Gibbons by an announcement on the top margin of the same page that man from Mexico was in town.
 The only other occurrence of the day given equal prominence in that issue of the Telegraph was the defeat of the Constitution and the Independence by the Columbia.

 Gibbons didn't see why he should be arrested me rely for making such a dis turbaESe on a street car that the con duotor put him off. and also merely be- cause after that episode he insisted up- on yelling shrilly that he was a gentle man of extreme prominence in mining circles.
