The BOYS WILL SETTLE.
Forty OF Them Will Help Pay Tor the Wagon
Smashed in Recent Celebration

In the celebration of July 5th, some
of the ptriotic boys of Cushnoc Heights
and neighhorhood took possession of
wagon owned by a good citizen to use
in their sport. BY some means the
wagon was smashed to smithereens
and the aforesaid citizen was naturally
indignant, and placed the case in
Marshal Morse's hands.
Now the marshal knows about how
to deal with boys, 50 he went quietly
at work in the matter to ascertain who
were the guilty parties. His investiga-
ton covered much ground and resulted.
last evening in 40 lads of from to 20
years of age being lined up before him
1t his office.
The marshal talked to the boys for
few minutes, laying down the case in
such a way that in few minutes they
were glad to accept any terms he might
offer
1t was finally decided by the marshal
that if they would chip IN enough
apiece to pay the owner of the wagon
for the same, they might do so and he
would let the matter rest This they
decided to do.
A fair valuation of the wagon and a
little lightning calculation fixed the
share of each of tile 40 boys at 30 cents
and the way the most of them hustled
intoitheir pockets was a caution. Part
of them settled and the rest will next
pay day,
Marshal Morse did a good piece of
work in ferreting out the mischievous
boys and 50 easily effecting satisfac-
tory sctt lement.

LAWFUL MONEY
Must Be Omitted From Municipal
Bonds

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Moneyed
men all over the state are much exer-
cised over the recent decision in the ca Sc
OF F. w. Murphy VS.. the city of San
Luis Obispo rendered by the supreme
court. The opinion. written by Com
missioner Chapman, holds that the
words payable in gold coin, or lawful
money of the United States" were essen
tai and that a municipality or other
public corporation could not elect to leave
out the words ''or lawful money" and use
only gold coin of the United States" in
prescribing how the bonds should be re-
deemed. The effect of this decision will
De to prevent the sale of any municipal
bonds unless the decision be reversed or
until the law is amended. The reason
is that financial men and money lending
institutions will not pay gold for bonds
which may be redeemed in currency or
silver. The question has also been raised
regarding the legality of bonds issued
since 1893 in which the "or lawful money!
mas been omitted. A rehearing has been
granted and the supreme court, appre-
eating the importance of the matter
Will pass upon the question in bank.

that he would lend himself to anythin p
OF that sort. During the trip down
Kelly told him what Mrs, Craven wanted

Notary Cooney had already testified
that the certificates upon the deeds were
all right. Finally Aitken asked Kelly
py whom the deeds We're written. Wit
ness was not allowed to state this very
interesting part of the conversation. the
objection of counsel for Mrs. Craven
pelng sustained, but he was permitted IN
state that Kelly had urged him twenty
tlmes or more after that to get into the
case, promising him that if he did so he
would never be called upon to testify
as the matter would be settled out of

time. Toward the end Of the last weel,
the men went back in their work for mn
perceptible reason, but from The beeir~
ming of this week they have steadily
improved and they have done better
work than at any previous period of
their practice. Allowing for individual
eccentricities that exist in every crew

Mr.. Lehman has produced better FORM

"For my part 1 am in doubt whether

DIR. Peel says: "On bass Of physical
characteristics of men who make up
