Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by .
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts. two Of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler 3
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize OF.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as q further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Nj.
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world il

Imnersonated the Sheriff.

Police Officer H. e. Hansen arrested
two railroad men by the names of H.
Ferguson and Thomas Hobbs yesterday
on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The prisoners were
brought to the city jail and soon after
turned over to Sheriff Belnap for further
disposal.
1t seems the men become rather short of
collateral and while out in the vicinity Of
Harrisville, CHANGED to meet couple of
dago peddlers. One of the fellows repre-
sented himself to the travelling novelty
stores as the sheriff Of the county, and
told them that it was necessary for them
to have a license to peddle goods in the
county, and warned them that if they did
net pay the regular license fee which was
represented as being 50 for each, he would
take them into the county jail. The
dagoes thereupon dug up sc from their
Jeans and were told to come to the city and
the license would be issued to them, but
on their way they told their story to
Officer Hansen who soon had the guilty
parties under arrest.
The prisoners were arraigned before
Judge Bishop, and bound over to await a
hearing at 2 o'clock to- day. Unable to
procure the necessary security, they were
rugged.

that district except in limestone, and this
limestone formation is about two hundred
feet east of the Red Bird shaft. All the
ground from the west line of the TOWNSHIP
to the east line of the same is of the same
general character and is non-mineral.

name.
| Odd any one connected with you ever
discover mineral on the Home Rule:
Ayes, my son did, L believe, In 1889.
| Q.-You thought enough OF this ind to
put up notice of location!
| A.-No did not. | swear that | never
put up location notice on that part of the
ground. l put up a location notice about
mile south from there. | don't know the
claim now. l suppose it is owned by John
McChrystal now. | don't know the boun-
dairy lines of the different claims, as l
never paid any attention to them.
Q.-Do you know the corner that defines
the townsite application!
| A.-No, sir.
| Q.-Do you know how many acres there
are embraced in the application?
Al do not know how many acres.
Q.-What was your examination of the

there was no property between the surface
workings and the 500-foot level?
