McNamara and There Should
be Considerable Stir
in Court Room.

Mayor Charles OF, against whom
an information was brought by Mrs.
Nora Morrissey charging him with
disturbing her peace and threatening
her ON the evening of last Monday,

court yesterday afternoon at o'clock.

was released on his own recognizance
by Judge w. l.. Mcnamara, The time
of trial was set for this afternoon at 3
0 clock

morning 4 le o'clock, as per request
of Major w. B. Collins, attorney for
the plaintiff. but the defense wished
to have appear as Witnesses several
Of the night police officers and they
could not come to court in the morn
ing
The filing Of the information against
the mayor and his arrest at his home
by the deputy marshal, was the one
topic of conversation on the streets
last evening, it being the first time
that a mayor had been arrested here,
for at least some years.
After reading the full account OF
the affair in The Cat City last evening
the public was possessed of the full
particulars in the case and the friends
Of Mayor Off were glad to find out
that he was not in jail for committing
a crime.
The mayor seemed to enjoy the stu
alton last evening Immensely, for he
joked about it and gravely accepted
the joking congratulations of his
friends that he had been able to get
out of Jail without bond.
While Judge w. l.. Mcnamara OF
the Superior Court is aware that the
case he has to try is somewhat I'm.
usual, yet thus far it has been dealt
with as any other that has come be
fore him. and no exceptions are being
maile whatever

NEW MILEAGE
BOOK TO APPEAR
To be Issued About Jan and Will be
Sold For 500 Matter of
Convenience.

Railway officials have decided to
discontinue the use of all existing
mileage books beginning January 1,
1910 and to substitute therefor new
mileage book containing coupons for
1000 miles. This book is to be sold for
$40, and will be good on trains. No one
but the purchaser will be entitled to
| its use, and description and sigma
ture are to be used for Identification.
The new mileage book will go on
sale about January 1, and will be
good on every road which may desire
to become member and thus make
the book good over all its lines. 1t is
expected that all railroads west Of
Chicago will join in the movement so
that it will become possible for the
holder of the book to make an inter-
line trip to almost any point in the
west. There will be no reduction over
the regular legal passenger rate, so
that there will be no inducement to
buy the book to save money.
Each coupon in the book will cost
the traveller cents, but, when travel
ing in states where the legal fare ex-
ceeds Q cents mile, single coupon
will not be good for mile of travel
In 21a-cent states five coupons will
entitle the holder to travel four
miles.
