Henry Elvin. who keeps a saloon on
Main street. near the water front, is con-
sidered one of the bravest men of the
'bilge-water district" but he is only hu-
man and has an aversion to dynamite.
Yesterday morning an unsoDhisticated
and wholly innocent steward of a vessel
lying in the stream came ashore with his
luggage. and not having any place 10 keep
his earthly possessions while he looked
for suitable lodgings told the express man
TO leave the trunk at Elvin's.
Henry. had just finished reading the ac-
count Of the Main-street explosion in THE
CALL and had given orders to his bar
keeper to turn in an alarm il any water

Henry, reaching for a beer mallet. "We've
had dynamite enough along the front. /
dent intend to take any more chances
The eXpTessman unloaded the trunk on
the sidewak, and Elvin disappeared be-
hind the bar. TIE harkeeepeI vanished
and faint feminine scream came from
the culinary department of the Elvin eS-
tablishment. For several hours the trunk
was the object of much comment and curl
Gus inspection by passers-by, till finally
its owner appeared and had it removed up
town.
