BELLAIRE.

Constable MiHamyer, of Smith town
ship, was in the city over night, looking
for young Harry Bower, who robbed
Charles Wilson, the butcher, at Glen
coe. The particulars of the crime show
Bower to be daring robber. He was
riding with Wilson in the butcher
wagon In broad daylight. When Will
son reached his hand outside to draw
the rubber bar, Bower grabbed the
pouch containing S35 or more, jumped
out OF the wagon and ran away. Will
son pursued him short distance until
he dropped the pouch after taking out
the money. The constable found
Bower at picnic Saturday evening.
When he noticed the officer he started
10 run and in jumping over fence ran
big splinter under his knee cap.
While the wound was being dressed at
his home he escaped the officer and has
since evaded arrest.
There was quite row in the Fourth
ward Monday evening, growing out OF
dispute as to whether lady had paid
her fare on the street car. A change
of conductors caused the dispute. Con-
1uctor Riley talked indiscreetly to Mrs.
Vim. LaRoche and, repenting OF his
folly, went to Mr.. LaRoche to apologize.
The apology did not suit Mr.. LaRoche
and he proceeded to pummel Riley,
when the latter drew a knife and cut
several gashes on LaRoche's arm before
the two were separated.
The Belmont Savings and Loan Com
pany has declared an annual dividend OF
| 3 per cent. on its running stock and 3
per cent. on the paid up shares, and
added over 81 500 to the surplus fund.
This certainly is gratifying statement
for this dull period, and will make the
Belmont more popular than ever as
solid, money-saving institution.
Quite a number of invitations have
been sent out by the Mercantile Club
for the reception TO be given Mr.. and
