SCHEMING PRISONERS.
How They Have Been Getting Their
Whisky for the Past Week.

The old adage that Love laughs at
locks and bars, might be appropriately
applied to the prisoners OF the city jail
and their lnsatiate love for whisky. In
the days Of the cid Jail which is now
being replaced with more comfortable
and modern structure, the prisoners
secured whisky by dropping string
out Of the rear window and drawing the
bottles up from friends on the OUT
side They are now being confined In
a temporary bastlle IN the basement un.
derneath the office. The place IL venti-
lated by means Of grated windows
which open under the sidewalk, Eph
Kelly, Mike Boyle ct al. very quickly
made the joyful discovery that a pint
flask could very easily be dropped
through the grated window and raked
into the Jail The discovery was fol-
lowed Immediately by some high old
times. Night after night the prisoners
could be heard singing She's only
bird IN a eilded cage" etc. Investlga-
ton by Uncle Sol Kimball followed,
and several Of the prisoners were found
10 be all mops ard brooms, so 10 speak
Jailer Kimball wondered how, where
and when the fellows got their whis-
Ky. and for several days he continued 10
wonder. The mystery was solved when
some OF the TRUSTEES got ingloIiously
drunk and swore they had not been out
OF the jail yard. BY a process Of simple
reasoning. Jailer Klmbali arrived at the
conclusion that, II the men did not

This morning Mr.. Kmball found
three or four TASKS concealed In the

which By the way is not often. they

Burglars

Last Monday night burglars
attempted to get into the Erland-
son & Johnson store. They
had removed part of the wire
screen and had tried topry up the
window in the rear of the cloth
ing department, but had broken
the window glass in their
attempt. They had undoubtedly
been alarmed by the approach OF
someone, as they left the screw
driver they were working with
on the ground. A similar attempt
was made on the rear window OF
M. E. Fossum S shoe shop, where
the window was also broken,
but where they failed to make
an entrance. The work was
undoubtedly that of common
sneak thieves, and not of profess
sional burglar S, and it will be we'll
for people to be on their guard as
much as possible about this time,
as there are lot of crooks
travelling around under the guise
of harvest hands, but who CLEAN
in fields that are not of their own
sowing and gather their harvest
in the dark of the moon when the
property owner is supposed to
be asleep.

The annual meeting of stock
holders in the B. S. L. P. A. was
held at the Park last Tuesday
afternoon. The affairs of the
association were found to be
in excellent shape, the various
meetings held at the park during
the season having been success
full financially and otherwise,
and the outlook for the continued
increase in the popularity of the
grounds is encouraging. Dur
ing the coming year the associa-
ton is to erect one new building,
and make improvements in the
stabling facilities, placing the
stables further up the ravine
and putting up better buildings.
The association has placed on
the market 100 lots, which will
be offered at $50 apiece until
next season. New arrangements
have been made for the disposal
of garbage. Each cottage owner
will be required to provide his
cottage with a slop receptacle,
and no one will be permitted
to dump refuse in the lake. but
the garbage will be removed
every day.
The park has become one of
the important summer resorts
of the northwest, and each year
improvements will be made
upon the grounds, adding to the
comfort and convenience of the
campers.
