MAN AFTER THEIR OWN HEAPT.
Cornwall Gentlemen Realized They
Had Found Brother.

Not many days ago two men who
had dined not wisely bu' too well
boarded one of the pay-as-you-enter
cars at the Grand Central.
The car started with very violent
suddenness--so violent that the two
CHEEKY gentlemen were thrown OF
their balance, landing in heap on top
of very solemn gentleman on one OF
the seats. This individual had been
in the car for some time, and had
preserved an austere solemnity of de-
meanor that was most impressive.
At once the two men who had lost
their balance became profuse in their
apologies to the solemn one.
ooh, m shoshorry--please 'scuse
me- requested one.

The solemn gentleman, who had
listened with magisterial severity,
now opened his mouth in turn and re,
marked benignly:
"Oh, thashallright. Car shtarted
like-hic- ket-thashallright."
For moment they looked at him
dazed; then their expressions changed
to delighted surprise. In him they
had recognized brother.
And when they got off few blocks

 DOG cATcHER-The dog catcher will be out and on the war path next Monday and any little or large dog gie that is found without a tag will be held until evening and then killed without giving the owner further time to pay the delinquency on the dog. Heretofore it has been the GUS tom to establish a dog pound and keep the dogs several days in order to give the owner some chance to get his dog back, but the plan here has never met with a great deal of success. owing to the fact that about every so often some one has either let the dogs out in the dead of night, or else set fire othe pound. So that this year the dogs will be killed on the same day that they are caught. It was the plan to send the dog catcher out a couple of days ago, but as this new plan materialized, the authorities thought best to give the owners of untaxed dogs an extra chance to procure tags so there will be no need of an excuse the coming Monday when the dog catcher ap- pears on the scene.

COURT LIMITS LIQUOR SALE
Holds Wholesalers Must Have License
and Establish Depot In
State.

PIERRE S. D., Nov. 2O.-(special)-The
decision of the supreme court, in an
opinion by Corson in the case of Paul
Jones Company against r. L. Yokum, lays
down drastic rules In regard to regu-a-
tion Of the wholesale liquor business in
the state. The holding Of the court is that
any sale or attempted sale on the part of
wholesaler who has not established
depot or warehouse at some point in the
state, and paid license at that point, is
a misdemeanor A warehouse is not neces-
sary in case the wholesaler pays the re-
quired license at any place where he makes
a sale, A note or account for intoXi-
eating liquors given to a company which
has not taken out a state wholesale Ii
cense is void and uncollectable This de-
cision practically cuts out the wholesaler
who has not paid his license in the state.
While It might be that he could make a
sale and collect cash at the time, this is
a misdemeanor, and the salesman places
himself subject to a fine. In the case
decided Yokum, who was a retail dealer
In this city, purchased goods to the amount
of nearly 500 from the Paul Jones COM
pany, a wholesale whisky house at Louis

HAD FAIR TRIAL
Statement by Nicaraguan Legation
Justifies Shooting of Pair.
ADMITTED PLACING OF MINES
Report says Both Cannon and GrOce
Confessed Trying to Blow Up
Nicaraguan Shops with
Dynamite.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Official con-
firmation today of the execution of
Cannon and Groce Americans, by the
Zealayan government, was followed by a
statement from the Nicaraguan legation
here, justifying the action on the ground
that the men confessed to placing mines
in order to blow up two vessels carrying
government troops.
The state department has just received
a telegram from the American vice con-
sui at Managua, in which he says the
Nicaraguan minister for foreign affairs
had informed him that the Americans,
who were executed on November 12 at
10 a. m, had made a confession, in which
they had admitted laying mines in the
San Juan river with the object of blow
ing up Nicaraguan ships The minister
also stated that the Americans were
tried by court-martial.
The American vice consul stated that
the commander-in-chief of the Nicaraguan
army and the minister-general ordered the
execution, which was ordered by Presi-
dent Zelaya.
The protected cruiser Tacoma has been
ordered to proceed from Guantanamo,
Cuba, TO Cristobal Panama. The gun
boat Marietta will be ordered to sail to
Port Llnon soon.
The statement issued by the Nicaraguan
legation, is in part, as follows:
'The Nicaraguan government informs
the legation that Leroy Cannon and
Leonard Groce. two well known adven-
turers, were taken prisoners at Rio San
Juan and pleaded guilty to locating mines,
in order to blow up two vessels carrying
government troops
''They were tried by military court,
given a full hearing and sentenced 10
death in accordance with military laws.
THE legation, while deploring this in
cident, feels confident that when the
facts are better known Il will be seen
that the military court did not exceed its
powers and that the relations between the
two countries will not suffer"
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov, 20.-The
parents of Leroy Cannon. confirmation
OF whose execution in Nicaragu was re-
ceived today. have decided to ask the
government to open negotiations for in
demnity from the zelayan government.
