A WHEEL TRADED. Nicholson
makes no pretensions to being sport
though when he makes a bargain he is
game and willing to abide by the re-
suit. But when man makes him an
interested party to a deal without con-
sulting him he thinks he has right to
get mad if he wants to. Yesterday he
set his favorite racycle. model Ga and
number 80 .465, against the front of his
shop, and when he went to get it again
he discovered that some lobster had
taken it away and left an ice wagon in
its place.

THE TAX SALE.-The delinquent
tax sale of property in the Bennett ad-
dition, which has caused the munich
pality to lay awake nights. and made
the tax collector stir himself in the
day time. was pulled off yesterday.
Though it was an unusually warm day,
the tax collector did not find it neces-
sary to work himself into a lather in
order to finish the job on time, for be-
fore the sale every property owner but
one had called at the captains office
and made good. A single tract con-

to E. E. Pascoe for s567, and that will
probably be redeemed as soon as the
owner returns to the city.
