rather unusual accident occurred on Ran

morning. An unknown man went into the
lunch cart of William Nechenton, and after
buying lunch started TO come 60wn the steps

THEORY DID NOT WORK
There were some gentlemen connected
with the Second police station that enjoyed
a duck dinner today, but the one that did
NE most of the work in getting the ducks
ready did not enjoy the eating OF them.
There IL quite story about the ducks, but
II doesn't effect the payment for them, for
the strongest backed gold bug could not OBJ
,ect 10 the money paid for the transfer Of
the property in the ducks. The story relates
70 the killing of them. As there is very
strong prejudice in the neighborhOol Of tho
station against buying such articles as ducks
cead. and not to offend local prejudices. the
officers bought their game alive. one officer
who doesn't generally say he can do a thing
and not prove able TO do il when put to the
vest. had pet theory about killing ducks.
The thsory was all right as theory, tut it
did not hurt the ducks much, nor prevent
their chances OF reaching the time limit FIR
such creatures. After an hour 5 futile effort.
the purchasers Of the ducks sent for a
butcher.
NORTH END NOTES.
Boys residing In the vicinity OF Randall
street, where the new sewer is being built,
have more fun playing around it NJ night
than they could find in dozen regulation
play grounds. The games played there havo
ihe fascination Of danger so attractive 60 the
boys, bat 80 disagreeable to parents. Tho
boys lay about the little wood fire. and all
their dreams Of life in the Klundike are
realized.
Two bcyclists who rode over Randall
suare just after the watering cart had had
its innings were thrown from their bikes
One was young woman, wto though she
was not injured by the fall, looked as 10 she
wished % speak her mind. She dill not in.
