CUNNI N CHAM 5. PYROTECHNICS. AGAIN SUPREM ME.
Council Sails Smoothly For Two Hours and a Half; Fireworks of Cunningham Enliven the Proceedings

Fire works of the Charlie Cunning ham brand was again the circus feat ure of last nights meeting of the city council The comparatively large audience appreciated both the Coun- cilman's fiery outbursts and the May or's soliciude in providing seats for capacity house.
 The hum-drum proceedings of the council for the first two hours and half pursuaded some of the weaker hearted ones in the audience to go home There was no trouble as the cogs of the business machine rolled in perfect order and the council in- dulged in no patriotic outbursts
 When, at last, Mayor Adams asked fl there was anything else to come before the council and Charles Gun ningham mentioned Brewery Gulch all of those who had remained thru the meeting pricked up their ears and ioosened their joints in preparation for an explosion.
 Like the snow ball which gathered sizs as 1t rolls down hill. so also did Councilman Cunningham's wrath mount as the discussion of the pro- posed improvement came out The committee, consisting of Cunningham. Holz and Hennessy which had called upon the Copper Queen Company and other taxpayers in regard to the pro posed Improvements, reported, in part and through Alderman Cunningham. that W. H. Brophy, who owned the corner, now occupied by the Miners Store, had asked time in the consider alton of the proposed reduction of the grade The property owner told the committee that he desired to call on the city engineer before he gave his opinion in the matter. It was shown where the grade of Brewery Gulch would be reduced, al the corner of the 1 Miners Store, approximately two and one half feet
 When the report was made Alder man Cunningham urged that the work be gone ahead with His talk was re- ceiyed with silence and finally he put a motion calling for the expenditure. on the part of the city, of $4,O0O in the repair of the grade and the con 'struction of pavement to the north end of the proposed park site.
 The alderman called for Q second Finally Councilman Holz offered to second it with the proviso that W. II Brophy was satisfied Councilman
 Holz said that in this he desired a clear right of way all along the street
 in order that no property owner
 should bring injunction proceedings against the city or recover damages
 Without waiting for any explanation
 Alderman Cunningham took the floor
 By God. gentlemen, there is one
 councilman in this chamber who i'
 not twisted by Brophy and he is Char
 lie Cunningham"
 Following this the explanation wal | given again and the alderman subsid , ed but not for long. Alderman Hen messy declared that all of the business
 men on Brewery Gulch were not iI I favor of the proposed work. B Cunningham declared that all of th' 3 biggest taxpayers along the stree B were. He cited l.. c. shattuck, Jo, 2 Muheim and Jakob schmid. Council - man Hennessy interrupted with th
 assertion that Sehmid had told hin
