ludes to the legend In his story Of st.

In that story Moore makes st. Kelvin
throw his former ladyloye over the

Something of sensation has been
caused by the arrest of Clark Hollen-

deadly weapon. The prisoner is alleged
to have attacked VIM. Casey, a Kenne-
bee business man, whom he struck on
the head with dangerous weapon.
Hollenbeck waived his preliminary
hearing and furnished bond in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at an
