a number of love letters in the court

letters were signed by Fred Israel, a

has made a sensational statement that
Israel never saw them and knew moth

claims that they were forged and sent

keeper found himself unable to con-

friends he got up movement to ex-

the saloon. The delegation which was
opposing the move went to Sleep in
the council meeting last night and the
ordinance went through.
