Walnut Grove Tribune: Last
Saturday evening Chief Endersbe
of the Tracy police was in town try
ing to locate man who had made
way with couple of hundred dol
lars from his employer, a Mrs.
Trout, who lives near Tracy. II
seems that the lady had given him
check for 5000 to buy some cattle
with, and instead of doing so he
came to Walnut Grove with com
panion and proceeded to spend it
for booze. The man had just gotten
out of the county Jail at Marshall,
where he had served a term for
drunkenness, and getting more
money thought he would have an
other time. The chief failed to find
him Saturday night as he had got
ten on to the fact that he was want
ed aud had hidden himself. Sunday
morning he showed up again and
was nabbed by Marshal Benson.
and held until chief Endersbe drove
down after him. He took his arrest
coolly and seemed to think that he
would not be punished.
G. A. Young, the Tracy man who
was missing from his home, and
who was finally located in a hospi-
tai at Mankato; appears to be short
IN his accounts as secretary of the
building and loan association of that
place. The Herald says that stock
holders of the association became
alarmed at his long absence and
commenced looking into matters,
with the result that sufficient irreg-
ularities were found to prove his
long absencela flight from Justice.
The other officers of the association
sent to the cities for an expert to
examine the books. Mr.. Young
was a borrower insEthe association,
in the regular way, with the loan
secured of his home, and it is
found that this mortgage has been
cleared on the record at the county
seat. In making that transaction
he obtained theT signature of the
president, while that officer was un-
aware of theInature of his act. An
other serious offense is found in
building and loan certificates of
stock, claimed also as worthless
and bought by the First National
bank for $500, Theassociation can
not lose in either of these transac-
tons and apparently at this writing
they are the only offenses, which
goes to substantiate the belief that
Mr.. Young has become mentally de-
ranged and imagining himself badly
involved financially, frantically en-
deavored to save to his family a
home. A few days after leaving
here he sent his dues to a local
lodge and also wired his wife that
he would be here on Tuesday, Nov.
8, on the evening of which date the
books were to have been inspected
for the first time since the death of
the former treasurer, Mr.. Jessup.

HasardOus Nature of . Californian Sport That 10 Very
 Popular.

Crater bathing is leading sport in Mexico and California, where volcano baths are frequently taken on account of tileir recuperative and invigorating properties. The bathers do not plunge into either hot water or lava. as neither exist in the craters used for baths, nor do any flames or sulphurous vapOrs arise from the hollows. The substance into which the volcano bather lowers himself is ice-cold mud. of the consist ency of freshly-miXed mortar. These volcanoes. which are among the won- dcrs of California. are fairly numerous, there being 25 in the Mendocino dis trict. which throw up mud instea,! of lava wheE they are in eruption. The method of bathing is simple, if not con- fortab.e. and is attended with risk. A sapling. cut from the forests and stripped of its branches. is placed over the crater so that its eXtremities rest upon firm ground. The Dather crawls along this sapling until the middle of the crater is reached, and then let's his body into the mud. and hangs suspend ed by the hands from the strip of wood. If this grasp were relaxed by any chance the !,athcr would in all probabil. ity sink int, the mud and disappear be- fore help co'ild be rendered.

WANT CHEAP
PAVEMENT
lehigh Valley Objects to the Pc
titiOn for Brick in State
Street.
ASKS CONSIDERATION.

A letter was read at last night y
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
from the Lehigh Valley railroad com
pany, asking that the ordinance to
pave upper State street. from the
company's property to the lands oil
William Meredith and others. with
brick. be amended. so that a cheaper
pavement NAV be laid.
Adrain Lyon, the representative OF
the company. requested permission to
speak.
He said that the company owns
|. 200 feet along the line OF the, pro.
posed improvement, which would
put them to an expense of about
$1,000. This they deem exorbitant,
and Judge Lyon asked that the coun
Gil give the matter careful attention.
When the ordinance came up, it re-
ceived its first reading, and was laid
over for consideration.

for sometime, and then Mr.. Dunigan
was called In. When the members
finally emerged from the committee
room. Alderman-nt- large Pfeiffer OK
planned the situation, and stated that
Mr.. Dunigan's bid could not be con-
sidered as the specifications called for
bitulithic and that wac controlled by
the Warren Brothers. The contract
was then awarded to them.
A fow minutes later, when the re-
ports of the committees were asked
for, the chairman of tho committee on
streets and sewers presented written
motion that the petition for Warren
hitultllic paving on Smith street, be-
tween High and Water streets, be not
granted. This motion was unanim-
ousIy passed.. Alderman loft ex-
planned that it appeared that tho
Warren pavement would cost oonsi-
derably more than several others.
The unsuccessful efforts of the
Evening News to save the Taxpayers
this extra fifty oents per square yard
on the paving OF Rector street is we'll
known. In vain it was explained that
the pavement in question was merely
n bitumlnous macadam only the
Warren Brothers used n patent
material which they called lAy the
hypnotic name of bitullthic, to cement
the stone together. Other companies
use other material to cement the
stones together and guarantee 1t TO
last ns long as the pavement in which
bitulitIic in used, then why prevents
them from bidding in competition
with the Warren Brothers? That was
the argument put forth by the Even
ing News. With the practical demon
strdtion in the bidding last night, it
is evident competition is the proper
thing for any CITY to follow and by
throwing out the petition for the
Smith street block, the aldermen have
practically served notice that there
will be no more closed specifications
in this city.

Mr. Aleok Wilson, and who moved
into it few weeks ago, was struck
by lightning about 6 O'Clock yester-
day morni ng. A portion Of the slate
roof was torn of and small hole
made, but fortunately that was the
only damage done. The family were
N t even aware that th house WAS
struck at tile time, it is said.
It was reported that another house
was struck, but no one could tell just
where it was. Some said the Nc
Quail house, hut others claimed that
was not correct, so it was impossible
to find out,
New Brunswick, July l9:-Lightn-
ing struck the house of Clarence W.
Harra, on tho Metuchen road, one
house from the Highland Park hotel,
at 2:40 o'clock yesterday morning.
The bolt seemed to split up, ono part
of it going along the north side of
the building and the othor part going
along the south side. On the south
side the lightning stripped off about
half OF the roof. scattering the slate
over the yard and also splin tered
eight heavy rafters.
O. W. Williams was sleeping in II
room on the north de of the build
ing. The shock threw him out of bed
several feet, rendered him unconscious
and set his hair on fire. He rallied
in time and one OF Oecil's feet
was burned.
The lightning also went into the
room occupied by Clarence Harra,
Jr., and Cell w. Harra Clarence was
stunned ana one of Cells feet were
burned.
The rain poured into tho house
through the holes which had been
made in the roof. One of the castings
in tho childrens room also caught
fire and thu occupants of the house
had their hands full for some
time saving the house both from be-
ing burned and from being deluged.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harra were not in
jured, the lightysng not getting to
the part of " house occupied by
them. One of the neighbors saw the
bolt strike and ran over to give what
assistance he could.
