the intersecting alley he turned east
and ran along back Of the post-office.

him to stop, but he failed to heed, and
Constable Volker cut loose with his
gun, firing perfect fusillade. which
drove Murray to cover, and he took re-
fuge in dry goods box. Constable
Volker ran up, and was pointing his
gun in Murray's face when Alderman
Page came up. and fearing the officer
would shoot Murray. grabbed his gun
arm and pulled him away ar
Police Officer Shea, who was attracted
by the shooting. came up at this time
and took Murray in charge, and took /
him to Justice Nichols court, where

Standard.

From the Syracuse Standard.
An elderly man stepped into big
hotel the other day, accompanied by
his wife, and asked for room. When
the polite clerk gave him pen he
looked visiby embarrassed, but he took
the pen and bent over the book as
though he had nerved himself to some
desperate task. He started to write,
and then stopped and began to think.
The clerk, of course. didn't know what
the trouble was or else he would have
volunteered his services. After pain
full pause the ruralist started in to
scratching some more. After the ex-
piration of fully five minutes the
farmer threw down his pen with sigh
of relief, wiped the perspiration from
his brow and rejoined his better half,
who had been waiting in the lobby dur
ing the ordeal. The clerk was curious
to see signature that required such
an unusual length of time to execute.
The clerk is a solemn man, but he near

hill a saving of 80 feet in elevation,
equal in equated distance to 6,400 feet.
Both improvements will result in a saw

about $50, 900 a year in operation. The
work includes the building of a double
