/ PERHAPS THE WRONG MAN. -
There is a man in the county Jail who
person. He is a plumber, arrested a
couple of weeks ago on a charge of
vagrancy. \ companion taken in at
the same time was found to have three
pairs of new trousers in his possession.
1t was learned that the trousers had
been stolen from Alkire's store and
the two men were identified as having
been in the store together, the plumber
Of
denied that he had been at the store or
that he had had anything to do with
the other suspect. The case, however.
seemed dead against them both and
they were sentenced to 175 days in
Jail. Since then the plumber has been
frequently visited by another stranger
and from a part of conversation be-
tween them yesterday it is gathered
that the visitor ought to be in the in
side. He said: Il want to do some
thing for you to square myself. I'll
give you twenty-five, and he put his
hand into his pocket. Never mind
replied the plumber; Il don't want
your money; I'm in now and I'll make
the best of it.
A BIG DEAL REPORTED.-The tide
of prosperity usually affects real es-
tate matters last of all, for when good !
times come there are hundreds of little |
things that have to be attended to first !
But at the present time the most of the !
minor affairs in this locality have been !
properly arranged and some people are !
locking around for investment 1t may
be said the dawn of that prosperity I
that real estate men have been looking /
for has broken and its full sunshine will /
soon be in evidence. Among several |
transactions which We're contaminated !
yesterday was the purchase of twelve !
lots by the Arizona Building company
in Kilroys New Palestine tract This !
company was recently incorporated |
and has for its object the erection OF |
small residence properties for sale to /
working men and those of limited cap
ital. Ground will be broken today for /
the erection of twelve brick cottages
on these lots to be completed at the i
earliest possible moment. 1t is also /
that options for ninety days
were asked for yesterday by other par
ties on two other blocks in the same +!
part of the city. Their refusal indi- |
Gates that the owners are confident of
the values placed and not the least bit
anxious to tie up property when the
tide is turning this way and enhanced !
are a logical expectation.
