This Plant Was Given Away.

The mayor of Fulda. Mimi, writes
with regard to. the electric light plant
in that city:
sour plant was not sold. but given
away in 1902. but the deed was not
executed until five years later. as ac-
cording TO contract the present owner
was to run II for FIVE years In pay
ment for it. The reason for giving it
away was that it ran $1,000 behind ev-
cry year. The original cost was about
$1,000"
The original cost must have been in
creased by later additions. as In Janu-
airy last the superintendent reported
the cost as $4,000.

The captain is very modest in speak

warmly for long time and il is said
that three times in succession some one

white flag and as often their assailants
stopped firing and approached. only to
be moved down by an unexpected VOL

mad and charged the enemy neither
giving nor taking quarter. When too
close TO fire they reversed their guns
and using them for clubs made a hand
