rccites a large number of in
stances in which it is alleged that
the complaint is bad in these

very vOlumnious and covers five
typewriter sheets. Hardly a
paragraph or sentence of the
complaint remains free from at
tack.
The hearing on the motion for
a bill of particulars and on the
motion to strike the complaint
will probably be held when Judge
Dunn is here next week and it is
possible that the demurrer will
be argued at the same time.

Property Owners
Consider Plans
FIGURE COST OF STREET IMPROVEMENT
PrOfiIeS Showing Cuts and Fills Also Estimates Of
Costs Will be Ready for Next Meeting

changes the average cost per lot
could be brought down to be-
tween $50 and $50, and perhaps
less.
The general opinion of those
present was that the cost of the
Improvement would have to be
ascertained and the petition would
have to state that the costs of the
improvement would not exceed a
certain sum to be named in it, and
the property owners would have
to be assured that the contract
would be so let that the cost
could not exceed that sum, or they
would not sign the petition.
1t was decided to have Engineer
Russell prepare a new grade in
which the cuts and fills would be
as near equal as possible and in
which the cost of the improve
ments should be cut as low os
possible. This grade will be
submitted to the taxpayers at
their next meeting, which it was
decided to hold on Feb. 2.
During the discussion it de-
veloped that there was consider
able opposition among the prop
erty owners on Twentieth street
and also on Idaho avenue. None
OF those opposing were present
at the meeting Wednesday and it
was decided to hold the next meet
ing at the residence Of Mr.. Dan
Nicholson on Idaho avenue, in
order to make it handy for the
opponents of the improvement to
be present. 1t will be decided
definitely at the next meeting
whether the district is to take in
all of the territory proposed OF
whether only Main street shall be
improved. Engineer Russell
agred to be present at the next
meeting and have a profile of the
proposed improvements, showing
the cuts and fills, also an esti-
mate of the cost.
J. II. Neil. chairman of the
property owners association oil
the district, urged that every
property owner III the district be
present at the next meeting as
it is necessary to decide at thai
time whether any improvement:
shall be made and if so what ter
ritory shall be included and wha
improvements shall be made as
the time is aready short in which
to get the petition signed and act
ed upon by the counei and thu
contract let.

Chief of Police William Steele
has engaged Attorney William d.
Keeton to look after his interests
in the suit which Albert r. Fer
rell has brought against Steele
and his bondsmen, the American
Surety Company, for false i'm
prisonment. Yesterday Mr..
Keeton appeared in the case and
fled a motion for a bill of par
ticulars asking the plaintiff for
an itemized statement of the
amount of damages claimed.
At the same time he filed a mo-
uon to strike out certain sections
and parts of sections in the plain
tiff's complaint. The motion to
strike is sweeping in its nature
and if granted in full by the court
but very little that is material of
the plaintiffs complaint would be
left.
He also filed a demurrer to the
plaintiffs complaint and asked
that it be dismissed for the rea-
son that the facts stated ana al
legged in the complaint are not
sufficient to constitute a cause Of
action, and further alleges that
the complaint is bad because it
does not allege or show that the
defendant Steele, exceeded his au-
thority or acted without jurisdic-
ton and that it does specifically
state that the acts alleged to
have been done by him were done
in his capacity as chief of police
Of The city and as a part of his Of

a man would be sent from here
who could positively Identify
