to Canyon City on Tuesday, where the

A. Scott in 1895. Mr. Van Vector was
tucvensful in acquitting hit client, the
jury bringing In a verdict of acquittal In
just 3o minutes. Van and Jay bad the
ppearauce of a couple of veterans just
out of a wet aeason campaign in the
Phillippinos, wheu they drove lutotown,
and the big stories they told about the
mud in Wheeler county was reluctantly
believed by their friends because of the

we will defer any mention of Van's

A Fire Company Needod.
Now that Condon baa a good water
tystein the next thing in order It for tho

We have a good water supply, plenty of
hose etc, but if a Ore should break out
tomorrow we would find ourselves sadly
hampered because of the lack of organ
isation. The fire hose is acattercd all
over town in different placet and there it
perhaps not ono man in town, besides
the marshal, who knowa where all of it it
kept. More than thlt thero are doubt
less but few persons in town who on
derstand how to connect the hose, turn
on the water, or do many other things
which would be of prime importance In
case of fire We need organization and
discipline along this line and no time
should bo lout in getting to work. The
city council should take this matter np
at its next meeting and take such action
at may be nocessary to Insure tho early
organisation of a company. ' Every cltl
sen should agitate this question and In
siston an early organisation, lor upon
it may depend the safety of every borne
and every business Interest In Condon,
