 postofice last evening he had occa-
 sion to take purse from his pocket
 and lay it down on the desk provided
 for the accommodation of the public.
 He forgot the purse and left the
 building but missing it returned later
 to look for it as it contained $500 of
 his hard earned money. The purse
 was gone and he reported the fact to
 the postmaster but never expected to
 see it again. This morning J. B. Jolly
 superintendent of schools brought a
 purse in and turned it over to the
 postoffice people saying that he had
 found it lying on the desk. It proved
 to be Bakers and he is rejoicing that it had been found by an honest man.

 At the semi-annual election of off cers last evening the United Moderns elected the following officers for the ensuing year: T. L. Harris, chancel- Tor; Mrs. Frank Lowe, regent; Mrs. Ora French, orator; Ed. Keihl, re- corder and tinancier.
 They had a Granite street social last night. It opened at I2 o'clock and closed about fifteen minutes after ward on the arrival of the officers. l Rocks, beer mugs, piano stools, chairs and clubs were used in the game played, and when itwas over the floor of the house in which it was held was covered with blood. Warrants are out for six of the participants, al- though the total number engaged was about ten or twelve.
 Last night just after the close of Elks' minstrel show the report of a pistol, followed by screams, were heard in the direction of Granite street. At first it was thought to be fire alarm, but no more shots being fired and the screams ceasing, the conclusion was formed by those who heard it that it was simply one of those shots occasionally heard and never accounted for. This mornings record at the city prison discloses the tact that the shot was fired to attract police attention, the circumstances leading up to it as related to the Journal-Miner being that six recent l arrivals from Colorado entered a sa- loon on Granite street and called for drinks. When they were served the parties, it is alleged, commenced hrlng glasses at mirrors. breaking furniture and performing other acts towards turning the place into a rough house. Three of the persons supposed to be implicated were ar rested while the other three escaped.
