unfished portion of the lake. In making
his cast, Jake had the misfortune to lose
his balance and was soon wetter and a
wiser man. Art gave Jake the laugh and
it is claimed that If he had rot got down
on his knees and begged piteously, he
would have been as wet as Jake. Ais
inability to swim may have had something
to do with Arts failure to find the bath.

forgery on complaint Of Mr.. Summers.
Ryan worked laying water pipes and
when he called for his pay he stated that
his board was paid. Mr.. Summers makes
it rule that all transient boarders shall
show receipt from their boarding house
proprietors. Ryan had one purporting to
have been signed by Mrs. Kilbourne, with
whom he boarded, but Summers was
suspicious and investigated. Ryan hadn't
paid and wrote the receipt himself. His
examination was adjourned ror week.
