you know how n soldier traitor is
put to DEATH said the colonel. The
traitor stands blindfolded, and half a
dozen privates shoot at him stimuli
taneously. But perhaps you don't
know that each of those privates.
though he take the most careful aim,
may afterward say without fear Of
contradiction that the traitors blood
does not stain his hands. This is the
reason: Two of the rifles for this ghast-
~ shooting are always loaded with
blank cartridges. Then they are shut
fed, and no one knows which the
harmless ones are. The executioners
draw, and each is as like as not to
draw a harmless gun. So when they
shoot they can solace themselves with
the thought that maybe they are only
shooting a blank cartridge at the poor
blindfolded wretch before them

are the glass balls OF Billion" found
among the tin ore deposits. These nat
ural glass balls are round. with grooved
surfaces. Similar phenomena are &C.
casionally found in Borneo and Java
as well as in Australia. The CORE
spondent quoted thinks they cannot be
artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volcanic bombs. Besides, 1t

by the nearest volcanoes are quite diff
ferent in their nature from the mate
rial Of the balls. 1t il suspected that
the mysterious objects were elected
ages ago from the volcanoes Of the
moon and afterward fell upon tho

They Claimed to Be Repairing
Copper Kettles but Only
'Shined Thin Up."
MADE A GOOD SUM AT 1T.
ROvERS TAKEN AT EATON AND
RETURNED HERE TO FACE THE
CHARGE OF GETTING MONEY
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.

| Two of the rowing. band of gypsies
which has been camped near the fair
grounds and frequented the streets OF
Richmond during the past week are
obtaining money under false pretenses
| hanging over their heads. If the evil
dence apparently against them counts
for anything the swarthy sons of the
European Southland are likely to stay
in this county for time.
According to the police the gypsies
have been working a very smooth
game while here. Two candy firms,
the Greeks and Hasty Bros, fell vic
tins TO the foreigners. Repairing
candy kettles was the occupation at
which the aliens were supposed to
labor and it was in such alleged cap
acity that they approached the two
candy firms and applied for work. Ac-
cording to the contract made they
We're TO put new bottoms in kettles.
They deposited She purchase price of
the kettles with the firms in order to
SHOW SOOu IdlJl anu tOoh tuSIl away
When the kettles came back they
looked to be as good as new. They
shone brightly but it was a case of
''all's not gold that glitters'' and on
closer inspection Messrs Hasty and
Kutche found that they had been
cleverly tricked and the kettles had
not been materially changed. If any
thing they had less copper in them
when they were returned than when
taken away. Mr.. Kutche spent 5000
with the gypsies and Mr.. Hasty $3.50.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice last night, but at that time the
gypsies could not be located. it
seems that they felt satisfied with the
work done here and started east Supt.
Bailey finally got line on them at
Eaton. The Marshall was instructed
to hold them and this afternoon Off
GERS Longman and Edwards went to
Eaton with Mr.. Has.y and : brought
back the two men who had operated
at Hasty's store. They give their
name as Demtro and say they are
Greeks. Mr.. Kutche. the owner of the
Greek candy store. declares they are
not Greeks. Whatever their national
ity, they had a good graft and are gyp-
sizes in every sense of the word.

STATE INSPECTOR HERE.
HE FOUND CONDITIONS WERE
NOT SUCH AS THEY SHOULD BE
AND WILL MAKE RECOMMEN-
DATIONS TO STATE BOARD.

Frank Tucker, deputy inspector for
the state board of health. who has been
in this city for few days making in
spection of local slaughter houses. has
returned home. Mr.. Tucker, while
making an inspection of the Maher
and Mitchell butcherins establish
ment and that of Henry HolZapfel.
found conditions everything else but
satisfactory Both houses do not COM
ply with either the state law or the
city ordinances on the subject. and al
though Mr.. Tucker condemned neither
one, while in this city, he probably will
report fayorably on the condemnation
of the Maher and Mitchell establish
ment and Will also recommend the
condemnation of the Holzapfel plant.
Mr.. Tucker has no power to condemn
either establishment, but will make
recommendations to DR.. Hurry, secre-
tary of the state board of health. AM
he with other members of the board
will condemn, in case such is deemed
advisable.
Both Mr. Maher and Mr. Hadley,
proprietors of the white brick slaugh-
tering house, located between that Of
the Richmond Abattoir and HolZap-
fel establishment, state that they
have received no notice OF the CON
demnation of their plant, as Mr..
Tucker said nothing to them about
any such action while here. They
also stated that they knew / house
was in bad condition at the present
time, but were waiting till DR.. Bond
had looked over the scene, which he
did this afternoon and made recon-
mendations This Mr.. Holzapfel has
been doing and all men have signified
their Willingness to comply with any
requests made, if entire new struc-
lures have to be built to relieve pres
ent conditions. If either house is con-
demned tie action was taken in Indi- /
annapolis this afternoon. and the own
ers will be appraised of the fact i'm !
mediately, and will be given five days
in which they can conform with the |
state laws or suspend business tenn |
porarily.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Tuck
or, stated he had not condemned eth
err house as yet. At the Holzapfel
plant he recommended to the owners
the building of new floors in the
Strengthening and cold storage rooms,
with a cement floor in the lard render

should be built six to eight feet above
the floor. all around the Strengthening
room, while everything should be
whitewashed.

1t Is absolutely necessary" con-
tinued NJ. Littlefield. that a site for
another building, to be devoted to
high school purposes, be secured
this fall"
Though only cursory considera-
ton has been given the question of
site for another building, it is be-
lieved that the most practicable To-
cation, as regards coming center of
population, suitable grounds. ETC.,
would be on Mob Hill near the resi-
dence of NJ o. Tibbits.
The Stevens school is needed en-
tirely for the grade pupils, Tor even
now every room in that structure
except possibly the 9th grade is ov-
ercrowded. Two rooms have been
made into four and in one room We
had to put in double seats: we went
out and dug up the old discarded
double seats, in use long ago, and
put them in to accommodate as many
pupils as We possibly could.
The need of another building is
imperative.
We need it right away, and | be-
lieve that if the true situation were
brought before the people that they
would all be in favor of erecting a
new structure in time for use a
year hence. If our town keeps on
growing as it has, even such a new
building must be filled up in a short
time"
