,od the officers that he had been let

rather die than say anything more
when asked if this was the first time
that Arnel had let him out of Jail.
While Gambler was lying apparently
in \ stupor Arnell approached and at.

prevented from doing 60 by force. Can

By the police officer and City Sergeant
Smith. who had arrived on the scene.
The prisoner was securely locked in his
old quarter. The City Sergeant imme.

service at the Jail. Gambler, when
found pretended that he had been hit
and knocked senseless. He swooned
and fell to the floor as if dead. He was
dragged down the steps into the main
hallway of the Jail, where he lay fully
ten minutes without saying a word.
When he finally revived he said: 81 was

Sergeant Smiths theory is that Arnell

and both men becoming drunk they
caused all the excitement. Several
hundred people were attracted around
the Jail while the excitement lasted.

1t is a waste of time to talk
about these Waists, and we
wouldn't have a word to say if
you would know of their pres
ence here without.
We can't tell half the story.
The Waists are better than
words and more convincing.
You will agree with us when
you see them.
If you want the sweetest
Waists in town see these, A
distinction and a difference.
Our Shirt Waists are distinctly
different from Shirt Waists as
you commonly meet them; a
triAe finer, a little heater, a
slight difference in the form,
sleeves hang little better,
collar fits a little better. All
of these differences are in our
favor. Each a triAe in itself,
mikes a big difference in the
waists, however.
You will admit il when Won
purchase one of ours at ACC,
JAG, Soc or csc. We have al
so a nice line of all kinds of
Silk in waist patterns from $50
per yard upwards,
