Council Proceedings-
The council met in regular session
last night and transacted considerable
new and unfinished business.
A petition was presented by the
I.ahman-Keiser ice company asking to
have water turned on for fire purposes
only. The matter was referred to the
city attorney to be investigated as to
whether the city had a right legally to
turn on wat-r outside the corporate
limits of the city, the ice plant as it
stands being thus located.
The clerk was ordered to shut oft all
water from hydrants and water troughs
excepting hotels and the laundry, un-
til sufficient rain bad fallen to increase
the supply.
Vending A Co. presented a petition
asking to have their barn remain with-
in the lire limits the same having been
erected since the passage of the fire
limit ordinance. Petition was reject-
ed and the marshal was instructed to
have all such frame buildings removed
which have been erected since the
passage of the ordinance relating to
such buildings within lire limits.
-Marsha! gave a verbal report to the
effect that owing to the fact that he
was taking his time from oilier duties
when collecting dog tax and disposing
of such dogs as have not had their tax

purpose. Council did not accept re-
|K>rt but stated that such work was a
part of his duties and lie would be re-
quired to door see that same be done
as a part of his duties.

of absence for two weeks to go to land
office and file on a fai in.

ties and assets of the city and to inves-
tigate the cost of putting the light

ROBBERY AND COWARDICE.
As The Washington Post Sees It
—Regarding a Texas
Holdup.
I ndcr the caption of "Cowards Who
I ravel" the Washington Post has a
withering editorial rebuke of men who
sit passively in a railway train and per-
mit robbers to loot the express car
and hold up the passengers. The Post
refers specifically to a robbery near
Dennison Tex., which it regards as
particulary humiliating from the fact
that the men in the coaches had notic-
ed that, it was a hold-up several min-
utes before the bandits appeared
among them. " We should like to have
a good look at that crew and taose
passengers," says the Post. 'Eevry
one of the w hole chicken-hearted lot
knew what was going on, what to ex-
pect, and, if he possessed one grain of
manhood, how to baffle and defeat the
brigands. Nothing could have been
simpler. One half-way courageous

man at each car door could have killed
anybody endeavoring to enter, and this
without the slightest danger to him-
self. We should really like to examine
that assemblage, one after another in
detail."
It does look rather cowardly for a
t ainload of passengers half of them
men, to remain in their seats and per-
mit five brigands to take up a gunny-
sack collection of all the valuables
abroad—especially when the viewpoint
i* several thou*and miles distant. Yet
if our disgusted Washington contem-
porary could have its wish and "ex-
amine that assemblage in detail" it
would probably find some fairly brave
men among the number—men with
whom it would be hazardous business
to raise a serious quarrel. Wonder is
frequently eicited by the failure of
passengers to resist the attacks of train
robbeis, but not among those who hap-
pen to be on the train at the time. In
the first place, the railway passenger
usually is not armed. If he has a
pistol in his valise he probably is not
skilled in its use or is out of practice.
In a duel with a desperate robber or
robbers he would be at a disadvantage
and he knows it. lu most instances he
is traveling alone, or is accompanied
bv women who at such a time are only
a handicap. He may Lave made some
causal acquaintances among the other
male passengers, but he does not know-
how they would act if be should open
fin* on the bandits. They might per-
mit him to go it alone and sacrifice
himrelf in short order. Nor does he
know what the odds are—there may be
three or tour bandits or there may be
two dozen. It is a risky business, any-
way, to start a shotting match in a
crowded coach, containing many wo-
men and children. And last, but not
least, the passenger does not regard
himself as a train guard, underobliga-
tion to risk bis own life and the lives
of others to save the express com-
pany's safe and the valuables of lellow
passengers. He is a traveler and has
paid for his ride, and should have it
with as much security and comfort as
the railway company can afford him.
This is not the heroic course, to be
sure, but it is the safe course and, ex-
cept in certain eases, the wise one.
Sometimes there happen to be men
abroad who are accustomcd to danger,
are experts in the use of a pistol, are
well armed and enjoy the excitement
of an encounter. Where there are
several such men together they may
be justified in resisting attack. Poss.
bly if all men were us bold and intrepid
from as the editor of the esteemed Post
there would be no successful train rob-
beries, but there are only a few such
noble souls among the multitudes who
traverse the country iu chair cars and
Pullmans. It is noteworthy in this
connection that tho loss of life i* very
rare under the "cowardly" cyatem of
non-resistance that preavils o general-
ly—an item certainly worth consider-
ing.
