waste their money in saloons, and was
spending it instead upon their wives and

1t was reported last week that Fred
Ford, one of Mills & Curtis employees,
was the driver of the team which run ov-
er John Mauch. Fred Indignantly de-
MES the accusation, and says that Mauch
was intoxicated and broke his leg by
falling in the street, and was at least fif-

accident occurred, as he can prove by
several witnesses. We are glad to hear
that Mauch has no one to blame for the
accident but himself and his unfortunate
habit.
