Problem.
Because members of the city coun
cil could not understand without some
explanation how it was possible for
every member of a hose company com
prising 15 men, to attend every on
of three fires in a single month and
how these fifteen men could put In
two hours at a fire which destroyed
a chicken coop and three hours at a
fire which burned down a $800
house, a bill for $112 from the hose
company was held up last evening,
pending a further investigation. There
was no desire manifested on the part
of any member of the city council to

and Mumm.
License Fee Not Reduced.
The question of reducing the li
cense required of ice cream peddlers
was brought up but after brief dis
cussion it was decided to allow the
amount of the license to stand as It
is. While it was admitted that the
amount of the license fee is practically
prohibitive, yet It was argued that
the men who are compelled to pay
rent and taxes to maintain a business
In the city should be protected.
It was also defintely announced
that peddlers of fruit, vegetables and
meat could not be reached by the
present ordinance and' it was deemed
Inadvisable to try to pass an ordi
nance requiring venders of these farm
products to pay a license.
Would Prohibit Junk Buying.
Councilman Stroble insisted that an
ordinance should be passed forbid
ding buying of junk by dealers, on
the ground that the habit of eatherln
up bottles, cans, sacks, etc, was mak
ing thieves out of the boys of the city.
-Mayor Murphy and Councilman
Montgomery took issue with Strohlp
and after a discussion It was decided
not to draw up the ordinance.
In asking for the ordinance Coun
llmnn Stroble explained that the
habit of gathering junk had become a
mania among many of the bovs of the
city and that they did not hesitate
to enter people's yards and carry off
everything '.n sight, whether of value
to the owner of the premises, or not.

Valley Girl Takes Her Life When De
tected in a Theft.
Eugene. Ore. Because she thought
she was disgraced for life on account
of being caught at the theft of a num
ber of articles of minor value from
a Eugene store some time ago, 16-year
old Huth Annette Scales, daughter of
Mrs. Jessie Seales, of Lorane, com
mitted suicide at her home Sunday
night by taking a quantity of strych
nine. The girl attended school at Eugene
from the middle of February until the
middle of June this year, and it was
while she was In this city that the
theft occurred. The clerk who
caught her in the act told her mother,
and she was severely reprimanded.
From that lime on the girl seemed to
be In a melancholy state of mind and
threatened suicide at several differ
ent line :
Sunday she attended n picnic near
her home, and returning in the eve
ening. She retired at the usual hour,
and when her mother entered her
room a few minutes afterward she was
in spasms. A physician was sent for
but the girl died before he reached
the house.
At that time the mother of the girl
did not know the cause of death. Cor
oner Gordon suspected It was from
poisoning, and yesterday he and Coun
ty i-nysician J. w. Mains made an
investigation. They found a half
empty bottle of the poison in the girl's
room on a table near her bed, and
this, together with the girl's threat
at self-destruction were sufficient evi
dence in their mind.
