Petition to Connell Asking for Another
Election.
ORGE IMMEDIATE ACTION OR IT
Committees Have Secured a
Long List of Signers.
a
A movement baa again been
started to have the city purchase
the water system and the council
will be urged to immediately issue
a call for another election to vote
bonds for that purpose. Since the
last election, which failed of the
necessary two thirds vote to carry
the bond issue, some have claimed
that another trial would insure
success as the supporrers were
over confident of success and failed
to get the voters out.
On Tuesday night a mass meet
ing was held at the court house
and those present were strongly in
favor of calling another election.
J. A. Wilkinson was chosen chair
man, Dr. Q. A. Green secretary,
and after some discussion of the
matter it was decided to divide
the town in four districts and im
mediately circulate petitions ask
iug for another election,
committees appointed to look
after the various districts were aB
follows: In the northwest part of
town John Phillips, Joe Irwin, L.
M. Harris, J. A. Bradbury; in the
northeast Robert White, J. J.
Pulse, Frank Ritchet, W. A. Hall,
B. L. Crosby; in the southwest
F. G. Eames, W. E. Graham, D.
T. Mills, F. L. Leonard; in the
southeast I. C. Hattabaugb, J. I.
Overman, W. J. Davis and W. D.
Vincent. The committees report
splendid success in their canvass
and will ask the council to call an
other^election as early as proper
notice can be given.

High School Won.
A game apiece, and each epptest
which they justly earned,
is the condition now of the Y. M.
C. A.-high school basket ball games.
At tbe game Friday night, which
ended in a victory for tbe high
school boys by a score of 19 to 14,
some very good basket ball was put
op. Fred Brown was tbe star of
the game, with Thing of the gym
team a close second,
some excellent basket throwing
from difficult positions on the field.
The playing of WilliatP 8 and Fish-
er of the high school team was also
commendable. Skinner's and
Wylde's work wae also appreciated.
Considering the fact that it was
Hackett's first game he is to be
complimented on his playing. Tbe
game as a whole was much better
than the first contest of tbe series.
Tbe sentiment of the crowd, which
was strongly in favor of the high
echooH had much effect on the
score being as it was. Tbe next
game, which is to be played Fri-
day, November 17th, is looked for-
ward to as the best game of the
series.

INJURES HEN
Premature Explosion Takes Place in
Cracker Jack Mine.
HAILEY AND MAXEY ARE THE VICTIMS
Each Have Broken Arm and
Many Fearful Bruises.
By
the
to
As the result of an accidental
explosion of giant powder last
Thursday evening in the Cracker
Jack mine RufuB W. Hawley, sec
retary of the company, and William
Maxey narrowly escaped death and
are both badly wouuded. With a
man named Perkins they were
working in a drift in the lower
tunnel and had drilled five holes in
the face of the drift which they
were loading with giant powder
preparatory to shooting. It was
almost six o'clock and Hawley and
Maxey were loading the last two
holes, wishing to complete it be
fore quitting. Just what caused
the explosion will probably never
known. In three holes the fuse
had been attached ready for shoot
ing and oue suddenly exploded
knocking both men down and
slightly wounding Perkins who
was near the mouth of the drift.
This was immediately followed by
another explosion in which two
other shots were fired, almost cov
ering the wounded men with rock.
Superintendent Holmes rushed in
the tunnel and succeeded in get
ting the men out on an ore car
although Maxey was unconscious
and Hawley was so badly hurt
that he could not walk alone.
Mr. Holmes then phoned here for
physician and Dr. Campbell
started at once and reached there
at ten o'clock Friday. He found
Maxey still unconscious, with his
right arm broken below the elbow
and bis head and face fearfully cut.
Hawley's left arm was badly
crushed near the shoulder and, like
Maxey, was suffering from fearful
cuts and bruises about the head
and neck.
Under the doctor's care Maxey
soon regained consciousness and
after dressiug their injuries it was
decided to start the next morning
with the wounded men for this
place. They reached here Sunday
night and were taken to the hospi
tal, but later Mr. Hawley was taken
to his mother's home and Mr.
Maxey to the home of Fred Mc
Kenzie. They are both doing as
well as could be expected after this
fearful experience and in time will
fully recover.
A

I have arranged to finance tbe
proposition and can dispose of all
of the shares of the said association
with outside capital. In order to

operation of tbe citizens of the city,
1 prefer that any who so desire

It is tbe intention to make tbe
necessary improvements of tbe
present system so that it will be
ideal for fire protection and domes
tic purposes and fully up to date.
Those who are iuturested will
please call af my office where 1 will
be glad ta give them full and de
tailed information regarding same.

FRANCHISE
Electric Line Can Lay Track In Streets
of GrangeYllle.
MUST BE COMPLETED BY JOBE, 1907
Option on Terminal Grounds
Also Secured.
At a special meeting of the city
council last Friday night a fran
chise was granted to the electric
railroad to build and maintain a
track in the streets of Orangeville.
By the provisions of this franchise
the road will enter the city at the
north end of Idaho avenue and run
south to Main street, then east on
Main to Mill street, south on Mill
to South street, then west to oity
limits. It also permits the con
struction of a spur on Meadow
street to Knorr's mill and one on
State street to Schwalbach's mill.
Only one track can be laid in a
street and freight cars can only be
bandied in the streets between
midnight and five o'clock a. m.
The road must be completed and
cars running by June 1, 1907, or
the franchise will become void.
An option on terminal grounds
has been secured and everything is
now in readiness for construction
work to begin. Mr. Thompson
feels confident that but little delay
will occur in this part and that the
road will be completed on schedule
time.

tively, are to clash on tbe gridiron

to be served that evening by tbe
losing team. The two aggrega
tions have been practicing vigor
ously and a good game may be
expected. Tbe lineup, which is
given below, is composed of some
of tbe best foot ball talent tbe city
affords:

Interesting Debate.
A great deal of interest is mani
fested in tbe debate that is to be
pulled off soon between the Lewis
Commercial school and tbe Y. M.
C. A. The affair will be held in
the Odd Fellows' hall on the even
ing of December 5th. Tbe ques
tion, "Resolved, That the general
tendencies of the labor unions have
been beneficial to tbe people of tbe
United States," is to be debated by
tbe two teams. Tbe Lewis Com
mercial school team will argue for
tbe affirmative side of the queetion
while tbe boys from tbe Y. M. Q. A.
will represent the negative. Judges
are to be cboeeu soon to act at the
debate. Geo. Peters, H. H. Har
ris and Wray M. Lewis will repre
sent the Lewis Commercial school.
While the third member of tbe Y.
M. C. A. team has not been chosen,
Clement Hanna and E. E. Van
Wert have been selected. It is
quite probable that Frank Wylde
will participate as the third mem
ber of the team. It will be a very
good debate, one that is worth the
commendation and support of all.
Tbe entire seating capacity of the
ball will be reserved at 25 cents a
seat and a good crowd is expected
to witnese the contest.
