of the most noticeable changes which has
been made in the car is the piping it for

This change will probably be greatly ap-
preciated by the postal clerks as it will
not only afford them much better light to

Chrlstiansen Will Be Let OFF If He Mends
His Ways.

Frank Fl. Christensen, the boy who
stole grain from Mr.. John Trefethen in
whose store he was employed, was brought
before Judge Robinson. Mr.. Trefethen
testified that he had always considered
Frank good boy and he was willing to
drop the matter. Frank himself admitted
that he had got into bad company, and
sold the grain to get money to go to good
theatres, not cheap ones He said his
father had always been kind to him.
Judge Robinson commended Mr..
Christensen for bringing the boy to the
authorities and wished other fathers
would do the same when their boys went
wrong. The case was continued for
sentence until December 81. If the 10y
mends his ways he will probably be let
on, otherwise he will go to Jail or the
Reform school.
