tanned hat and pair of shoes identified
as Gardeners. It is believed Gardner was
demented and lived in this old mill until

Shore Electric Company. For several
months he had been experimenting the
erection of a new power plant here. and

from good JOBS on appraisal of land 1or

that the sentiment for Gaynor was strong.
But there is much continent for Con

his enemies in Buffalo We're going to pre-
vent his going to the state convention as
delegate. 'T guess l will he able to go

,,Yon il as direct threat that he might
support the Republican ticket this fall un-
less he should have some say as to the
Democratic slate.
