session. A resolution was passed endrs-
ing the Mckinley administration for its
conduct of the war and pointing with pride
to the many appointments he has made
among the AfroAmericans in the northern

tees, attorneys, etc. Tomorrow number

Another De Hay Adventure
The burglary which occurred at p-.
Laird's barn last evening appears, judg-
ing from subsequent developments, to have
been of more than usual interest. 1t leaked
out to-day that a deed of valor was per-
formed by Norman DELAY in an attempt to
capture the would-be burglar DELAY is
the hero of several small adventures, which
though not witnessed by any outsider,
nevertheless are remembered by him
DELAY was being treated for sunstroke
by DR.. Laird. Last night he went out to
the barn when a stranger dashed out and
took refuge in another out-bulding, shut
ting the door. The man would not cons
out when DELAY commanded himlto do so,
and then DELAY got an axe and proceeded
to knock in the door. The man dashed out
and disappeared over fence. At least this
is Delays story. 1t seems strange that Il
young man like DELAY In peaceful town
like Pasadena should have adventures and
sunstrokes, ETC., galore, while equally
good citizens exist year in and year out
without a break in the monotony of their
lives.
