The boys side, and several SELF con-

general melee ensued. Several arrests

wrecked. Altogether 1t was twenty
five minutes before that station re-

Next to the uncertainty which has
been engendered by the peculiar love-
making Of the young man who, If all
signs do not fail, Is trying to win
Steve Elkins for a father-in-law the
reported failure Of the lobster crop
has been most disQuieting to the aver
age adult GOthamite. For several years
the lobster experts have been prophe-
sying that unless something "stepped
In" to improve the situation the crus'
tacean held in such high esteem In this
region would become extinct. The
prospect of existence on Manhattan
Island without the cooperation Of the
lobster was indeed formidable, and 1t
has resulted in a careful investigation
of the matter.
The result has just been announced,
and 1t is to the effect that something
has stepped in" Never before have
so many Of the toothsome creatures as
sembled in their favored haunts along
the coast. Had it been agreed in lob
sterdom that the time had come for
monster demonstration to establish the
vitality of the species nothing more
convincing could have been accom-
plished. Lobsters are to be more
plentiful, cheaper and bigger than ever
before, Neither the lobster nor the
lobster butcher is in any danger OF be
coming extinct.

A PETITION containing the sigma
lures of 433 citizens of Gilbert has
been presented to the county board
asking for an order permitting
vote on incorporation as village.
The idea, it is understood, will be
opposed by the saloon men of the
new town, where at present but two
saloons are allowed, who know that
in case of incorporation their num-
Der will be increased and their net
receipts decreased. But Gilbert is
pretty young to permit the saloon
to govern, as they have done in
some of the older range communi-
ties.
