performance at the theatre on April 10
The money $50, is up in the hands OF
Chief Clerk Taylor of the Templeton no
tel and Ross and Ford have gone into
training.
An inkling of the affair got out last
night. 1t was bound to come because OF
the peculiar actions of Ross at the hote
for the past two days. He is stan
boarder there, and has many friends
who are solicitous of the young mans

would have done the trick had the fight
