wANTED-A FOOL KILLER
Some Smart Alecks Play a
Rather Serious Joke at
Truck House.

1t was very lucky for number Of
would-be jokers this morning that the
fool killer happened TO be absent from
the city. They took liberties with a
piece of city property which would
have landed them in Jail had it been
possible to ascertain who they were.
About o'clock the fire belt in the
tower of the Waterwitch Hook and
Ladder Company rang fiercely. To
those who were awakened from their
slumber was given the impression that
a large fire must be raging. Mem
bers of the fire department and other
resients sprang from their beds and
hastened to the company's house.
There it was found that the bell must
have been rung by invisible hands un-
til an investigation was started, which
resulted in the discovery that the ring
ing was the work of those who sought
to play joke.
A cord of great strength had been
carried into the house and up into the
tower. There it was fastened to the
bell rope and passed out of the win
dow. The end of the rope was then
carried across the streeta and into a side
street. Sheltered by the dark and in
position which made it possible for
them to see without being seen the al.
legged jokers pulled the bell The fire.

tion with the affair.

Squire Feldmeyer, one of those to

SNAKE Baker, fed his horse and then
went down town.
Since that time, so it is claimed,
the animal had nothing to eat or drink
until last night, when the stable was
broken into and the horse given feed
Patrolman Owens took possession of
Baker on Monday and escorted him to
his home in compliance with certain
city ordinance. At that time the
officer did not know anything about
the horse and it was not until yester-
day when neighbors began TO make
complaint over the sounds and noises
which we're coming from the barn.

President Roosevelt will be notified

This is not the first visit of the Prince
