ture.
u is reported that the men we're en-
gagged in PLAYING Tweutr-One. a card
game. ana that the Russian would Tot
pay the Italian. According to some OF
the parties concerned the Russian
started the shooting and the Italian
later followed suite.
After the shooting Rotti made no
effort to eyade capture. but gent back
TO his home. where ne was iaicT ar.
rested by Special Ohicer Bolyard, OF
The Consolidation Coal Company.
From what can De learned the partic.
ipants IN the card game had been
drinking liquor. The officer placed
Rottf in the company office until early
this morning when Sheriff Clover
took the man IN custody
Three other italians. Larry Csrlato,
Charles Randall and Rosie MeuaTds;
were also taken in custody aud
brought to the prosecuting attorneys
Office and in all probability they will
30 detained as Witnesses in the case.
II is understood that they live in a
house across the road. Only one sho:
was fired and that was a bullet from
a "a caIibre revolver.
The parties concerned in the shoot
ing with the exception OF the wounded
man. were closeted with Prosecuting
Attorney H2sgerty. Assistant Prose
cutting Attorney Miller and Sheriff
Glover today and the details OF the
story were told.
The nature of the charges brought
against ROTH Will depend upon the
outcome OF the Russians condition.
Late this afternoon felony charge
was brought against ROTH at the IN
stance of Prosecuting attorney Hag-
gerty and the accused was placed in
the jail. He is charged with felonious
shooting.
In connection with this case Samuel
Wallace, another foreigner, was arrest
ed this morning, he being charged with
selling whiskey II is probable that
some OF the whisLev that caused the
trouble may have eminated from this
source. y warrant was issued by JUS
rice Conway for his arrest. The &C
cused is committed to jail for pre-
liniraTy hearing.
The injured man appeared TO be do
ing nicely at the Cook hospital late
this afternoon. Dr.. II. Fl. Carr was en-
sesed in making S-ray pictures for the
purpose OF determining just how bad
IL he is Injured. The physician thought
ut that time that his wound was not OF
a dAnse-ous character, but would not
state positively until after the X-ray
plates had been developed.

Public Approves Fifty Cents
a Month Plan Submit
ted.
WILL Use THREE TRUCKS
Whole System Will be Plac-
ed in Charge Of Some
One Man.

Immediately the city will begin the
collection OF garbage, charging fifty
cents per month for each residence
where garbage is collected. Many OF
the blanks prepared by Mayor Bowen
and printed in the newspapers have
been filled out and returned, with an
almost unanimous approval Of his
plans. OF the rerereudi that have been
returned, there is but one man who
has fatty disagreed with the mayors
plans and TWO others who have offer
ed additional criticism
Maycr Bowen stated this morning
that the city would begin the opera
ton OF the garbage trucks under the
new plans Immediately. AT present
there is one garbage truck in opera
ton. The other truck will be removed
from the repair shop just as soon as
possible and third truck purchased;
which IS believed to be sufficient to
handle the garbage situation IN this
city. In the near future the city will
also consider the purchasing OF
pickup" truck, which will be used IN
gathering rubbish about the city.
One man will be put in charge of the
entire garbage situation. 1t is the
aim of the city to pay for the trucks,
equipment, and repairs, but to pay for
the actual collection of the garbage
by funds raised from the monthly gar
bs ge rates.
Not less than one trip will be made
10 each home per week. and after the
organization is complete. it will be the
aim to make two trips per week to
each home.
