was enough for Billy. He hung IN
the receiver and started out on the
street to spread the rich information.
The jolt he got when the right score
of 6 to 0 in favor Of Vermillion was
received was enough to awaken him
from his dream.
Albert Miner finally reached Mitch
ell, but a day late to attend the fun
eral of his father, G. H. Miner. AL
bert was 112 miles from a railroad
and the message announcing the
death of his father had to be taken
by courier, which was not delivered
to him until Saturday afternoon. He
Immediately started on horseback on
the return trip. He used six relays
of horses, and made the 112 miles
in about z hours, reaching Mitchell
on the delayed Milwaukee passenger

Mayor Hitchcock is trying to devise
some plan to catch the mysterious
individual or individuals who are
making pilgrimages to the various
parts of the city at frequent inter.
walls and is willing to listen to any
suggestion that will throw some light
on the solution. The police force
has been increased to patrol various
parts Of the city at night, but 90
far the mysterious ones have been.
able to operate without detection. It
seems to be a settled fact now that
there are two OF. these fellows, some
times working together and other
times going it alone. It DOESN'T
seem like enough men can be4puts on
to catch the parties, and It is rather
impossible to tell when they will be
out again.

O'Clock in the evening the young peo-

suited in a very delightful gathering
of young people. Refreshments were
served at 6 o'clock and the rest of the
evening was devoted to games of a
varied character into which all en-
tered with enthusiasm.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Truax, of Dix

Will Pier. of the First National
bank clerical force, had about ten
minutes of real solid enjoyment over
the alleged result of the football

had Won by a score of 3 to O.. He
had been pretty anxious all the af-

called up central a half dozen times

Bill Sees A Good Time.

Irvington, May IL, -Special-Wl-
liam Claycomb, of the Henderson
Route, at Irvington, has spent the past
week at Louisville on business. While
his trip to Louisville has been solely for
business, "Bill,' as he is Familiarity
known by his associates, found quite a
little time to take in the sights and note
the growth of the city. Bill says things
are advancing quite a little since his
last trip TO the metropolis. Amongst
the many he noted was a horse-less
carriage with gummy wheels and the
sky-scraper at Ninth and Broadway.
Bill also went down to Fountain Ferry
Park, and had to be directed to the de-
pot by one of Louisville's "Finest Sol
diers, as he claims, but he has ar
rived at his old stamping ground and
still doing the coal business up brown.
