Running the Gauntlet.

Some ingenious individuals have
conceived q novel idea in reaching the
other side of the river without paying
the necessary tolls. On traversing
partly across the bridge: and over the
water the miscreant being satisfied the
guard 'sattention IL attracted elsewhere,
quickly scales the bridge fence and
drops to the bank below, q distance OF
eight feet. There being much shrub
berry and brush in the immediate vi
cinity the individuals have no difficult
ty in eluding the vigilance of the SEN
tinel. The same mcdus operandt is
practiced in returning only thatsin the
backward trip the feat is performed
by climbing to the bridge. This de-
vice is practiced by hundreds, more
particularly on Sundays during the
rush and in the midst of the passing
throng attending the bull fights at Jua-
reZ.

were to pay for advertising in said
J. A. Smith was called and said that
to his knowledge he knew of no such
corporations doing business in this
city. Postmaster Campbell's testi-
mony was practically the same. Mr..

Mr. Chase, reporter OF the
"Times," was also called and testified |
that he had visited the prisoner at the |
jail shortly after his arrest; that at
first he seemed disinclined to make |
statement but upon being pressed adj |
mitted to him that he was |
hard up and had to get some |
money somehow and hence he |
had inserted in the news

That the grasping and wholesa lie

There are two kinds of the -slot ma

It is nothing lest than = bare faced rob-

but almost invariably the unfortunate
individual will find himself few dol

The mechanism of the device is quite

no doubt great pains was taken in its
delicate construction to warrant the

than from 25 to 80 per cent.
