HE is STILL AT LARGE.

Night officer Patterson failed ut
terly in his attempt to run down the
notorious DR.. Dippy last night. The
clues in his possession. which he be-
lieved would lead to the capture of
the great editor and undertaken,
proved worthless and DR.. Dippy Is
stlll a free man, and 1t is presumed
is still grinding out terrific desserta-
tions on the doings and character of
local people for the Elks Booster,
soon to make Its appearance.
Police court was convened at a
very early hour this morning by Po-
lice Judge Hill In anticipation of the
arraignment of DR.. Dippy. 1t being
firmly believed that officer Patterson
would win out in his great detective
stunt.
The court was decidedly chagrined
when he was informed that DR.. Dip
py is still Mt large, and only by the
strenuous efforts of the friends of the
popular night officer was he pre-
vailed upon not to fine Officer Patter-
son for contempt in failing to pro-
vide the court with a victim able to
pay a fine. Oh
Undaunted and unruffled, Oficer
Patterson has planned clever ruse
for operation tonight and there may
be n startling denouement.

FUNNY STUNTS FEATURED
COMICAL BASEBALL GAME

Lloyd Smails was the big noise" at
the Pavilion skating rink last night
when the city leaguers met the Davis
Kaser's in a laughable exhibition of in
door baseball on rollers. The "Smails
special slide to bases as exploited by
the corpulent chaser of the grill, was
so funny it hurt. 1t is safe to say no
other skater has ever drawn forth half
the encores that greeted Lloyd last
night whenever he attempted to steal
a base.
Six innings We're all the players
could stand although the crowd could
have seen that many more with the
same degree of interest it watched
the first six. The Davis-kaserS only
got four runs to the leaguers' 10. but
they got the lions share of roofing
from the bleachers. Features of the
contest outside of Smlils' spectacular
sliding stunts were the batting of Blu
Chef and the clever eaten of a high fly
by Charlie Lawry. Sheets at shortstop
also did some fast fielding.
The umpire has mis- troubles inside
as we'll as out. as Dan Lankard learned
when he called BUCKETS three sacker.
The crowd was good natured, however,
and Dan doesn't feel a bit downcast
but says he will be On hand for the
next contest.
The musical program for tonight,
arranged by Edgar L. Smith, is as
follows:
