was about TO walk away when he

After considerable accommodating,
Kleinmeyer managed to entice the rep
tile into a large garbage box which
happened to be close at hand. He
took his captive to the Tenderloin sta

The sergeant was as tired as Klein
meyer and didn't notice that the pa
trolman WAS bringing IN the box with
him. So when the latter stood in
front OF the sergeant's desk and said.
Sergeant, I've got SNAKE the ser

KIeinmeyer was ia frenzled state
Of mind by this time. Lifting up the
box. he invited the sergeant to look
therein.
Sergeant Mccain did look, just to
please Kleinmeyer A long black head
arose from the garbage box. A pair
of steely eyes and flashing red
tongue transHxed Mccain. Assuming
a tragic attitude, with hands extended
before his face, the sergeant yelled:
"rake it away Take it awayH'
There is no doubt IN the minds Of

COAL AT THE ASYLUM.
Unreasonable Prices Not Paid Says Elias
Lyman Of Burlington.

- AAuA ~ AsAtNN-1t
10 the Editor Of the Free Press.
AT d fusion rally held at Bellows Falls
on the 18th inst, Mayor Burke made
renewed charges in connection with the
soft coal furnished the State hospital at
Waterbury. fe claimed that the State
paid high prices for coal on account Of
secret rebates and combinations. In
the first place It is untrue that the State
hospital has ever paid unreasonable
prices for its coal. On account Of lack
of bins, the hospital il obliged to buy
on season contract It is impossible to
get coal on a season contract at az low
q price as it could be bought if it could
be taken during midsummer when bust
ness is slack and canal rates are low.
During the last coal strike. coal was de-
livered at Waterbury for the hospital at
less than five dollars per gross ton, on
season contract, when that same coal
was selling to factories here at nine dol
lars per ton. From this it can be seen
that there are two sides TO the season
contract question.
However. this is not what | started
in to discuss. In the speech above rel
ferrel to, Mr.. Burke said, in connection
with the hospital coal, IA specific rebate
was that allowed Elias Lyman, who re-
ceived from ; to 81 cents per ton rebate
On Alburgh coal" This statement is AM
absolute lie, without one grain Of truth
in it. | have never received, nor has
the company Of which | am president,
received, one single solitary penny in
the shape Of rebates Oh coal shipped to
the State hospital, or to any other party
at Waterbury.
This statement has about as much
truth in it as another one made by Mr.
Burke in speech at Brandon IN which
he said the rate on coal from here 10
Waterbury was 50 cents per ton. The
rate Is 90 cents per ton and this same
rate has been in force for years, II the
claims of the fusion takers, in regard 70
other matters are as far from the truth
as are their claims about the Waterbury
coal, what stock are we to take in their
statementsg II simply shows how hard
up they are for real facts TO support
their contentious. Yours sincerely,
Elias Lyman.
