"Cholly" Jones has evidently been taking
lessons from some OF the local detecti res
and ID anxious to make Vidocquian repu-
tation equal te their own. The excellent

which has produced BIackstones, Whartons,

and often more lucrative occupation of
furnishing missing links in chains of evi.
dence and, while adding to his supply OIL

v:lliany. "Cholly should, however. cease in
his efforts to win fame and shekels by try
ing to secure affidavits for the Republican
central committee OF Silver Bow county, |
Tor the business l. nos only fraught with |
much disagreeable and hard work, but is
also full OF disappointments and withered |
anticipations. Should he persist, though.
IL might perhaps be advisable for him to /
change his tactics, especially when trying

which tunnels are being built. By doing go
