ing a hearing before State Auditor Cole
and talking about fire bugs and other
things, Attorney T. H. Balm filed his
place at the old stand. Business was
extremely slow and the approval of
few bonds was the extent of the trou-
BILE. Meanwhile Mr.. Lindsay was max
ing heated arguments before another
tribunal where he was not the entire
court While he was calling Kearney
county bad names. Mr.. Balm was trying
to keep awake and wishing something
would happen to start an excitement
of some kind.
Later In the afternoon Chief Stahl
began to do business along the usual
line by calling on Geo. Dupree at his
refreshnnent stand which is located at

saw his key and picnic pump cast INTO
the dismal depths of the musty dun
geon. where many others of the same
family have 1anguished and died a nor
ribIe death for want of ice. There Is a
pathetic sameness in the details OF N1r;
Dupree'S many arrests. II they dldn
know better the officers would be in
cjined to think it was the same old
key which greets their eyes on every
visit. George found means OF addlns

would invent a new charge to cover ms

Michael who resides at 1909 Quincy
street. when Officers Botham and Long
called to get pointers on the game from
Mr.. McMichaeI who is not of Hibernian
parentage as might be surmlsed from
the architectural design of his cog
