of the town. Haradon told the circum-
stances leading up to the suit to the
correspondent of The Spy, today Els

minutes for his mail finally saying,
sharply, Mail, please" AT this, he
ayers Postmaster Farrar replied that
he couldn't have any mail. Then Har-
adon says he started for the door ard
was called back by Farrar, who hand
ed him the mail, and threw him out
of the office He threatened to have
me into court, Thursday, for being
drunk" said Haradon. "He showedme a
pair of twisters and said he would
have those on me-"
At any rate Haradon walked direct
ly to the office of DR.. A. F. FernaId

of Chief Frank E. Babcock which has
already been printed in The Spy OI
course this plan is likely to be changed
or modified in some of It's detalls- one
of the engineers believes, FOR instance
that the department would pc better
off if two of the hose companies Were
abolished altogether, and the money
gpent in supporting them, put to other
use. ~
