WOMAN'S LETTER
LEADS TO ARREST
She Complained About
Conduct of Tenants
of Her Home

Evidence contained in letter
written to Mayor Conaway by a
woman 100 miles from FRirmont,
figured prominently in the trial of
three men in police court this
morning. The three men are VII
ham brown, Mike Britt and Ben
Davis, who were arrested yester-
day afternoon by Chief Snider and
Patrolman Digman at 723 Dia-
mond street. The letter was writ
ten by Mrs. Maude Garletts
Brown, the owner OF the property,
who resides at Sapulpa, Okla. i
Mrs. Brown complained that the
men had been drinking, and ca-
rousipg and op1oy4us her dRuEh-
lefs n NO live upstairs and refused
to move out of the downstairs
apartments which she had rented
to them some time ago before go
ing to Oklahoma. The men were
fined $40 and costs each and ad-
vised to follow the line Of least
resistance and vacate the prem
ises.
Floyd Glover drew a fine OF SIS
and costs and was warned by Chief
Snider that his all too frequent in
voluntary visits to the police sta
ton are becoming unwelcome.
Floyd promised to turn over a
new leaf.
John Onnucheck, SlaYish min
er of Baxter, had only $4.14 when
arrested and Chief Snider took q
chance on his promise to come in
and pay the other Sc cents. John
said that someone had given him
poison"
Simon Merrill was on hand to
answer to a charge Of passing a
street car standing at the corner
of Sixth and Locust about ten days
ago. The case had been postponed
twice, once at the request of the
defendant and once on account OF
the absence of Mayor Conway
from the city. Merrill testified
that he was going at snail's pace.
Charles Manley of Bell Run, an
eye witness, allowed that he had
never seen snail move with such
celebrity. Another postponeme ent
was then decided on by the mayor
to procure the attendance Of other
witnesses, but Merrill afterward
came in and pleaded guilty and
was fined So.

alSNWas whispered softly during
the meeting yesterday OF the city
directors in the City building that
IA life sized bath.tub had been or

iitectors in an understone.
h ''Maybe they're goln' 10 use It

ed an individual present.
The welghty question was dis.
cuSsed pro and con for several mo-
ments and even on the streets
when It was learned that a bath
tub was to be part of the plumbing
facilities, many expressions OF
opinion were heard.
This morning William Asher
laughed when the question was put
to Ghlm and expressed delight that
FfsJmonters were interested
enough to inquire. 1t turned out

Mr.. Sunday himself following his

objected to the tub proposition
very seriously.
He wasn't bit IN favor Of so
much attention. But when DR.. kel-
ley had the tub installed whether
or NO, Mr.. Sunday availed himself
OF the luxury. Since then bath-tubs
6aye been installed at every taber-
eSscle and during the baths it is
uuIte common for Mr.. Sunday to
receive various delegations OF men
who insist on going over matters
of business with him at even this

doesn't object at all. In fact it is
