PAVING DROPPED
Controversy Between Two Factions
Temporarily Checked

AcmpUIdEHy OHCChcu
Deciding unanimously to kill the ordi-
nance for the time being, the city COM
mission settled an argument between
two factions of citizens at the Tuesday
meeting of the board.
The ordinance proposed that Thir-
tenth street, from Fourteenth street to
Twelfth court, north, be paved. 1t was
the same controversy that arose week
earlier when members of the congrega-
ton of the Calvary Baptist church
asked that the city refuse to pave
the street.
Commissioner W. B. Cloe said he was
for the paving mainly because it would
facilitate fire apparatus in doing their
work. Commissioner w. f. Dickson
said he would be for the measure if
the majority of property owners affect
ed, wanted the work done.
Several citizens spoke for and against
the paving, some saying that signers
of the petition to pave had also signed
the petition not to pave. When this
developed, the commission took action,
calling for a re-check, and turning down
the paving ordinance that had been
compiled

a warehouse belonging to the Hill Gro
Gerry company about a year ago. The
case is being tried before Judge Will

the most daring in the history of the
city. The nightwatchman was tied, the
company safe blown open, and several
thousand dollars was stolen. Wells
was captured and tried a short time
later. He is now in the county Jail
