CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
ITS WEEKLY MEETING

The advisability of having a build
ing code to which petitioners for
building permits within the city would
be required to conform in making
plans for new structures was brought
to the attention of the city council

The plans and specifications for
the structure call for wooden stair
ways from the balcony, il was di-
vulged. and the use of wood is said
to be in violation of the city ordinance

cities have them. and that would pro-
vide added protection to the city in
the way of getting buildings put up In
proper shape

every precaution to protect the city.
the public and the private owners Of
new buildings in every way we cam"

Victory for Holdnan
The action of the commission is \
victory for those who have been i'm
sistent that the road should be build
from the river and through Holdman,
rather than through south Cold
Springs.
At the instance of farmers living
closer to Pendleton an effort had been
made to have work started from the
Pendleton end. Among the leaders in
this move were f. r. Marshall and ID.
p. Nelson. The ConameEeial=lA@secia-
tion managers had endorsed the re-
Quest that work be started at the PEN
dleton end but had not gone into the
question of routing the road.
The commission yesterday agreed to
match $4,000 Of UmatiIla county bond
money TO be used on the road west OF
Pilot Rock. This work win carry the
~ miles west of Pilot Rock

it will connect with the road now being
built towards Pilot Rock from Hepp-
ner.

Home; Guests
Sheriff Baker

There are two little orphan boys
about seven and ten years old in
Sisseton waiting for some one to
give them a good home. These lit
tie fellows are brothers, and were in
care of party in Alto township.
Reports had been going for some
time that they were abused, but no
one gave it much credence until one
came to school with one Of his ears
nearly twisted from his head. Then
the states attorney was appealed
to, the sheriff went for them, and
they are here waiting for home
and loving care. Sheriff Baker took
them to his own home and cared for
them. but scarlet fever forced a
quarantine on the Baker home, So
they have been at the sheriff's Office
since that time.

Two Arrested
on Auto Theft
Chg.Saturday

Sheriff Baker and Deputy Sherir
Minder went to Wapheton Saturday,
returning the following day with
three young fellows charged with
stealing an automobile belonging to
j. j. Stave. farmer residing north
of Claire City. TIE story, in sub
stance, follows: It seems that one
Joe Robbins. married man and the
father of two children, being out on
suspended sentence for stealing
wheat last winter, set cut in search
of adventure. In company with two
eighteen year old boys, j. NJ. Hagen,
and Oscar Langage:. he oecame an
adventurer in the northern part of
Roberts county. He saw the car of
one j. j. Stave. To see was to covet;
to covet was to possess. In company
with one of his pals, he proceeded
to the farm home of the aforesaid
Stave, leaving the other in Claire
City to make arrangements for gas
olene and other requisites for the
intended journey. The car was Sc
cured and the JOY ride begun to
Canada.
The auto proved very tractable
and easy to manage, until they
reached Christine, a small town
about twenty miles north of Waphe-
ton. There she planted her fore
feet, or four feet, as the case may
be, and refused to run. Perhaps
she was a prohibitionist car, and
the idea of entering on Canadian
soil was distasteful to her. At any
rate, her fit of temper lasted, until
! the patience of the trio gave way
and they offered her for sale, pre-
sumably to the highest bidder. The
garage man said he would take the
young lady, break her we'll, and
teach her to be an obedient and Win
some damsel, and he paid down a
small sum of money to bind the bar
gain.
But. meanwhile, things had been
happening The Wapheton sheriff
was hot on the trail, and reaching
Wapheton. gave the three young
men free ride back with him, and
food and shelter until the faithful
Roberts county law wielders, Baker
and Minder, conveyed them back to
South Dakota soil. The hearing
was held Tuesday before Judge Prin'
diville, and the offenders bound ovel
to the next term Of court.

Excursion Rates
to Auto Show in
Cities Next Week

Those wishing to attend the Auto
show in Minneapolis next week, will
have an extra inducement in the
way of railroad fare. The Milwau-
kee has granted an excursion rate
OF fare and half for the round trip,
effective Feb. to II, and good for
return Feb. IS. This is somewhat
of a departure from the custom that
has prevailed for the past several
years, as excursion rates have not
been granted, and one which, we
believe, will be taken advantage of
by many of the people in Roberts
county.
