discovered about two miles above

taken from the river and brought

there was absolutely nothing
found i'm the clothes or about the
body by which it could be posi-
lively identified.
Flanagan was working for

life. He was at work assisting
i'm breaking a jam and started to
cross the river at a place where
the jam was light He dropped
his pike pole and stopped to re-
cover it. While i'm the act of
picking it up the log ON which ne
was standing was struck by an
other log and he was hurled in
to the water, falling between the
logs which closed over him at
lonce. Work was stopped and

A special meeting of the city
council was held Friday afternoon
called for the purpose of audit

which have accumulated since the

The old fiscal year closed April

The work was accepted and the
engineers estimate of the cost

Another important matter
which was brought before the
council was the condition OF lhe
street leading from the city to-
wards M. C.. Clearys ranch. This
matter had been brought to the
lattcntion of the council carly last
spring. The street i'm question
was formerly a county road but
when the Milwaukee railroad
company built their branch line
they took the county road at this
particular place for their road
he'd under an agreement that they
would open up and maintain a
road higher up along their track.
This particular part of the road
has washed out and caved i'm.
The city authorities took HE
matter up with the railroad COM
pany, asking them to drive pill
ing and fix the road permanently
SO it could not wash out. The
company had their engineers look
over the road and they reported
that i'm order TO make the road
permanent it would be necessary
to drive the piling further back
than it would be possible to- reach
from the railroad track.
The railroad company asked tn,
city to set a price for which il
would fix the street and relieve TIA,
company from any further lia-
Ibility i'm maintaining it,. The
council was not i'm a position t'
make any offer at that time bu
referred the matter To- the stree
and alley committee and the Cit
engineer TO ascertain the cost o
fixing the street permanently am
also the probable cost of main
tanning it.
