is not expected that everything will
be in final shape much before the lst
of June, visitors even now are assured
of their moneys worth The only
trouble about this tremendous EXPOSE
tlon is that there is so much of it
that it will be hard to see it.
The Independent gives Harley Lo-
gan credit for all the improvements
that have been made in Plymouth
during the past ten years. The fact
is Logan had nothing whatever to do
with them. w. B. Hess, Mayor Jones
and members of the city council had
something to do with making improve
mentS in Plymouth. But it will be
news to most people that Logan was
in it at that time.
Republicans of the third ward did
excellent work Tuesday. In spite of
bribery and other disreputable means
used by the opposition they reduced
the democratic majority. DR.. Brown
and (. w. BoSworth were excellent
candidates for councilmen and a few
democrats had judgment enough to
vote for them.

The Canadians have done a wonder

the falls where great volume of
water pours over. Other magnificent
views have also been obtained by

fitted up in the tunnel. with glass

time study the submarine wonders of

His Post for a Few Bullets
in His Body.
CARRIED BULLET NINE DAYS
Accused of Being n Strike Break.
er Chicago Man Shoots Wick.
edly Into a Crowd and
Wounds Two.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Accused of being
a stockyards strike breaker, Robert E.
Close, a watchman for the Santa Fe
railroad, has fired eight shots into a
crowd of men standing near the Archer
avenue bridge and wounded two of
them. one Of his victims, Frank Hol-
leran. was wounded in the side and is
at the hospital, but the other, Andrew
Bloom, 70 years old, refused to desert
his post at the crossing of the Chicago
& Alton tracks. although he had a
bullet in his thigh. Close was arrested.
Both of the wounded men were taken
to the police station and Holleran ask
ed that he be removed to hospital.
1t was not so with Bloom.
NO, / must go back to my station"
he said after the trains all have
gone through then maybe I'll go to the
hospital, but until then cant leave"
To the remonstrance Of the police
he replied:
II have been shot before. ] lost my
arm at the battle Of Antietam and !
carried a bullet in my side for nine
days. This hurts, but / must get back
to my post"
The shooting was caused by mis-
take. Close was patrolling the tracks
of the Santa Fe railroad near Ashland
avenue, he says, when he saw boys
stealing from a freight car. He fol-
lowed them to the Archer avenue
bridge. where the men were standing.
Some one shouted that he was strike
breaker and Holleran tried to stop
him.
Close became enraged and drew his
pistol, firing first at Holleran, and then
into the crowd which promptly scat
tered.
