 Three of the boys contrived to get oit alive and promptly set to work to pull their companions out of the water They worked hard. but were unable to get young Clifton and the little negro boy out alive.

Haiada and company, the exhibition of the Vanos with hand cuffs and ropes. the songs of Miss Brack- man and the tricks of the Lawsons are pleasing Casino patrons.
