DER RESIGATION TO CITY

Orcl Sovereign. for three years head
OF the Caldwell fire department and
for eight years member of the fire
squad, announced Thursday that he
would tender his Resignation to the
city council at its next regular meet
ing. The resignation will become cf-
fective about March |.
Mr.. Sovereign, whose work as chief

eral satisfaction, announced that he
will go into business and that for
this reason it is necessary for him to
sever his relations with the city Of
flee. He and Robert Corbin, an en-
ploye of Shanks Auto company, have
taken over the Dclain-Sw contract

ploy an expert in that line of work.
During the time that Mr.. Sovereign

dinance and created the new office of

eign has filled in additional to hrs
work as head of the fire department.

UNKNOWN
VICTIM WAS CRAZY

Nampa-Beliefsthat the unknown
man who was killed by being run ov-

1T is the concensus OF opinion that
the man was a trespasser. and appar-

remains: these tools were later iden-

We are unable to determine why or
how the man came to be in that 10

COUNCIL DISPOSES
OF MUCH BUSINESS
ROUTINE MATTERS COME BE-
FORE CITY FATHERS FOR
CONSIDERATION

Routine business only came before
the city council at the regular meet
ing held Monday evening. Mrs. Ada
Brauner of Nampa who fell here some
time ago near the traders day sale
grounds and wrenched an ankle, was
awarded 5000 by the city in compen-
sation. She asked for $1,000 but the
matter was compromised.
]. F. Bales was awarded an addi-
tional 80 days in which to complete
the Indian Creek retaining wall. Cold
weather made a cessation of that
work necessary and those circum-
stances prompted giving the contrac-
tor sufficient opportunity to conclude
his work.
Extensive park Improvements re-
ceived their initial impetus at the
meeting when the proposition of pur-
chasing a power lawn mower and 9TH
er equipment was referred to the park
committee.
John Plowhead appeared before the
council and offered to deed to the city
an alley right-of-way in the rear O.,
the commercial building now being
constructed on Kimball avenue on
Blaine. The matter was referred to
the city engineer and attorney and the
street committee.
J. F. Rowland and others presented
a request that South Tenth street be
gravelled. This matter was referred
to the committee on streets. c. S.
Tucker and DR.. ]. S. Meyer asked the
certain changes be made in the curve
of the Boise Valley traction line where
it passes onto Cleveland boulevard
from Tenth street This matter was
referred to the street committee.
Bills were allowed and the council
adjourned to meet again Wednesday
evening.

NEW EQUIPMENT
|ST0 Be ADDED
Power Company Making Provis-
ions To Bolster Caldwell
Service

Substantial additions will be made
to the power equipment of the Idaho
Power company to handle the rapidly
increasing demands made upon their
equipment here. Because of the large
number OF new homes and the greatly
augmented requirements OF Caldwell
business and industrial concerns, some
difficulty has been experienced re-
Gently by users OF electricity in OBJ
tanning sufficient current to meet all
demands, particularly when the peak
load is being carried.
Officials OF the Power company
have been trying almost frantically to
obtain equipment to not only elm
mate this difficulty but insure add
tional electricity in sufficient quantity
to provide for good reserve for ex-
traordinary demands. According 70
|. ii. Chapman, local manager, the
consumption of power in Caldwell has
doubled during the past year ana u
is expected that further heavy de-
mands will be made upon the plant
this coming spring and summer when
building operations are again fully
under way. Because Of the inabilit,
to obtain equipment, Caldwell has al
most faced power shortage.
Two voltage regulators and simplex
condensers have already been received
and are being installed. This equip
mcnt will materially reduce the losses
and will add approximately rs per
cent to the available supply of power
for Caldwell. An additional circuit
and large amount of Transforming
material have been ordered and will be
installed, This will give Caldwell four
complete circuits and will necessitate
the addition of three men to the force
employed by the Power company.
Caldwell, because of its favorable
location, will be used as the center
for the distribution of a new line
carrying 10000 volts which is pro-
posed to bring here. Thousand
Springs will be used as the source of
4his power. This is the first step in
making this city one of the chief
power distribution centers of this sec
ton of the state.

CLEVELAND KILLED
BY TRACTION CAR
JURY so FINDS AT INQUEST
BUT CLEARS TRAIN
CREW.

That Ralph Cleveland, victim of all
accident on the Caldwell Traction
lines last Sunday near Appleton, met
his death when struck by the car driv-
en- by l.. A. Loehr but that the crew
OF the car were not responsible for
the accident was the verdict brought
in by corernor's jury after an in
quest held Wednesday afternoon.
Nothing materially different from
the first story of the affair came ou
at the inquest. Both members of the
crew were examined as were Mrs. Cox
and Mrs. Findley, both of whom saw
Raphael Cleveland shortly prior to
the accident upon the tracks They
testified that they saw Cleveland
walking around somewhat aimlessly
that he finally sat down near the
track and that they saw him lay his
head on the rail shortly before the car
came along.
1t became apparent that the repor,
that Cleveland was under the nflu-
ence of wood alcohol was without an,
basis. He is spoken of as an excep-
tional clean young man. not addicted
to drinking. Loss OF sleep during the
two nights preceding the accident and
hard work are given as the probable
explanations for him falling asleep be-
side the track. He was apparently
practically exhausted for want o,
sleep. He was apparently in state
of acute physical exhaustion.
Edward Hunter of Rigby, brother
inlaw OF Mr.. Cleveland, came to Cald-
well Thursday to take the body o,
Cleveland back to his home for bur
ial. 1t is said that Mrs. Cleveland is
a woman of delicate health and that
the shock will be hard on her.

The body was that OF white man
about forty years OF age, five feet four
inches tall, weight lbs pounds. dark
hair and smooth shaven. There were
no marks or papers OF any description
found on his person or clothing which
would identify him. and it has not been
determined who the man was,
Engineer Orr and Fireman Palmer
testified that they were keeping a
lookout ahead approaching and pass
ing the point where the accident oc-
CURED, but they did not observe any
persons on the track ahead. The train
was running approximately 80 miles
per hour, according to the testimony
of the engineer and fireman, approach
ing and passing the point where the
body was found. The electric head
light on the engine was burning very
brightly. The evidence shows that
Engineer Orr shot off steam in the
vicinity of the accident preparatory to
stopping train at the east passing track
switch at Caldwell to enter the sid
ing for tran No. Is, eastbound, the
smoke trailing and partially obscur-
ing. the view ahead while the train ran
distance of about four hundred feet
until smoke was taken up by the blow
err which was turned on by the fire
man after the steam was shut off. The
weather at the time was cold and
foggy, and objects on the track could
not be seen for more than about two
hundred feet"
