who is the man we have here in jail?n
The mystery thrown around the prisoner

Open.
Burnett's barber shop, under the Grand
Central hotel, was open yesterday. The
distribution of the circulars Saturday in
front of the place announcing that it had
been boycotted by the Trades and Labor
assembly had tho effect of keeping some
persons from visiting the shop during the
day. Late Saturday night the sidewalks,
telegraph and electric light poles and con-
venient walls and fences in all parts of the
city had notices posted on them giving the
information that the shop was still under
the ban of the assembly. A regular meet
ing of the assembly was held yesterday but
nothing WAS done regarding the boycott,
matters being left as they are. The princi-
pal business before the assembly was the
discussion of some contemplated revisions
in the charter of the organization. Another
barber shop was opened yesterday under
the Hotel Helena, but so far no action has
been taken in this case by the assembly.
