Tate Of . Circus Employe.

Samuel K. Victor, an enterpris-
ing appearing youth. who is en-
ployed by the Pan American
Shows as bill poster, is in the
city today after one of the rough
est experiences that has been
heard OF in this section of the
country lately, as Coming to man
endeavoring to do another man a
favor
Victor was arrested in this city
last week at the request OF the
authorities at La unta, on com
plant of one Alexander Gray, who
lives at Ordway. The charge was
understood to be larceny as bailee.
After spending half day in jail
in this city and bel g taken back
to La nnta. and spending night
in jail in that city, the youth was
given a trial at which an interest
ing chain OF circumstances was
brought out.
For his experience and his sew
eral days time he has received
SIo.
1t seems that in the course OF
his round in the interest of the
circus, Victor had to drive from
Sugar City to La Junta. He was
posting country route. On the
public highway between these two
points he found pocketbook con-
tainIng S2i6 in endorsed checks,
which he could have cashed had
he been SO disposed, there being
also a number of money orders,
payable at Pueblo, which he could
have cashed had he tried. The
property was mlnifestly owned by
Alexander Gray, OF Ordway, and
the first thing Victor did upon
reaching Pueblo was to write Mr..
Gray of the find and ask for infor-
nation as to the manner in which
he wished his property returned.
Being compelled to continue his
work, and not caring to risk the
property in The hands of any third
party, Victor kept the pocketbook
in his possession and proceeded to
this city, arriving here on Monday
and expecting to be followed by
whatever reply Mr.. Cray might
make.
The owner Of the pocketbook,
however, evidently desiring to
take all possible precautionary
measures, notified the police that
his pocketbook was in the posses
sion of Samuel Victor and asked
that the lad be taken into custody.
He was arrested here on Mon
day, and after trying jail life here
and in La unta tor day and a
night was acquitted on the show
ing made At the trial.
A reward had been offered for
the pocketbook and the owner was
compelled to give this reward to
Mr.. Victor.
Ii was the princely sum of Sfo.

City Council.

pbS III uduy WoouS. Mayor Sd'
bin presided, and Aldermen Dani-
her, McNeen, Bentley, Cartwright,
and Carlisle were in attendance.
The water committee and water
commissioner were instructed to
secure bids for taking up four
blocks OF three.inch main on
Ration avenue and replacing with
SIX inch main, the three inch main
to be used on Indiana street in
connecting the "dead end" be-
tween Ration and Carson avenues.
The petition of Mrs. Batterton
requesting that the fine imposed
upon her last year for using water
outside ofirrigation hours, be re-
funded, was on motion disallowed.
Mavor Sabin announced tha,
the committees OF last year would
be continued for the ensuing year,
as follows:
Streets and alleys-McNeen,
Bentley and Cartwright.
Fire and police-Daniher, Ora
per and Carlisle.
Ordinances and licenses-Dra

"Gentlemen," said the mayor,
1--WE will now proceed to the cleo
ton of city marshal for the en-
suing year; prepare your ballots. :"
On the first ballot ]. II. Melvin
received three votes, Hoover
one, F. NJ. Likes two, No choice.
On the second ballot Mel
vim received three vote s
and Likes two. No choice.
The third ballot resulted in no
change. The mayor then declared
a recess of FIVE minutes and left
the council room. He returned
in afew moments with a very I'M.
posing law book concealed under
his right wing. After asking the
board if they had elected a mar
shal during his absence he pro-
Iceeded tc expound the statutes
relative to the method of proceed
ure in deciding questions in cities
of the second class where there was
a disagreement. 1t seems that the
mayor of a second class city has
the right to vote upon all ques-
tions. if he SO chooses, except the
passage OF an ordinance. The
mayor then announced that if at
any time the vote should result in
a tie he would cast the deciding
vote.
On the next vote Melvin re-
ceived two, Likes two and Frank.
lin one. The next vote resulted
in an unexpected surpris to some
of the aldermen present. Some
son OF the old sod cast a blank
ballot, Melvin receiving two votes
and Likes two. The mayor then
said that il afforded him great
pleasure to cast the deciding vote
in favor Of ]. H. Melvin, and he
was declared elected. OF course
the casting ofa blank ballot was
an accident, maybe, but some >ol
our local coal barons say that it
was the "only way out"
The application of ]. w. Bos-
ley for appointment as water ped
dler was granted.
The city attorney was instruct
ed to draft an ordinance forbid
ding the bitching Of horses to
trees and allowing horses to stand
unhitched in the streets.
The mayor appointed Aldermen
Cartwright, Bentley and McNeen
to supervise the operation of the
street sprinkler and employ a man
to manipulate the dust alleviator.
The city is to pay the deficiency
between the amount subscribed
and the cost OF operation. The

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food Is
needed for brain, another for muscles.
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish par
ticnlar part OF the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good, your food may be, its nntri-
ment is destroyed By indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifies
the blood and makes you buOyant and
vigorous. You can get DIR. q. q.
