State street, and has already begun the
repairing of the old stables.

Truman avenue, and think the new To-

better.

Messrs. Carter and Wells. The new
barns will be open and ready for bust

Thomas Malone came to town from

ing business. He went into local sa-

he went out he took with him his own
overcoat and another belonging to Max
Husslein.
He was arrested a few minutes later
on the charge of stealing the coat. A
pair of specs was also missed a few
minutes later in another saloon and
the theft of them was charged to the
old man.
This morning he was given a pre-
liminary hearing Mr.. Husslein, the
man who owned the coat, did not care
to testify against him, as he believed
the man took the coat, not meaning to
steal it, but because he was intoxicated
On the refusal of the owner of the
coat to pros ecute Chief of Police Rim
bach signed the affidavit and the trial
of the old man will be held tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock.
Ali he has in the world is set OF

will have to go to Jail and stay out his
sentence. He has not enough funds tc
hire a lawyer and so abe county will

who were arrested here yesterday aft

up a commotion in the Jail which was
commensurate with their anticipations
of being burned alive in their cells
Their walls and cries aroused the
whole neighborhood and as the people
answering the distressing calls neared
the Jail, the shrieks of the terrified
prisoners increased. Reaching the Jail
the rescuers found the cells filled with
a dense smoke emanating from the
stove which had been lighted yester-
day afternoon for the first time this
season. The prisoners had nothing
with which they could have quenched
the fire and were practically helpless.
nor could any of the people who hur-
ried to the jail TO rescue them do any
thing for them because of the fact that
the doors were locked.
Deputy Sheriff James Gill was sum-
moned and forced the door open to re-

incarcerated them and, not knowing

Now the Scence Shifts Again.
Joseph e. Howard, actor, song writer
and stage manager. after many stirring
episodes in divorce courts, is once more
attracting attention.
Investigation of report from New
York brought to light several startling
facts, principal among which is that
Mabel Barrison, his present wife. has

band is now playing sketch with An

The theatrical separation of Howard
and Mabel Barrison took place several
weeks ago. and is said to have followed
an exciting family scene. Then Mabel
quit the vaudeville turn which she had
been doing with her husband. and An.
ma Laughlin was engaged to take hel
place.

UNCLE SAM BUCKS
SANTA CLAUS NOW
Secretary Of Agriculture
Takes Up Question of
Straw Stuffed Toys.

Hardly a Yule tide approaches, but
what Santa Claus does not find himself
up against some proposition. One sea-
son 1t is the scarcity of reindeer, in an
other he finds himself up against the
labor union for buying non-union made
toys.
his year 1t is your big Uncle Sam
who steps in and lays the stumbling
in the road for the saint with the jovial
face and the flowing white beard. I'm
Gle Sam will not permit Santa to dis
tribute toys this year which are
packed in hay or straw and coming
from either Maryland, Michigan, Penn
sylvania and New York. Not only has
the reindeer driver object to this, but
the New York board of trade has taken
the matter up with Secretary Wilson,
partment of agriculture.
All the big manufacturers in New
York and other eastern cities and the
agents of European toy makers from
whom Santa Claus buys his holiday
supplies are also up in arms against
the decision.
Many large consignments of holiday
ines were returned from freight de-
pots where they were sent for ship
ment. and their return was the first
thing that the consignors knew of the
quarantine against hay and straw. AS
1t is getting rather late in the sea-
son, and Santa Claus will start on his
rounds in just about three weeks. the
delay occasioned by Secretary Wilson's
order may be responsible for much va
cant space in many tsocking on
Christmas night and many a disap-
pointed littiS boy and girl. or even a
disappointed big girl or boy.
The trouble comes from the fact that
the department of agriculture has dis
covered that there is a contagious dis
ease among the cattle of Maryland and
Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
