the receipts of his days labor. Realizing
that the men meant to rob him. the
driver applied the whip to his team in
the hope of circumventing them. The
horses, which were being held by the
robbers, dashed madly along the road,
dragging the robbers after them. Find
ing that they could not stop the team
they relinquished their hold on the
horses. The driver, fearing that they
would attempt to shoot him, continued
to ply his whip upon the horses until the
works was reached.
The driver hurriedly told his fellow
workers of what had happened and a
posse was at once organized to pursue the
masked robbers They quickly repaired
to the scene OF the attempted hold-up,
but were unable to find a trace of the
men.
Word was sent to police headquarters
and several officers were dispatched to
assist in rounding UP the desperate pair.
After long search one of the pursuers
found a slouch hat which is supposed to
have been dropped by the robbers.

The Merchants Association Is an or
ganization OF the most extensive business
men IN the city, with membership on
the first OF the present month OF 1907.
Bankers, merchants, brokers, architects,
accountants, manufacturers, druggists,
commission merchants. clothiers, con-
tractors. capitalists. jewelers., maohinists,
printers. real estate dealers, hotel men,
theater managers, shipping men, and. in
fact, every branch OF industry and COM
merce comprise It's membership. While
the association takes an active interest
in the welfare and advancement of the
city, political matters such as the fur
thcring of the ambitions Of any man,
men or party. are prohibited by the con-
stItution. Men OF every political faith
are numbered among It's members, adher-
ents OF the two great parties being about
equally divided with, possibly, Repubh-
cans predominating to a limited extent.
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. Phelan
and his political workers have ssen ht

citation in the Mayors interest. That this
has been done with the knowledge or con-
sent Of the association, or with its ap-

has never in any manner officially in

tion 10 the use of its name In any such
manner. Moreover, few II any of the
