Unable to secure sureties to go on
his bond for $4,000, Attorney Fred II.
Thompson, who was arrested several
weeks ago on a charge of receiving
stolen property, failed to appear before
Police Judge Chambers yesterday for
his arraignment
Thompson and his wife, who is
charged with a like offense, when they
were arrested in Reno were taken be-
fore a justice there and deposited bail
in the sum of $500 to assure their ap-
pearance in Judge Chambers court
yesterday.
Mrs. Thompson, accompanied by her
attorney, Frank Dominguez, put in an
appearance in court at 2:30 o'clock and
gave bond for $4,000. Henry Norton, a
grocer, and w. e. Hutchinson, d
saloon keeper, are her bondsmen.
After putting up the bond she was
ordered to reappear in court at O'Clock,
at which time her husband was eX-
pected to appear, and be arraigned
and date set for their preliminary
hearing
Mrs. Thompson did not return to
court at that time, nor did her hus-
band appear Attorney Dominguez,
when asked the whereabouts of his
clients, stated he had not seen Mrs.
Thompson since she gave the bond.
AlLnOuSn thompson is Thought "
have reached Los Angeles two nights
ago from Reno, nothing has been seen
of him. 1t is thought he is being pro-
tected by friends until he can secure
bondsmen.
The arrest of Thompson and his wife
followed a confession made to the
federal authorities by Orlando F. AL
torre, postal clerk, who admitted taxi
ing $4,000 from the local postoffice on
June 2, 1909. After making the con-
fession Altore informed the officers
that Thompson, who was his attorney,
had taken $4,000 of the money from q
place where he had cached it. He also
said Thompson took the remainder Il
few months later.
That Thompson has left the city in
an endeavor to escape being prose-
cuted in secuted by those connected
with the case, and it is thought that as
soon as he can arrange for his bond he
will appear.
Several detectives were detailed to
find the accused attorney, and if he
can be located he will be locked up in
Jail until bond is furnished.

AS QUAKE ROCKS CITY
Seismic Jar Cracks the Walls of
Many Buildings in Euro
pean City

MUNICH, Bavaria, July 13.-A
sharp earthquake was felt here at 9:45
o'clock this morning. The walls OF
several buildings were cracked.
The wavelike movement continued
for three seconds, thoroughly terrify-
ing the people, who fled from their
homes and remained in the street long
after the disturbance had subsided.
. The shock was also felt in sur
rounding villages, including Garmisch.
A report from Oberammergau says the
shock was noticeable there, but that
little damage was done.

the effect of the disturbance was
greater than was at first thought.

cracked and the teachers and pupils
ran shrieking into the streets. The
municipal council ordered the school
buildings closed until they could be
thoroughly examined.

with the Christmas spirit much 10
the fore as the traditional feast draws
nigh, tho mercantile side of Whining
con wears q smile that is reflected in
all the store windows and from many
other places too.
So far as the store windows are
concerned they never were p-ettier.
There's a big display of all manner of
gift merchandise for old and young,
big and little. The things for the
little folks are much in evidence.
Sleds, dolls, drums, skates, toy loco
motives. that pull toy trains on toy
railroads, made over the sea in Ger

day. not that any youthful inspector
Of the merchandise expects to buy
anything of the sort, for it's the busi-
ness of Santa Claus TO bring such
things in his pack.
Away from the samples of Santa
Claus's stock In the windows there
are tens of thousands of dollars worth
of more valuable merchandise dis
played. The department and drygoods

Of fine things At night the show
windows look like fairy palaces with
glass fronts. About every feminine
want that can be anticipated. or-say
II softly-created has its soul-satis-
flying answer. No man would under
take TO name some of the things on
view to say nothing of describing
them, but the women know and they're
buying in solid battalions of beauty
wherever there's a hint In a window
Of sprightly things within. The stores
have taken on extra help and all
hands are busy with the merchandise
of the season.
The city has the traditional Christ
mas appearance. The snow helps this
some. Seldom has there been better
sleighing. Farmers and their fami-
lies are coming to town from many
sections. They come all the better and
merrier for the snow. The trade of
the surrounding country, over a
radius of many miles, has long been
factor in the Christmas business OF
| Wilmington. 1t was never better than
it is this year say the merchants.
Outside of the effect of the ap-
preaching Yuletide on business
churches, Sunday schools and vari-
Gus institutions are making ready foI
the annual day of good tidings and
good cheer Christmas trees and
green are beginning to arrive II
quantities. Many of these will be
consumed in church, Sunday school
and institutional decorations. In ad,
dition to the trees loaded with gifts
and ropes and wreathes used, FOL
purely decorative purposes, there will
be a generous lading of gifts on Al
the trees and much good cheer be
sides but this happens every year
The point is that the present Christ
mas promises in all relations of life
to be about as merry a one as evel
happened in Wilmington. Coming or
Sunday it will be a double holiday
for almost every business place in
the city will observe Monday as Z
