DR." BOL|N JUMPS BAIL
AND FLEES new ROCHELLE

New Rochelle. N. Y, Oct. 1.-The ex-
citement under wh.ch New Rochelle la
bored when "Dr p" Samuel Bolin was ar
rested on charge of burglary, changed
to almost stupor WHEN developments came
thckly.
-Bolin failed to appear in court when
his case was called and the $4,000 bail
which friends had put up for him was
forfeited. The next shock came when
Mrs. Bohn told the police that while she
believed her husband owned an interest
In drug store in Harlem, his regular oc-
cupation was that OF bartender Then
came the assertion that Bolin had served
prison term in New Jersey and had been
arrested for burglary in New York
This was followed by the report that
Mrs. Bolin had attempted suicide. She
threw herself IN srort of a slowly moving
trolley car on Main street yesterday af-
ternoon, but the car was stopped before
she was In any particular danger. Later
the police stated that she had disappeared
from town.
According to the story OF Mrs. Bolin,
her husband attempted twice to kill him.

she prevented him. Soon after. she says.
he left the horse and she has no idea
what became OF him.
Bolin and his wife, who moved here two
months ago and bought a house I'm the
exclusive section OF the town, were re-

CONCRETING CONTRACTS.
I'VE made contracts for concreting
upon the basis of which we will save the
city 10 cents per square yard. The old
price was 45 cents the new contracts are
for 80 and &c cents. Asphaltng is to cost
the city under the new contract so and
S0la cents per square yard. and under the
new contracts we will save 20 cents per
square yard. The next lowest bid for
asphaltinG was Sl.2s per square yard and
some went consider ably higher.
I'VE have had number of real estate
deals put up to us which we turned
down. This committee does not propose
to have dealings with straw men. and
will not advocate the purchase of any
land when the city does not actually re-
quire it,: neither will IL pay fancy prices
for that which 1t does recommend ac-
quiring.
There is ju.. one thing more which I
wish to add. and that is that the city Is
about TO lose the services OF our chair
man, Mr.. Carpenter who intends to retire
from the common council. He has given
valuable service as committeeman and
has stood firmly between the taxpayers

The groom is retired ranchman of
Emm0ns county, N D., and is "a years
OF age, while his bride is two years his
junior. The happy couple will leave
this morning for Linton where they
will make their future home.
In spite of the advanced age OF the
groom and his long residence in this
vicinity he had an axasperating time
In securing his marriage license and
for u brief half hour he had visions of

saw an uncompromising clerk of

The cause Of all his trouble was his
inability to secure a person to identity

whittier he had gone to secure his Ii
cense. Under the South Dakota law
such Identification is obligatory.
When Mr.. Burge learned This he be-
gan to look about him for his friends,

received his valuable piece OF paper
and went on his way rejoicing.
But the end of his troubles were not

Milwaukee depot to meet the train
from the soutll on which his bride was
TO arrive. But to his disappointment
she did not come and Mr.. Burge went
