Captain Rowe of the Chaffee Street sta
tion has begun a war on class OF men
in which every citizen should be only too
happy TO lend helping hand, and those
men are they who leave a coal or wood
yard with an order and while on the road
TO deliver the same dispose OF portion
OF the order and pocket the receipts.
Yesterday afternoon he caused the ar
rest OF lam Miller and James Ash
worth at the yard OF the Providence Box
and Lumber yard at the foot OF Troy
street, who Il is claimed. have been In
the habit OF selling wood that had been
ordered from the yard They are charged
with embezzling $3.50 each. and 20 make

Two bowling teams from the Sunset club
met on the clubs alleys last evening Al
derman Gilbert Y. Parker headed one and
Councilman E. j. San Souci the other.
and when the game was ended Mr.. San
Souc is credited with eaying that II the
score was not announced to the public
that he and his crestfallen associates
would pay for a supper and allow Mr..
-
range the bill OF fare. This did not hardly
1T the vctors. for Mr. Parker and the
team appeared 10 be satisfied to eat com
mon every day baked beans cooked with
the poorest OF western pork for a week,
rather than not have tho victory an
nounced.
Mr. Burdick OF the losing team claims
that he should not be dragged into the
unfortunate affair. for he made score
OF 100. which was away ahead OF any
other on eitner team. but Mr.. San Souci
was heard TO whisper the word traitor"
and then Mr.. Burdck appeared to be will
ing to take all that was coming 10 him"
supper is the probable outcome OF the
very pleasant afrair. for this is the second
time lat they have been beaten and the
winners think that II Is about time 20
"eat"
