girls from bean-town are good dodgers
and that they will not fly out to the
home people without a deal of trouble
The pitcher, Maud Nelson, is said to be
thoroughly proficient in all the known

The contractors for the new water

tended that the levee is a private one

There have been for the past year a

some time past, with the result that
yesterday person was arersted on sus-

F rom Messrs. F. L. Taylor. =. Y T. Knox
 and Fred Fox

Onlast Monday afternoon, April eth. about o'clock, We, having heard the rumor current upon the streets that Mr. T. B. Atkinson had pledged, in the event of his election to the office of Mayor, 10 appoint Mr. Alex IeEaurin to the position of Chief of the Police Department, and Mir. Lew Owen to the position of Uhief of the Fire Dpparimant, called upon Mr. Atkinson at his place of business for an exploration. He at once denounced Che rumor and said it was not true. Mr. Atkinson also stated to fhe committee that they could say fer him to the public that he would appoint only such men as Che business men and pdblic at large would approve Then Nr. Fox put this question to Mir Atkinson In case you are elected, will you prom ise Us that you will not appoint AIessrs. LeLaurin and 0wen?' Mir. Atkinson replied: ''Fred. you have gone one step too far. Inasmuch as I have not made any pledges, now you are requiring one. l think it would iniure me to answer that question either way, as it would have a tendency to array one ele- ment against another, both of whom are now my friends politically, but rest assured that l will appoint only such men us the public will ap- prove" Mr. Atkinson further stated that Mir. LeLaurin had never asked for any appt lntment, nor had any one else asked for him. that some friends had asked for the Chief of Police for MT. Owen. which request he refused to entertain. He said he had made his campa ign upon a high plane and was not inclined to make pledges to any body, and that, il elected, it wousd be his pride to give the best administration possible to the people,
