The United states circuit court of APP

awarded to bidders on public works, be-

bidder fails to enter into such contract
The case comes from Fremont, the title

tract. He afterward declined to enter into
the contract aid the contract was awarded
to Hugh Murphy, the next lowest bidder.
Turner then brought suit in the United

checks and the judgment of the court was
against him. An appeal was taken and a
mandate has just been received from the
United States circuit court Of appeals af-

L. Burger Of North Bend, Neb,, was the

Works New Game
on Hotel Man
Smooth Stranger Bluffs Clerk at Mer-
chants Into Two Days
Board and Room.

The Merchants hotel has had more h
it's share of dealings with unscrupulous
strangers lately. In the last encounter the
hosiery came out the loser by about s.,
the mysterious stranger getting away be-
fore the clerk could have a fair slap at
him.
A smooth looking fellow, wearing a light
suit and straw hat and carrying no lug
gage, arrived at the hotel in the afternoon.
He was assigned to a good room and left
with the day clerk a claim check for a
trunk which he said was being brought
to the hotel by a transfer man who was
in possession OF the Burlington check for
the piece OF baggage.
After supper the drayman appeared at
the hotel with information to the effect
that the run was not at the depot. The
clerk at once informed the raj OF this
and told him he would have the depot
people try to locate the baggage at Council
Bluffs, It having been checked from there
so the strange said.
At Council Bluffs the baggage master
tried to locate the trunk Sunday and late
in the afternoon sent word to the Omaha
office that no trunk had been sent out
from there under the check that the
stranger held.
The clerk at the Merchants tried to find
the stranger TO force some admission or
money from him. The fellow had fled,
though, owing the hotel a bill for two
days board and room.
How the stranger secured a Burlington
trunk check is a matter Of speculation at
the Merchants, One theory is that he stole
it. Another is that he induced a baggage
mar at some other city to give him the
check for his imaginary trunk by telling
him that the trunk would arrive soon. but
that he had to catch a train and did not
have time to wait for it's arrival.

1t wasa years ago when Robert Louis

psychological story OF DR.. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde.
The story was neither a space~filler nor
a pot-boiler. 1t was a creation, 1t was an

been built from the story is one which bids
fair to live for years yet to come, Just as
the story will be read when most Of the
