Wheels Were Changed. - Edward
IJones, city health inspector, was yes

who caused him more annoyance than
all the violators of the health laws
since he has been in office. His dis

dozen men together called his atten-
ton to the fact that he was driving
about town in a rig on which all the
, wheels had been changed Mr. Jones
drove up to the central fire station on
Fourteenth street during the afternoon
and the firemen all ran out of the
!. building to greet him with broadside
: of queries as to the trouble with his
s buggy. One of them had spied the
. inspector at distance, and had called
= all the men to the front door to be
lready with the question. Some one
t changed the front and rear wheels or
). the rig and he drove about town for
an hour before the firemen enlightened
him. The buggy, with two large wheels
in front and two smaller ones in the
rear, was strange sight.
