meets with general favor. The dials will

Co., and each will consist of one piece
complete. They will cost in the neighbor
hood of $210, and when put in it is expect
ed that the clock be seen from a con-
siderab BILE distance at night. One lamp will
be placed behind each dial. =
Some rascal cut Carl Aldrich's bicycle
tire Thursday evening between 7:3O and
9 o'clock, while the wheel was standing in
front of his store, and the tire was ruined.
The tire had been lifted from the felley
and the knife inserted SO that the cut
would not be noticed from the outside.
Mr.. Aldrich has been fortunate in finding
out who did the damage and promises to
bring prosecution unless the young man
presents himself and renumerates Mr..
AIdrich for the costof new tire.
