 Before the second formal ballot was taken John w. Lane spoke for MT. Bushnell as young, energetic business man, who should be placed on the delegation. Attorney Julius | o.

 \ Genial Attorney Julius C.Cable was canght
 mapping last night and it it hadn't been for
 Officers Collett and Streit he would have
 spent the night upon the hard boards of his
 office floor. The heat of the afternoon and
 the ponderous weight of legal knowledge
 which is borne by grave disciples of the law
 were too much for the little lawyer and his
 mind sought rest in the flow of visions which
 sleep sets agoing. When he awoke it was
 after nine o'clock. Everything was dark
 and to his chagrin he found everybody had
 deserted the building and he was securely
 caged with lock and key. He telephoned to
 the police station and Officer Streit quickly | joined Officer Collett under the lawyers s \ InlI eo,- i-. os.-l~k
