Grant, who is a very poor man with a
large family, and he has been making a
living almost entirely by freighting.
Now that his five horses and two wagons
are gone, he is' practically left without

that he will be able to work any this

The bridge, it ' is understood, was
owned by M. A. Moody. It has been
condemned for several years by the
bridge inspectors, and was considered
unsafe by all who were obliged to cross
it. Therefore, it is very probable that
Mr. Grant will sue for damages. W.
Lair Hill, the noted lawyer and author
of Hill's Code, formerly owned . this
bridge, and he sold it to some parties
who became indebted to Mr. Moody,
who secured a mortgage on the bridge.
About two years ago the mortgage was
foreclosed, and thus became the property
of Mr. Moody, and has been a toll-bridge

Mayor Monefee presided last evening1
at the regular monthly meeting of the
city council, and there were present
Council men Nolan, R.OS9, Saltmarshe,
Wood, Thompson, Johns," Champlin,
Kuck and Clough. The last three
named -are" the new councilmen. ' Ex
Councilman Eshelnian was also present,
an interested and honorary spectator of
the evening's proceedings. J
The reading oi Dins was postponed
till next meeting, owing to the fact that
the finance committee had not been ap
pointed. "
The mayor's annual message to the
council wbb then read and received the
most respectful attention on the part of
the councilmen. - It appears in another
column.
The next order of business was nomi
nation of marshal and the election of
nightwatchman. There were many
visitors at the meeting, candidates for
the. two official plums at the disposal of
the city government, -and the friends of
these candidates. The mayor pref
aced ' the nomination by saying he
would present a name which he hoped
would be confirmed, one whom he had
selected after careful inquiry, and one
with whom he could work as well at en
forcing the laws of the city as any other
man, be would nominate Mr. W. H.
Butte. On motion of Nolan the ballot
was at once taken, resulting in a failure
to confirm by 6 to 3. When the result
was announced the mayor said he was
sorry the council had not confirmed the
nomination ; that he had no other
names to submit at this time. He did
not wish to be arbitrary, but he had
hoped Mr. Butts would be confirmed.
Moreover he did not like to name down
a list of names for approval or rejection,
ad he did not think it was justice to the
men, the council, or anybody else. He
urged that a second ballot be taken, and
on motion of Nolan the request was
complied with, with the same result, 6
to 3 against confirmation. Mr. Menefee
then reiterated his former statement,
that he had no other names to submit,
and desired a .meeting to be held in the
near future, at which it might be possi
ble' to' harmonize r upon somebody.
Agreeable to motion, this meeting was
voted for Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
For recorder, the mayor nominated
the present incumbent, Mr. Phelps. He
was confirmed by the council. ''
-.'Petitions for nightwatchman were
then read from Jobn F. Boot, Frank
Connelly, R.V. Gibons, W. H. Young
A. A. Urquhart, Julias Wiley, W. I.
Bassett and Cbris Bills. . Several ballots
were taken, the contest simmering
down between Gibonand Wiley, the
latter finally winning. . . ,
Councilman Nolan brought to the at
tention of the council a request from the
boat company that a hydrant be placed
on First and Court streets.' Referred to
committee on fire and water,, to report
at the next meeting. -: -

A request was then presented by the
Hook and Ladder Co. for an electric
light in their house, which on motion
was granted.
Mr. N. Whealdon then . requested the
council to take some action regarding
putting in a special watchman at the
East End to guard the wool and property
interests thee", which were endangered
by tramps and incendiarieB. A division
of opinion appeared among the council-men,-
which Councilman Ross, after
listening some time,, unified against
the- proposition by stating that Mr.
Moody and the Wasco Warehouse al
ready bad a watchman employed for
that purpose. After that no one would
even make a motio'n that a watch man
be employed by the city. .
The council then adjourned. ..
