Jeremiah Postles, colored, who is con-
fined at the police station on the charge
of harboring girl under Is years old
for immoral purposes, will receive the
unenviable distinction of having TO wait
for his trial longer than any prisoner

Buslness nun with the Ambulancs

Wilson's ambulance van has only had
one call this year, and that was false
alarm The young man who has charge
Of the van and the horses, states that it
is a little remarkable that they have not
been out oftener, because there has been
so much muddy weather. His experience
has evidently taught him that more acct
dents happen in stormy weather than on
clear days. He has had it impressed upon
him by the fact that nearly every time he
has been called cut the wagon has needed
a careful washing afterwards.
