One of the largest crowds that ever
listened to the interesting proceedings
at the court of Alderman Lowry as
sembled when Phoebe LestenatOr, of

the larceny of ring, preferred by Mrs.
Louise Haley. When Constable Gilby
arrested the fair defendant she had
the ring on her finger, but denied steal
ing it. She said that she had tradeu
with Mrs. Healy for another. Her evil
dence was not convincing to the Sixth

fence. He was making OUT the order
for lodging at the county hotel when
the defendant relentcd, returned the
ring and paid the costs.

THE ALUMNI.
They Elect Officers and Decide to
Give u Banquet.

The High School alumni have unani-
mously elected the following officers:
President, Charles Curtis; -presl-
dent, Robert Stanley Rettew; secretary
and treasurer, Miss Emma McLaugh-
lin. Following the election of officers
committee was appointed to prepare
.olutors of coincidence to the fami-
lies of the late Bertha Dewitt and
Anna Gerrity. The question as to
whether or not the annual banquet be
done away with and some other
method of reunion be adopted, came
up for discussion and it was finally
carried unanimously that the banquet
be held as usual and that a commit
tee having full power to act in the
matter be appointed by the president.
The event bids fair to be one of un-
usual enjoyment as extensive prepara .
tions are already under way to make
it the greatest affair of the kline ever
given in this city.
