Meeting of The City Dads.
The second session of the new city
council was held Monday night and
considerable business was transacted.
The improvment of the public park
was taken up and discussed.
The street commissioner was ordered
to see that the side walks of the town
be kept in repair and if the property
owners fail to do it the work will be
done by the city and charged to their
property. It is a disgrace to allow
some of the walks to be as they are.
Sometime some one will have an ac
cident on account of the bad condition
of the walks and the city will have a
big suit on hand. Property owners >
should have enough pride in their
town to keep the walks in repair but
in case they will not the city should.
This action will meet with the approv
al of all, we are sure.
I)r. Rains and the committe on
health were ordered to see that some
of the filthy places be cleaned up at
once as a starter.
Contractor Johnson was given a
portion of the street in which to
pile the building material to be
used in the Savings and Trust build
mg.
The Lyric theatre was ordern! to
line the machine room with asbestos
and provide more exits.
An ordinance regulating the speed
of autos was ordered drawn and will
be passed.
Fenn Batty asked permission to re
model his house on his lot in the east
end of town and will be allowed to if
it is possible to find some way to get
around the ordinance regarding the
fire limit. The house is off in one
corner of the lot and not dangerous to
other buildings.
There is every indication that we
have an active council who will do
things, just what Grangeville needs.
We understand a Seattle mercantile
firm has rented one of the new brick
store roems which is being built this
spring.
Mrs. G. W. Moore and children of
California are her for a visit at the
Allen home, Mrs. Moore being a sis
er of Mrs. Allen.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church will hold a cooked food and
apron sale Saturday, May 22, at the
post office building. 50-2

Albert McGuire was the complain
ing witness in the case of State of Ida
ho vs P. A. McGuire, charged with
assault with deadly weapon. Both
parties are from the neighborhood of
Winona, the prosecuting witness
being a son of the defendant. Accord
ing to the story of the sou the old man
had come to bis place early in April
and started a row over the leasing of
some Indian land and ended it by
threatening to kill his offspring. The
young man, who is just a year or two
past his majority,told some pretty fierce
things of the defendant. The defend
ant, however, denied point blank most
of the accusations. The boy intro
duced several witnesses who corrobor
ated his testimony and the old gentle
man had but one witness. The court
discharged the defendant. Atty.
Scales appeared for the defendant and
Atty. Gilmore prosecuted.
There is going to l)e some trouble
for Chris. Waldmann, a Cottonwood
saloon keeper. Atty. Gilmore is after j
him for selling booze to some of the i
Indians who played in the Stites hall !
team here. The complaint charges
him witli selling liquor to Jesse James j
and B. Corbet. Waldmann was i
brought over and taken before the j
probate judge yesterday and plead not
guilty. He was placed under a $2001
bond which he furnished and will come !
