club owes them S120 which should be ap-
piled upon the fence indebtedness. as was
agreed by r. A. Buckman, president of the
Athletic club. When Mr.. Buckman took

for the fence, and did so once or twice,
but since then no payments have been
made. Messrs. Halle and Faris now say
that they will put lock on the gate and

While it is regarded as desirable in the

congress last June that the document
should be ready for the senate at It's next
