There is considerable speculation among
the residents of Washington street to-day
as to the manner III which Michael Glea-
son lost his big roll of bills. Mr. Gleason
is farm hand and came to town the
other day to visit some friends. YeSter-
day he started out to enjoy himself and
leaving his watch in charge of friend ac-
cepted an invitation from man to call
into well known resort below the Buckle
shop. It is alleged that the man was
under the influence of liquor at the time
and had in his possession about $40 or
$50, all of which was missing when he
came to his senses. 1t is said that Gleason
knows the man who induced him to enter
the place and believes that it is this same
person who stole his money. His watch
was returned by the man 10 whom it had
been given. Yesterday he could boast of
good fat pocketbook and whoop them up
for the boys, but to-day the boys say he is
no good.
The board of finance last night voted to

ONeill. amounting to 1892 so for prosecut-

Burpee having given his opinion that the
bills were just ones and ought to be paid.
Attorney O'Neill was present and in an
swer to some leading questions put by the
mayor and Alderman Gregory, said that it
would cost the city as much to prosecute
violatOrs of the sidewalk law criminally as
civilly, but that a civil action meant extra
fees for himself and that is why he pro-
ceeded on this line. City Clerk Grady re-
ported that DR. Robbins was not satisfied
to allow the city a reduction of S23 60 on
his bill, for cash, as provided on the printed
heading on which the bill was presented
Ia 1E h. Al a.,

tion on this bill and the bill of the health
