After waiting for twenty minutes for the appearance of two of the most interested parties in the plan, and failing to locate their whereabouts by the telephone, those present proceeded to an informal dis cussion of the letter sent the mayor, in regard to the land recently ac- uired by MT. Smith in the south end of the city. Alderman A. M Pa onessa was the only member of the park extension committee in attend ance.
 Representing the common council were Aldermen Jester, Anderson and McCabe; Councilmen Mueller, May, Dehm. Steiner, Merriman, Richards, Gould, Eichstaedt and Tommaszew- ski.
 Z Mayor Quigley outlined the contents of the letter from the commission which showed that at present the city owns 37 acres of park property. The Isaac filling, Towers and Dewitt properties will, by virtue of purchase, increase this by about 85 acres. The missive pointed out the excellent con- dition of the land. for park and ath- letic purposes. There are two houses on one of the sites which bring a monthly rental of SIS each. The cost of installing draining system would be bout 300. The mayor spoke en- Enthusiastically of the project, but fa- vored the acquiring of land which would give entrance on South Main street, in preference to the Mill street site.
 He pointed out the need of such a tract of land where the High school athletes and those of other schools could enjoy clean, wholesome recrea- ton. A tribute was paid c. F. Smith by the mayor for his display of pub lie spirit in purchasing the land at this time, and although he believed that MT. Smith would hold the land for 9 reasonable period. he was of the belief that now was the time to take action. MT. Smith has offered to deed back the land to the city at the same price he paid for it. s9,- DUU. IL Was eApldlicu ludL dIl Opt1On was held on the filling property which can be bought for $14.5O0, the sum to be raised through taxation.
 Alderman Paonessa said that an additional appropriation of about $15,000 would be needed if land is to be bought Of the original ap- propriation for park purposes of $50, 900 nearly $40.000 has been expended
 Mayor Quigley said that he has always preached economy, but he be- lieved it was best to wait unless the Dewitt and Towers properties were purchased. In reply to a question of J skating pond on the park, Mayor Quigley said that it can be provided
 Councilman Eichstaedt said that the purchase and entrance on South Main street was step in the right direction. Councilman Richards ex- pressed himself as greatly interested in athletic fields and decried the fact that local schools are so badly hamp-

DOUGLAS PREACHER IS OFFERED JOB ON

Criticises the Police for Not Catching Bootleggers and Is Offered Chance to Catch Them at Salary of $10O.

Rev Hubert L. Sparks, pastor of the First Baptist church of Douglas. was quoted as making the statement that liquor was being sold in an open man. ner in that city. We must either get rid of our bootleggers or of our city police force" he said, according to the news article in question.
 The city council answered his state ment Monday night, when the motion of Alderman w. T. Boyd that Rev Sparks and any member of his con- gregation he might designate be em- ployed as regular members of the city police department with salaries fixed at S1O0 per month was passed unan- imously.
 An effort to notify Rev. Sparks of his appointment in order that he might come down to the city hall and be sworn in immediately, proved abor- tive
 Chief of Police w. & Kirby said that he stood ready to swear Rev. Sparks in at any time and would welcome his assistance in the difficult work of keeping the city clean. He re- fused to express himself further on the matter.
 A number of the patrolmen are said to be trembling in their several shoes for fear Rev. Sparks will clean up tho oi+, i'm cucb cbort ordar .t,o, sla;r services will be required no longer.

AMUSING EXPERIENCE IS HAD BY ATTORNEY
 OVER LOST BLANKET
Mexican Steals Navajo Blan- ket and Is Caught and Hires Frank Doan to Defend Him for Taking Doan's Blanket.

Attorney Frank Doan of Douglas was in the city yesterday on his way to Tombstone, he stopped here long enough to tell good story on him. self. Several days ago some one stole a Navajo blanket of of the clothes line in his back yard. He reported the matter to Deputy Sheriff Cross and stated to him that he would give the officer who caught the thief and recovered the robe a S5 hat A few moments after he had made this offer Cross caught man with the blanket trying to sell it in one of the pawn shops. The robe was identified by MT. Doan and the Mexican who had it in his possession was locked up charged with the theft. Soon after this Mr Doan was in his office and a woman came in and gave him s1O to defend Mexican who was under arrest. He took the fee but was sur Prised to find out that he was defend ing the Mexican who was accused of taking the blanket The Mexican claimed that it was given to him by another and this was the plea that Doan put up to the judge but it was of no avail, his client was convicted and sentenced to serve 1S0 days on the county road.
 The amusing part of the transac- tion is that Doan is S5 to the good, has recovered the blanket, and paid Deputy Sheriff Cross his new hat.

 This drug is sticky but dries at once and it said to simply shrivel up the corn without infiaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue.
