,faruuiii uu viuim Agent iraot r ujl, rof the C. and O. railroad regarding ithe raising of the railroad bridge over Main street nineteen Inches, a question which has vexed every administration for the past fifteen years. : The city officials as the usual rej suit of conferences with C. and O. railroad representatives are still "watching" and "waiting" for that company to take some action in the matter. ; Mr. Booth said the company would ;not be directly benefited by raising the bridge, which is undoubtedly true; that the question was in the hands of ("the chief engineer of the company rand he had no authority to make any proposition; that the improvement would cost between $8,000 and $9,000 ;and that he thought the burden of the expense should be borne by the T. H., 'I. and E. Traction company, which is principally benefited by the improvement. To Order Improvement. i ' Mayor Robbins and President- Bavis agreed with Mr. Booth that the traction company was most interested 1c ithe improvement and it was decided No notify that company that the board intended to order the bridge raised

Kand suggest) tbat it open negotiations with thei C. and O. for the purpose of j 'entering, into some arrangement for meeting Uhe expense of the improvement. j Tomorrow a contract will be let for the pavinglof Main street from Fourth street to the river bridge, and this im(provement, Mr. Bavis declares, will (be made on an established street igrade, elimtoatlng the depression in Ithe roadway under the railroad bridge jmade by the traction company some

iyears ago to permit its cars to pass Sunder 'the bridge. He said he did not

know whether the company would seek to enjoin the city from paving the street on the established grade, because such action would prevent

! traction cars from operating under

the railroad bridge. City Attorney Bond was. not in the city to advise on this point, but Mr. Bavis declared his belief that the city , had the right to pave the street on the established

grade. Doubts City's Power.

Mr. iBooth in discussing raising the

fbridge pointed out that it had been

constructed on a grade established by

a former city attorney, intimating that

ecause of this fact the city would

ave noauthority to require the com

pany to change the grade of the

bridge.

City Engineer Charles said the

I grade for this bridge had been established1 before the day of traction cars, ;but none of the city officials suggested to Mr. Booth that the courts might i uphold. the city if it sought to compel ithe traction and railroad companies tto raise the bridge on the ground that et'its present grade it interfered with the making of a necessary public im

provement.- On the other hand it was suggested to Mr. Booth that, because the railroad company was not directly benefited by the proposed bridge elevation, it might be entitled to damages instead of being assessed for benefits. Witling to Confer. Mr. Booth - expressed a willingness to confer with the traction people regarding the elevation of the bridge, and the city officials hope that the traction company will be compelled tr nntcr Into negotiations with the C.

and O. by the ordering of the paving of Main street on the established grade. Last fall G. K. Jeffries, of the T. H.. I. and E. promised the former board In onnfor with thn C. and O. an this

question, but Mr. Booth said today

that Jeffries naa never aone so. Tn ttatlmatinf? ttan PinensR of ele

vating the railroad bridge! the cost of changing the grade of the brewery switch was figured in. Mr. Booth declared that if the grade was changed coal would have to be dumped into manholes in the roof of the brewery. The switch cannot be removed under the company's contract. ELEVEN LOSE LIVES IN STRIKE BATTLE (BULLETIN.) TRINIDAD, Colo., April 29. The most desperate battle of the shocking warfare between strikers and mine guards that has been going on for months, was fought today at Forbes camp, resulting in the death of at least eleven persons. Seven ot the bodies found were so badly burned as to be unrecognizable. The strikers took up positions on the hill commanding the Forbes camp before daylight and began pouring in a murderous fire. The mine guard replied with a machine gun. This weapon soon became worthless from

heat and the strikers stormed the town, carrying everything before them. When the strikers reached the mine buildings in the camp they set fire to them, the flames rapidly spreading.

USES MAN'S FACE AS PUNCHING BAG

Ollie Hayden, colored, yesterday received a beating at the hands of Sam Jones, a white man. and a fine of $1 and costs from Mayor Robbins today on a charge of assault and battery. Jones while walking on South Sixth street passed several colored men. For some reason Hayden took offense and struck Jones. Then Jones used Hayden's face as a punching bag.

Look in Our Windows rninn an iriiTnn aairirw

fcKiHTstivice) IS lllNlILL WVLL11 Look in the windows as yon pass our store and see the demonstration of KINDEL Bed Davenports and Divanettes. No one who sees this demonstration can fail to recognize how great a convenience a KINDEL is in any home how handsome and effective it is as a piece of day-time furniture; how comfortable and satisfactory it is as a bed by night. You could not buy a handsomer davenport or divan for the price, and in its day-time use no one would know that it was convertible into a bed at night. We've sold so many KINDELS during this week's demonstration that -even at the reduced prices we are offering it has been a very successful sale financially, as well as from a sailing standpoint. Reduced Prices This Week Only Next week the price will be the same as usual. Come now while the demonstration is in progress and you can save money. Three distinct styles and a great variety of different upholstering.

The Kindel Somer-

saultic. This type of Kindel does what no otiier convertible davenport on the market has yet achieved. It combines three separate and distinct articles of furniture in one: A handsome, wellproportioned, comfortable davenport. A luxurious, full-sized bed. A handy wardrobe all the time. Its operation is simple and easy, the back coming forward and over the seat, automatically reversing the cushions, disclosing bedding in place. It Is not necessary to remove from the wall to convert into a bed. It is made? in any variety of designs and finishes to suit a diversity of tastes and requirements.

The Kindel Divanette. The Kindel De Lux.

The Kindel Divanette (occupying but feet of wall space) is made especially for smaller space requireemnts. It is very simple and easy to convert into a bed. Slip the hand between the Beat and back and raise the back which automatically locks, then draw out bed in one simple movement. This presents the bed with bedding, and even the pillows in place. Now lower back and place pillows against it if desired In appearance the Kindel Divanette is unusually good looking. It is comfortable, back having proper siope and seat proper depth and height from the floor. And It gives no indication in its day-time use of its possibilities as a bed.

This type of Kindel is made on the same good lines, proportions and in the same designs as the Kindel Divanette but with a slightly different method of operation. It ie full six feet between the arms and it operates by raising the back (as in the Divanette) and lifting the seat up and out, presenting a full-sized bed, comfortable and ready for use, with bedding and mattress in place. Mattress and bedding are held securely in place, without strap devices, by a perfected holder. It is equipped with a resilient, long-lasting spring fabric similar to that use in the Divanette. In Its day-time use, like the other types of the Kindel kind, it absolutely conceals its double purpose.

Make your choice now while the showing is complete and be sure to come this week KINDEL week while the sale prices are in effect.
