in Il contest OF vessels Of her class, lost

Sunday afternoon she ran against the
Evelyn g., Rem Pattersons new yacht ,
over ten mile course in our bay and
was beaten mile. coming but about
90 minutes behind her lively little
competitor.

trict attorney, and Miss Goldie Rob

Because little Oily anticipated that
there would he some work done in
grubbing out the walks on the park and
courthouse grounds, some time ago,
and suggested that it be done, he now
grows wild with excitement that the
man with the hoe has made his APP
pearance, and has claimed time and
again that it was his giant brain which
set oil the train that has led to such
gratifying results. 1t is amusing how
readily Il child's rattle amuses baby!
Tug" Wilson has hung up Ebony"
Wolfe's reward for informing on the
forger Evans. 1t seems that Wolfe
owes Wilson Il balance on goods"
sold him (said goods" consisting pre-
sumably of whisky and rent OF side
pocket clothing store on Fourth street,
near the Office saloon. Attachment
proceedings were instituted, and few
days ago Sheriff Billings armed with
authority to attach anything belong
ing to Wolfe, in sight, visited the State
Auditors office and finding the iden-
teal warrant made out in due form
for " Tony's" reward lying temptingly
on the official desk, he pounced upon
it and carried it away despite the pro-
test of the Auditor. Just how this
could be done without collision be-
tween those officers it it is difficult TO
determine, for it is conceded that State
moneys cannot be garnished for debt,
and unless indeed Oly's suggestion that
an effort be made to "eucEre" Tony
out of his money has been seriously
considered and adopted as cour of
action by those charged to forward the
ends OF justice by lawful means.
Freeman p. Lane is a man who, it
is said, makes living out of running
Il bunco game on saloon men. He
represents himself as an attorney for
the Wine and Spirits Traders Society
of the United States and engaged in
preventing the sale OF spurious or coun-
terfeit goods. This is all he has to go
on, but strange to say he occasionally
makes it work even on class of men
who generally have their teeth cut.
The other day Mr.. Freeman p. Lane
walked in on a prominent dealer in
spiritual comforts of this city and
claimed that he had discovered bogus
liquors passing over the bar. The pro-
prietor afforded him an opportunity
for examining his stock, when he
finally sat aside a bottle of benedictine
which he claimed was of spurious
make. He then told his victim that
under federal law he was liable to a
fine of from $50 to $500, but that if he
did not squeal he would impose the
minimum amount of $50 and call it
square. This amount the victim paid
taking receipt therefor. Upon max
ing the discovery that he had been
buncOed, he looked up the Jeremy
Diddler and demanded his money and
the only reply he received was: "Now
don't get excited, you have my receipt.
Haven't you ever gone up against an
other mans game before" 1t turns
out that Lane tried his game on other
saloon-keepers and failed.
