CITY COUNCIL
BUY LEAF SCREEN
Discuss Purchase Of Modern
Fire Truck and Transact
Much Other Business
CARDIFF WATER LINE

One of the first matters brought
to the notice of the city council
Monday evening was the patent leaf
screen, an invention of A. Thome,
and used most successfully the past
year for screening the leaves, twigs
and debris from the city water as
it passed down the flume The light
and water committee had some
time ago been authorized to investi-
gate this machine and at Mondays
meeting Aldermen Dougan and Nc
Coy reported that they had found
the machine doing excellent work
and freeing the water of much Of
the leaves which formerly proved
such a fruitful source of annoyance
to water users
Upon the report of the committee
the city allowed Mr.. Thome $3.50 as
royalty on the machine, the city
to be allowed to make and use as
many of the machines as desired
The Cardiff pipe line came in for
considerable discussion, all agreeing
that the line was in very bad shape
and Mayor Kirwan said it had been
causing almost constant trouble of
late. A motion was carried to the
effect that the light and water
company and the city engineer make
q thorough inspection of the line
and make report on same to the
Public Utilities commission at Dem
yer.
Action on the Hanging lake
proposition was on motion deferred
until next meeting.
Alderman Cross introduced
resolution raising the license fee
on picture shows from 500 to
5000 per annum and limiting
the number to two shows.
This latter feature did not appeal
to the other members of the council
and the resolution was withdrawn
for the present.
Application was made by some
Leadville parties for permission to
conduct street skating rink and
dance hall. but the council took the
matter under advisement and de-
ferred action until next meeting.
A number of the members of the
volunteer fire department appeared
before the board and asked that the
department be supplied with mod
ern fire truck, such as is suitable
for town of this size. Henry
Davis. chief of the department. re-
ferred to the ancient and out-of-
date equipment now furnished the
department to work with and said
1t was not only inefficient but posi-
lively dangerous to the firemen.
The aldermen were agreed that
there was great need of better
equipment but could not see where
the money was to come from for its
purchase. Alderman Mccoy thought
the city should pay cash as he be-
lieved it would mean considerable
saving and he thought some plan
might be worke dout for financing
the matter. After all had express
ed themselves favorable to the pur-
chase of new equipment the matter
was left with the finance committee
to see what arrangements could be
made for securing the money neces-
sary for a cash purchase.
The city clerk read list OF
those delinquent on sidewalk tax
and he was authorized to certify the
same to the county treasurer for
collection with the ordinary county
taxes.

CASPER, wyo., Oct. 16.-Consider-

which appeared on the streets of Cas-

by reason OF its equipment.
1t was a regular houseboat on q
Ford body, and built up so that all
of the conveniences OF a cabin or a
small room could be had in II.
dainty little house was built on
the body of the automobile, and II was
fitted up with beds, shelving, and
other conveniences for living, and so
arranged that storms and rain would
not have any effect on its occupants.
The owner OF the unique outit is
J. Sheafer, OF Brooklyn, y. Y, and
he made the trip in 1t in company
with a friend named Malone, who left
it at North Platte and took the train

deliberated five hours before a YER
dict was returned last night. It is
said that an appeal will be taken.
Five others held in connection with
the kidnapping will be tried later,
and Special Prosecutor Roscoe c. Pat
terson says he has sufficient evidence
to convict them as being accessories.
PiersoFs conviction was secured on
circumstantial evidence and his coun-
sci argues that the State had in no
way connected him with the crime.
The KIDNAPPING the three-year-old
child last May took place when he
strayed away fro mhis nurse on the
Keet lawn. Shortly after his disap-
pearance Mr.. Keet received letters
demanding $4,000 in cash for the re-
turn Of the child. He Is one of the
wealthiest men in Springfield. He
was willing to pay the ransom, but
was unable. by the directions fur
nished in several later letters, to To-
cate the band of kidnapers.
After a search OF several days the
dead body of the child was found in
an abandoned cistern in the yard of
an old farmhouse. The clothing of
the baby was found inside the house
in a walled up elevator shaft. The
theory IL that the child starved TO
death in the shaft and was then
thrown into the well.

what viii amount to 10 per cent in

Western lines, including all those
operating west of the Mississippi, have
not yet arranged a conference with
the commission, but their executives
are now engaged in making arrange

case.
The attitude Of the Southern lines
still is in doubt Their needs are not
