BERLIN TO HAVE HANGING CARS.

After many years of elaboration and delay Ber-
lin has taken the first practical steps toward the
construction OF experimental line of suspension
overhead railway, with the cars hanging from
elevated rail. Crowds Of curious spectators
gathered in the northern part of the city last
night where the experiment will be tried to watch
the placing of poles and the beginning OF the
structural work, which. when completed. WILL
present the novel sight of streetcars sweeping
through the air without supports beneath.
The experimental line will be only a hun
bred meters long, the object being to the ap-
pearance OF the road ard how far the supporting
pillars will interfere with traffic rather than the
practicablity OF It's operation 1t is hoped that the
experiment will help to determine whether tho
proposed road is calculated to meet the require
nents OF transportation in large cities.

A PAINFUL DUTY
Saddle Stolen Months Ago, Sold to

unlawful acts of citizen, for ru-

has left the country, he usually
leaves some relatives behind that
are HUMAN and perhaps GOOD
PEOPLE. See the point?
Some time ago saddle was
missed from the kroeger livery
barn and until few DAYS ago it
was not located. Mr.. Hal NAV, a
respected young farmer of Greeley

had bought it of Mr.. Hubbell, a
man we'll known in Extra.
A warrant was then sworn out
for Hubbell's arrest and placed in
Constable Smiths hands. Sunday
he found his man who wanted to
go home fret and change his
clothes. On the way to his home,
Hubbell picked up a brick and
threatened to brain the officer who
was unarmed. He made his escape
and the last heard of him was near
Anita and he was minus an over.

have eluded pursuit and is headed
for the Isthmus of Panama. We
hope he will find it.

ALL A JOKE!
1t Bucked and Afforded Amusement
for All Those Near By.

Cir. Buchanan and Will Kommes
furnished much fun and amuse-
ment, Monday evening, when they
met in front of the Kroeger barn
and snapped ponies, the former
giving check for an X. AS Billy
had ridden his pony into town he
dispossessed it of the saddle and
transferred it to the back of his new
pony which was remarkably docile
during the process of fastening
the cinch to certain degree but
when he gave one more surge to
the girth making poor pony look
like modern belle about the girth:
that was the heighth of equine en-.
durance and then such kicking and
plunging and reversing positions
from horizontal to a perpendicu-
lar and visa versa hasn't been seen
for many day and was witnessed
by at least half hundred citizens
and guests of the hotel de Smith
when the foxy animal suddenly
gave over his antics and became as
docile as a poor Colorado burro.
Will promptly filled the empty
space in the saddle aud a gallop
around the park ended the fun for
the lockers on.
