The inducements offered by the crowds
of thirsty travellers who alight at the
Rock Island depot are too great for
them to quit business. They have been
disturbed several times at the same
stand, but resume business at the
earliest opportunity. They left $20j
each with the jailer Friday night, and
resumed business within the hour.

It was later brought to light that Lille
had also harvested a silk skirt. and
that her gentleman friend, Robert Ran

unknown. At this juncture, Ransom
suddenly remembered a pressing en-
gagement uptown. and started to leave
the court room, but was promptly call

tub full Of bottled goods and ice was
found under the bed by the officers.

think it an awful shame to be deprived
Of their drinkables during the hot
weather.
