Mayor Knox and City Electrician

ment to residents in the vicinity of
Twelfth stree. and Ninth and Tenth
avenues yesterday afternoon. They
drove out there to place barricade
combining teams to the street, in
stead OF driving around by the side
walk. as they have been in the habit
of doing, but when they completed
the work they found they had DELHI
erately fenced themselves and their
own rig in, and they were obliged to
remove a portion of the fence to get
out. They took the situation good
naturally. however.
A surprise of the most agreeable
kind was in store for Harry Wick
man on his arrival home last even
ing. 1t was his birthday and about
twenty young friends invaded the
house, making things very lively
until the vice. small hours of the
morning. AS substantial token of
their friendship they left very fine

gators of this invasion were Mr.. and
Mrs. S. S. Hull, Misses Mollie and
Clara Meyers, Mr.. aud Mrs. Daniel

Betrayed His Friend for Money.

The people of Muscatine, generally,
have not great amount of sympathy
with W. II. johnson, in Jail there for
| peculation committed while he was
county auditor, and awaiting a com.
ing trial. but that which they now
| entertain is two-fold what it was be-
fore the manner in which his capture
was effected became known. John
son was met and recognized in Hon
olulu by a young man named Lane.
a resident of Muscatine, and a good
friend of his in former days. Mrs.
Johnson's mother had practically
mothered this young man when he
was small boy, and he was under
obligations to her and to her husband,
as most of the Muscatine people look
at the matter. johnson, it is
claimed, talked with Lane of his
affair. and told him that he was try
ing to get straight SO as to square
matters, and secured from him a
promise not to betray his wherea-
bouts. But Lanes father quickened
his cupidity with the suggestion that
he would be n fool not to 90 in and
win the $500 reward offered for the
arrest of johnson. or informant ton
leading to it. The young man at
first refused, it is said, and then cast
has promises behind him and went
after the reward. He gave the in
formation that led to Johnson's ar
rest. The Muscatine people who
condemn johnson for his crooked
work while in office and who have no
defense to make for him are quite
warm. in many cases. in their castiga-
ton of Lane for his betrayal of the
man to whom he gave a solemn
promise. and to whose family he was
under obligations. What makes the
matter still more interesting is the
suggestion that there is a hitch in
the payment of the reward, and that
it may not be forthcoming after all.
Beyond this are serious doubts that
johnson will be convicted. The
technicalities Of the law seem to give
him all the chance and the state lit
tie or none.
