Last Tuesday g warrant was issued
for the arrest of Governor Waite of

keeping letter adore ssed to Mrs. Sadie
Likens, police matron, and we'll known
in this city. President Dennis Mullen,
president of the police board, Fl. Arm
strong, chief of police, and Kate Dryer
who was made police matron in Mrs.
Likens' place, are all in the same boat
with the governor. Waite got as red
hot mad as usual when the warrant
was read to him. He would not recog-
nize the u S. Attorney. whose duty it
is to prosecute the case and he refused
to furnish bail. His agreement to be
present for trial when the case is called

get awful mad but it is hard matter
for him to run away. We will watch
for the outcome of this affair

Barber put in bid at the time just $50
higher and was glad he did not get it.

inch hewed oak logs for joists and over
that thick layer of heavy stones is
laid. many of them so large that they
have to be broken in several pieces be-
fore they can be thrown off. 1t is quite
evident that if prisoner ever tried to
get out of that jail by way of the roof,
would succeed in MASKING himself
