Because the mechanism of his re-
volver was imperfect and refused to
discharge the cartridge, L. H. Hughes,
a grocer, who conducts a store in Riy-
erview addition, just east of the city,
can sleep easily tonight, satisfied that
he has neither killed nor wounded the
man whom he discovered at 5 o'clock
this morning in his grocery store.
Had this not been the case the burglar
would probably have been either in a
hospital or morgue at this time, and
Mr.. Hughes would have no doubt been
wishing that his firearm had failed to
work Happily the risk of life and
limb the marauder ran was unavailing,
and although he made good his escape
without even revealing his identity he
secured nothing from the store.

However, Mayor Picker stated thi

in the case, and will fight it out on tn
lines laid down by the complainant.

that the specifications do not necesss
