Mr.. Jaqucth as engineer
and have him make a detailed re-
port of the cost of the PROPOSED
work, arguing that as he has al
ready done some work in the mat.
ter il would be a saving to thl
city. Two members of the coun
ell were absent from the meeting
last night and no determination
vas reached.

OF Ashland county, Wisconsin,
asking him TO try and locate one

Files Damage Suit
Against Railroad
COMMENCE ACTION in DISTRICT COURT
Alleges Personal Injuries And Asks Judgment
Of One Thousand Dollars

Attorney Geo. J. Nc Fadden of
Plummer filed an action Friday in
the district court for this county
for James II. Wilson of Tekoa
against the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway company in
which Mr.. Wilson asks for one
thousand dollars damages for
personal injuries.
About the middle of April Mr..
Wilson shipped some horses
from Tekoa to Livingston, Mon
tana, going in the caboose of the
same train to take care of them.
The train stopped at Avery and
Mr.. Wilson started to leave the
car to look after the stock AS
he was about to pass through the
the door the engine struck the
train nearly throwing him down.
He put out his hand to save him
self and the force of the jar at
the same time caused the door of
the car to swing shut with great
violence, catching his hand and
crushing two of his fingers.
Mr.. Wilson alleges that be-
cause of the injury he was oblig-
ed to have someone take care of
his stock at cost of fifty dol
lars and that because of the in
jury he was irritable and lost two
hundred and twenty-five dollars
in the sale Of the stock. He al
leges great suffering and menta
anguish because of the injury
for all of which he asks the COM
pany to pay him one thousand
dollars damages and the costs o'
the action.
