City Health Officer Chace's report
showed that there is little sickness
in town and no inmate in the city
hospital. He uiged that scavengers
be compelled to dump garbage out
on the ice and that a trail be staked
with flags beyond which the refuse

Fred Meyer was elected city on
gincer at a salary of $150 a month.
Councilman McAllister favored the
purchase o, an electric motor to pump
air into the compressor which starts
.he new are eng.ne and Councilman
itoS3 strenuously opposed it as un
til cessary because the compressor is
capable of doing the work and, if it
weren’t, a couple of men can g.ve the
fly wheel a turn more quickly than
the motor coo.d pump in a head of
u,r. This matter and the addition of
a couple of call nun to sleep in ths

It then developed that the firemen
need new mattresses und it was vot
ed that they should have them. The
quality was not specified, it was Jus.
m. ttu sses. A wide latitude wa3 thus
allowed the city quartermaster who
may apparently buy at his option the
b st hair mattresses or a cotton slab
It was specified, however, that the
mattresses shall be single.
The meeting then adjourned until
Saturday n.ght.

JACK JOHNSON SOUGHT BY
FEDERAL OFFICERS FOR
OLD OFFENSE
International Newt Service.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Federal officers
are hot on the trail of Jack John
son, the colored pugilist, who jump
ed his bail bond after being con
victed here on a charge of white
slavery.
After leaving this city secretly he
turned up in France where he has
alnce remained with the exception of
his journey to Havana whither he
went to fight Jess Willard. The au
thorities were only too glad to be
rid of him. Bu' as he has again re
turned to this country It has been
determined to bring him to this city
to receive the penalty of his abhor
rent crime in case an appeal does noi
alter the status of the case.
The officers expect to run him down
inside of three days, it Is stated.
The former colored champion has
been keeping his movements very d irk
as no mention has been made of his
return lo this country. It Is sup
posed that he must have entered the
country by way of one of the Gulf of
Meixco port3 where the presence of a
huge negro would not attract atten
tion.
