George Schwegman has notified the board of works that he will comply

with their order, to the effect that he

must move his property, which was re

streets, back off of the city's lino.

When the building was first built it

projected four feet on the city's property. The board notified Mr. Schweg man that he would have to remedy th'

matter and he cut off two feet from th?

structure. However, it still projected beyond the line and another notice

was sent Schwegman. He has stated that he will entirely comply with the

order.

The board, at its regular meeting

this morning approved the assessment roll for the improvement of South A street, from Second to Twenty-first street, inclusive. The street was improved at a cost of $14,000; new cement curbs, gutteds and sidewalks being placed. The assessment roll for the

Inability to hit the basket with any degree of accuracy lost a fast basketball game for the Richmond Exports at the hands of the locals, in the city hall here last evening, by the decisive ecore of 45 to 23. Martin and Stanley of the Centerville team flayed a whirlwind game and were easily the stars of the contest Reece for Richmond put up the best game for the visitors. The slippery condition of the floor made the contest look more like a hockey game. The Richmond Exports Is a team composed mostly of Earlham students.

' Connersville, Ind., Dec. 10. The

i identification of the body of a woman, I found in the canal below this city,

tlast Sunday, was made complete yes

terday when relatives from Cynthiana,

Ky., declared the body to be that of

Mrs. Maurice Keller, of that place.

The body was identified by the worn

an'a husband and her brother. In

some respects the husband was in

doubt but the brother was positive

that the woman was his sister.

"A resident of this place, formerly of

Cynthiana, was struck by the resem

blance of the body to that of Mrs,

Keller, whom she knew well in Cyn

thlana, and who she also knew was

missins. She telegraphed the rela

tives.

It is believed Mrs. Keller, while

temporarily deranged, committed sui

several days and was badly bloated

Notwithstanding the fact that it 'ha? been the custom for years for the city officials to receive a half month's salary on December 13, in order that they

may have some Christmas spending money, the practice will not be followed this year, it is said.

The custom will be discontinued this

year In view or tne ract mat city Treasurer Nimrod Johnson, and City Controller Webb Parry are now up to

their ears in work, preparing their annual reports, and have no time to make out an extra pay roll. It was stated

by City Treasurer Johnson this morning that the new administration.

which goes into power the first of the

year, was responsible for the discontin

uance of the established custom thi3 year. He stated that heretofore It

had not been necessary for him to

start work on his annual report so soon

but inasmuch as he went out of office

on January 3, he must necessarily

make his report earlier in order to straighten up several other matters in

the office before leaving it.

The news is a severe blow to the

members of the police and fire and

other departments, who will have to make other arrangements for purchas

ing Christmas gifts.
