create Il sensational story, to tie effect
that the bunting used in decorating the
streets had been surrep,itioisly removed
by evil minded persons. The truth Is,

manager of the telephone system he has
generously donated the use Of his line
men and wire in putting up and taking
down these decorations, and any ,oly
could have seen him and his men busy
dismantling the bunting on Monday

it, and the bunting, albeit, badly dis
colorel by the rain, was stored in the
telephone building, where the committee,
or nybody else can have it for taking ii
away, as it was almost totally ruined by
the rains.
