the Fair GrouDds this Week.

the Fair Grounds this week.

removed 10 the fair grounds rs leading ut
traction was discounted yesterday bJ

Frank Stevens. Jonn Braddock, David
Roach. Philip Mayer and John Livingston ar
rived yesterday morning on freight tram.

crooks and they pulled out cards enough 20
show that they were entitled 70 Jay Gould'
private car. but still they came IN on freight,
and when the train arrived they were securely
sealed in with boxes Of starch, soap and
canned fruit. They evidently came 10 the
Fair. and Il was as difficult 20 tell them from
crooks as il was 20 distinguish between the
different branches Of MethOdlsts at the Ecu
menical Conference. The town is gathering
a right good contingent of uspiciouslooking
citizens and these were warned to leave town
