Friday. Early was granted a
franchise last May. The council
at first asked for a $500. 90 forfeit.
Early asked that it be lowered to
$4,000 and the council after

consented. He was given sixty
days in which to commence the
erection of his plant. His sixty
days was up the 10th of July.
On August 18th at his request he
was given thirty days from that

CONFIDENCE MAN
AWAITING TRIAL
Man Who Changes Names Often TO
Secure Goods Without Paying for
Them is in Jail.

lHeHi Is Il Jdll
| Sheriff Kennedy returned last Fri
day morning from Levanon, Missouri
where he went the Monday previous
to get a man who was here on
June first and claimed to represen
a commission firm in Denver. Wher
the man was here he claimed tha
his name was F.. f. Parker and thai
he was out representing Parker Bros
Commission firm of Denver and
was shipping produce to them. He
obtained $4,000 worth of eggs from
Walter Harris and wrote him a sight
draft on the Parker Commission firm of
Denver. When the draft reached
Denver the bank marked it no funds
and informed Harris that no such
firm was doing bushes in Denver
He also ran a hotel bill of about $15
at the Grand Central and paid it
with one of his worthless sightdrafts
Information was received here
which indicated that he was under
arrest in Levanon and was serving
jail sentence. Harris went to Le
vanon on September 5th and identi-
fled him as the man who had gotten
his eggs on June 1st. Sheriff Kennedy
went to Jefferson City with requisi.
ton papers and returned Friday
morning with his man.
When here in June he claimed that
his name was F.. e. Parker. In Mis-
souri, he went under the name OF
F. E. Bell, and it is reported that
he has been operating in Kansas un
der the name of f. E. Green. Judge
Shinn is looking after his case and
his preliminary trial will not be set
until he can get an attorney from
Lincoln.

The town of Hershey stands al
most in the center of 1900 acres o
file farming land, with here ant
there tracts of timber, away off tC
the north stretches the Blue Noun
tains, shrouded in hazy mist. The
country is like rolling pararn, beauti
fled by stately trees and fine farm
homes. All the land within the range
OF ordinary vision is owned by the
chocolate manufacturer, Hershey, who
owing to a combination of unfortu
nate circumstances, he was obliged tC
throw up the idea of making that
place his perman home. He re
turned to his native state, to Ian.
caster, in the vicinity of his present
home, where, after some years of trials
AID successes, he finally sold out
at a handsome figure and at once
began to invest the proceeds in farms
until now he owns and controls 100
acres in the center of which is the
pretty new town of Hershey. There
are Hershey houses, Hershey stores
Hershey Trust Co. or bank, Hershey
public schools, eighteen miles of Her

few kindly disposed passengers, we
succeeded in finding standing room

 The Canadians won their iffst game away from home, tdmmed the league leaders on their own diamond played the beat game ever, and incidentally stepped into 3 lie for fifst place, last Saturday.
 Ri,ard again failed to appear and Tatro covered himself with glory by holding ibe Ro4eDuds to five hits. His support was gilt edged and the Colts altogether had the appearance Of an al star cast.i
 John Fields started in to do tn backstop work for Taftville but did mol show up well. The crowd called for Mofin. who seems 10 have made bit with the bleaehers. lie was given hand on his first time np. He went behind in the 9th and caught good game Boucher didn't appear lo have his usual speed.
 Painam got man around in the first. Iarlon fstafted with A single through short, stole and went up on Field wild throw to second. Di0tts brought him over with a sacrifice fly io left shaw reached third on q single and wild throw by Fields to catch him of first. Talro WIS the third out en foul fly to his namezake at first.
 In the second il looked good for an. other run when Gagne was hit aud went to third on two passed balls. Boucher got out of this hole by fam ing Pepin and making the next two batters pop up easy files.
 Norwich tied III their hall Casey singled and siele. Tatfo brought hin os.r with Il long single to center
 Putnam toek lne lead again in the third. Marion again singled and slole and Diotle's single let him over. We aaded another in the ith. Gagne hit slow one 10 short, went down on Il passed ball, to third on Pepin's out and scored on passed ball.
 The last run came in the 9th after two were down. Shaw got double md scored on Tatro's single To right.
 Meanwhile ,Benoit's band had not seen second. Then came the lth. IL had been worrying the players and the few Putnam fans. Iabelle fumbled Casey's gronndef ard he stole. He ..9...t m. .x.4 4. na.sa1 hall and xaar.d a,, Boucher's single.
 Benoil had taken the coaching lins md the crowd were doing their best ite rattle Putnam by continuous yelling Tate was apparently uneoncefned and steady as rock. There were two down in the sth when Gasne made nice one hand stop of Morin and spoiled il by wild throw. Mofin stole and scored on Gfeenwood's double.
 The Canadians filled the bases before anyone was out Tn the sth but couldn' I score. Mnrion's grounder to Boucher forced pepin al the plate and the next two went down en flies, although Dubruiel ought To have scored on Diutte's fly to center.
