in company with Sam Solinsky, who
is himself possessed of wheels of
the same order.
What we are going to say about

as what a theatrical stage struck
thespian would call a "roast;" but
merely to show where young Kahn
got his inspirations 70 enter the
"play wright" field, which he did and
which in degree is meeting with
success.
Under the nom de plume of "Lee
Arthur" he has given to New York
theatre goers the play of "We
'Uns OF Tennessee" which is hav-
ing a run, and the Washington, D.
G. theatres, are playing his "Pri-
vate John Allen" to paying houses.
Mr.. Kahn was on his way to Shreve
port when he stopped off here to
see his friends and await a connect

Summer Comfort,

There is a constant demand for
gasoline stoves, Why? Because
the new gasoline stoves work per-
fectly, keep the kithen cool and
pleasant, and do away with the
bother of having wood and kiudling
around, But the chief reason is
on account of the cheapness Of
gasoline, as compared with other
fuel for cooking purposes.
by actual test it has been found
that four gallons of gasoline will 90
as far as 1000 feet of gas. Com

to get the money he knew the latter had.
He Ind hunted for q club, but not finding
.any, he had taken q railroad coupling pin
and struck Wurster over the head with it.
Then he struck him three more times, and
that made him a murderer. He said he

Df John Blivens, City Treasurer, was found
on Saturday at midnight in his office in the
City Hall. He had been brutally murdered.
Nj. Blivens had come down to his sons
mems furnishing store In order to try on
an overccat, which he had received as
christmas present from the city flremen
and which had been left at his sons store
TO be altered. The coat not being finished,
he stepped across the street to his office,
which is on the floor abovethe city lookup.
At 11.30 O'Clock Saturday night Lizzie,
daughter Of the Treasurer, called her
brother and asked him II it was not strange
that their father should be out so late.
Her brother went down the street to the
office. Lying across the floor In o pool OF
blood lay Mr.. Blivens just breathing his
last. The murderers had used some blunt
instrument. From the appearance OF tho
Office 1t is certain that Mr.. Bliven had
made hard fight for his life.
The prisoners in the city jail say they
heard scutf1e in the room above them
about $50 o'clock, but thought little Of it.
The purpose was evidently robbery, as
the safe was found broken open and Mr..
Bsivens's pockets were turned inside out.
when found Mr.. Blivens's head was partly
lying under the desk Of his office. Mr..
Blivens was seventy years old and had
been City Treasurer for fifteen years.
