district where the man slept to pro
cure recommendation for, moving per
NIT, that had authority to issue thoS
only to people who slept in my district
Driving by the stables the next day
!, asked him if he got what he was afte
and he said he had not done anything
more about it.
The next heard of the case was yes
. terday morning Sunday when Nj
T Robinson, tsee this mornings report
