A young son OF Joseph Barlow who

keep his hands out Of rural delivery
mail boxes In the future. The boys
last attempt was rather disastrous for
his fingers came in contact with the
trigger of steel trap and he was
found successfully hitched when the

Mr.. Harrington, who lives on r. f.
d. route No. 2 has been missing mail
for some time and in order to discov-
er the thief hit upon the novel plan
Of setting small steel trap in the
box. The scheme worked to perfec-
ton. Although Mr.. Harrington lives
at least a half a mile from the box
he knew that he had caught some
thing the instant that the trap clamp
ed on to young Barlow's fingers. The
youngster yelled SO Justify that he
could have been easily heard had the

The authorities are convinced that

similar act.

Yesterday during Mr.. Jones alb

to have lost the fun command OF his

He has never talked much, but he
liked to joke with his friends and
play tricks on them. Now he sits for
hours. bumped over like an old man.

he frequently rambles like a feeble

Another correspondent. who used
to so TO school with Jeff, complains
that the big fellow had forgotten his
name when he wanted to introduce
him to another friend. Some still
cling to the belief that Jeff was doped
lat Reno, and that he hasn't yet re-
covered, but most people think that
his present condition is simply the
result of the shock Of defeat

There Is a discrepancy in the
standing OF the teams OF the four city

According to the figures there have
been more games lost than won by
the four teams which is OF course, an
impossibility. Just where the error
was made has not yet been ascertain.

Bennington team Is correct. The er.
ror is probably located somewhere
In the rating OF the Jeffersonian team

misunderstanding in relation to the
number OF league games played by
these three teams each with the
