Trotto was joshing the water boy

Bassio took the water boys part
and clinched with Trotto, who
drew knife and began cutting.
Bassio tore himself loose, sought
a pile of bricks and began bonn
harding Trotto. Trotto instead of
taking flight covered his head with
his arms, like a Roman, and got
inside Bassio's range. There was

w. d. Wheaton, candidate for

trict, is another prospective law
maker who refuses to knuckle to
the railway political club.
Mr. Wheaton says he is in favor
of anything that will benefit the
working man, but he regards rail-
roads in politics with suspicion and
says at his hands they will receive
only the consideration they are en-
titled to as corporations. He can't
see where the railroads have been
or are going to be damaged by
legislation.
In addition to the initiative and
referendum, Mr.. Wheaton is a sup
