The two Italians who were arrest
ed for their fight at the yards this
morning gave all kinds of names to
the officers Their English names
they state to be Tony and Jim English.
To another party they gave their names
as Charlie Pascal and Tony Lindiman.

their slick ways of getting out of

with either banjo or mandolin in
his hands. In one of the issues of the
Denver News last week a cut of Frank
Cowles appeared with an accompany
