1t is rather interesting coincidence
in this connection that the colors of the
flag Of Italy. red. white and green,
should be the same as those of our

which we of the west are indebted for
our present representation of the Span

decorated iii honor not only of the
Italian navigator and the Spanish king

frogs for switches will be manufac-
tured for use on the Denver & Rio
Grande system. The frog plant will be
the only one of its character in the
west, and the Denver & Rio Grande

as a location for the frog factory is be-
cause of its convenience to the iron

George Adams, the sanctimOnious in
dlVldual who has been in Bessemer the
past few days representing himself to
De an Armenian priest and soliciting
FUNDS for his poor countrymen, and
who was willing to take anything, was
given ride III the patrol wagon Tues
day afternoon from the cool and bleak
end of East Northern avenue to the
Hotel McCafferty Adams owes the
pleasure of the trip down the hill to
Officer Stance.
While many Bessemer people suspect
ed that Adams was a rank fake it was
not definitely known until he evidently
by mistake drifted into the home of
Father Zupan. The latter soon dis
covered that he had no credentials at
all which would show that he had any
right to collect donations for any one
save himself. The matter was reported
to the police and his arrest followed.
For the past few weeks Bessemer has
been infested with all kinds of tramps
and beggars. The beggars are not
confined to men by any means. One
Bessemer merchant sT AatSnst less
than three different Women had called
on him during the day asking for va
rious kinds of help. The first one was
a professional. She claimed that she
had a bone cancer inside her head Her
hat was pulled down far over her fore
head. and she pointed to the spot
through her hat as she asked for aid.
The next woman came in and told a
story of how she loved the poor orphan
children and how she was helping
many of them. She offered for sale a
pamphlet of few pages. The price was
10 cents.
