"Cheaper.' .

1t is frequently said Of other
makes of wagons that they are
"cheaper" than the Old Hickory,
old Hickory is the standard, and
there can only be one "Old Hicko-
ry." But are the others cheaper9
Don't take the word of anyone for
it. Come and examine them your
self. Other makes to be cheaper
must be "just as good" Are they?
Price is something, but quality is
more. Now, it's easy TO decide
are they cheaper?

with as much accuracy as possible-giv-
ing population of the country from which
the delegates come and in which the
league is located; that is. the total num-
Der or men. women and children of the

flee be necessary. to attend the sessions
Of this congress if possible. We are am
bilious to fill places of honor and trust,
and this should be coupled with the fac
ulty to administer public affairs. Our
people deserve some recognition polit-
cally and we must by numbers and
united effort demand that we shall not
be overlooked in the future as we have
been in the past.

THAT ALLEGED HOLD.UP
A Wild and WoolIy Tale Based Upon q Slim
Foundation

Investigation into the story of the al
legged hold-up and robbery of the motor
fouS Madam Lottie Van out on West
washington street last Friday night,
seems to demonstrate that the whole
thing is a cookedup fake and the prod
uct of liquor r-befuddled Imagination,
with but slight foundation in fact. From
appearances the whole thing was con-
cOcted In order that the cab driver,
Charles Turney, might have an excuse
for recklessly running into and smash
ing the buggy with which he collided
when near the Rosedale cemetery.
N. X. Lusk, who employed Turney as
driver, had warned the latter that the
next time he got drunk he should lose
his position. Turney drove the woman
out to several notorious resorts, and
when the pair started home both were
bowling drunk. AS they left Mondon-
vile an acquaintance of Turney's, no
ticing his condition, remarked that he
should follow the cab, as he was sure
from the recklessness with which Tur-
ney drove that some accident would
happen. He departed on horseback and
did follow the rig until the smash-up
occurred. This is the whole foundation
for the mounted and masked robber part
OF the gauZy tale.
When the cab collided with the buggy
In the confusion Madam Van lost her
pocketbook, the handle not being left
In her hand where it had been snatched
away, and was too full to know where
IT went to- There was no such sum as
$500 In it, probably little. over s1OO. If that
much. The party whom they ran down
saw no robbers. but merely a drunken
jehu lashing his horses and tearing
down the road on the run. This man
lives about nine miles from the city,
just this side of Sentous Bros abat-
tOir.
The matter was not reported to the
police for the very good reason that
there was nothing to report Taking the
accounts as published as a basis, De-
tective Benedict tried to probe the story,
but soon found the flimsy foundation
of fact in a mountain of fancy. Turney
was discharged by Mr.. Lusk and
Madam Van will say nothing. Thus is
the ghost of gauzy tale laid and the
facts presented

GOZE BACK TO CHINO
Constable Newman Comes After Gomez and
Martinez

Constable o. j. Newman from Chino
arrived in the city yesterday to take
back to that city the two MeXicans. Jose
Gomez and Jesus Martinez. who robbed
the general store of Slusher & Merrill in
Chino last Monday night. The men
smashed large pane of glass in the
front window and made way with some
jewelry, clothing, hats, shoes, etc. Of
ficer Talamantes captured them in So
noratown, and when searched at the
station they had lot of the plunder
upon them.
One of them had on four stolen shirts
and three pairs of pants, the other a
pair of shoes, while both wore sombreros
that were a part of the booty secured
from the store. Upon Martinez was
found large amount of the jewelry and
more has been located at various places
where it was sold.
The officers have a perfectly clear case
and in fact the men have admitted that
they burglarized the store Newman
took his prisoners back yesterday after
noon.

Commerce and Protection

It is not probable that Mr.. Smallev or

that American commerce on the high
seas has steadily decreased in propor-

Rave injected into our tariff schedules.
They are too much enamored with the
sage OF Canton and prospective tenant
of the White House. But II is q hard
incontrovertible fact that our merchan.
marine has decreased in tonnage and
