HORSE ON A BUYER
Edward Bollaere Scents Bunko
Game and Has Trader
Arrested.
FALSE PRETENSEs CHARGE
Nc pey Is Returned and Complainant
Pays Costs-Worthless Check
Gets Man in Trouble.

Police Magistrate C. ]. Smith had a
weighty case on hand this afternoon
when Frank McCafferty. horse trad
er, was brought before him on a
charge of obtaining money on false
pretenses. The complainant was Ed
ward Bollaere. The latter had given
sum of money to a friend and ordered
him to buy horse with it and to keep
SIS of the amount as a commission.
The agent went to McCafferty and Sc
cured horse for $102. The horse was
not magnificent specimen and the
agent was just little doubtful if his
employer would fall for the transac-
ton. The horse trader assured the
agent, however, that if the horse did
not prove satisfactory, it could be re-
turned back and the purchase price
would be paid back. The horse was
then turned over to Bollaere and he
used it for several days hitched to q
plow. Today he decided that he had
been beaten, and without making any
attempt to get his money back, he
had McCafferty arrested. The case
was dismissed Bollaere was paid
back his $102 and he stood the costs
of the trial.
Held Under Heavy Bonds.
Frank Sullivan was arrested last
night after trying to pass a worthless
check for SO at the New Harper. The
check could not be called a forged one
because Sullivan signed his own name
on it and took a chance on passing it
without 1t being discovered that he
had no credit at the bank. The check
was on the State bank OF this city.
Sullivan admitted having signed the
check and also that he had attempted
to pass IL, but said that he was drunk
at the time and that he did not know
what he was doing. Magistrate Smith
decided to hold him TO the grand jury
we're fixed at $1,000. He was unable
to furnish this bond, and the result
was that he has joined Sheriff Kttil-
sens force of star boarders at the
county Jail. The charge against him
Is one Of attempting to obtain money

BRYSON & HAMILTON
GET THE CONTRACT

The town council, at a special
meeting held last Wednesday
night, awarded the sidewalk con-
tract to Bryson & Hamilton.
This means both the grading and
the concrete work. Two mem
bers of the board voted to give
the concrete work to Edwards &
Blythe, but it seemed to be the
opinion of a majority of the board
that it would be more advisable
to have one firm responsible for
the entire contract.
A heavy bond will be required
and grading will begin as soon
as the engineers maps are ready.
Bryson & Hamilton have the
reputation of doing well anything
they undertake and the interests
of the taxpayers will be well
guarded by this reputable firm,
in the carrying out of this i'm
portant contract.

WANTS BOND ISSUE
FOR GOOD ROADS

One of the best known men in
Henderson county says:
IF the people of Henderson
county will vote a bond issue of
$500, 600, pave the roads for five
miles out, they will soon see
houses built on ali these roads,
will find farm land treble in value
and will find that the increased
valuations will take care of the
bonds. They wont have one dol
lar of it to pay themselves.
There is absolutely no good
reason why this should not be
done.
There has been a great change
in sentiment all over the county
in this respect. Our people are
awake to the necessity and the
advantages of good roads. 1t
would treble real estate values,
bring the farmer three times as
close to town as he now is and
attract immigration. =

Nj. B. v. Marshall Cured.

Mr.. B. w. Marshall, of Mar

residents of this county, has
gone into a new enterprise.
Mr.. Marshall, as everyone
knows, has long been in i'll health.
He has spent a fortune with
physicians, but his present good
health is due to a preparation of
his own Four Barks. =
The beneficial results obtained
by Mr.. Marshall, Frank King,
Joe Garren, w. III. Phillips and
many others of our home folks
from the use of -Four Barks"
have been so remarkable that
Mr.. Marshall has decided to put
his preparation upon the market
and it is now sold here at the
Rose Pharmacy.
Four BarkS' as a cure for
colds, grippe, ETC., is wonder
fully effective It is very bene-
fetal for indigestion. liver and
kidney troubles. It is guaran-
teed by Mr.. Marshall and money
will be refunded if good results
are not obtained.
It is made of Natures own
remedies, and, as stated, the re-
suits obtained from its use are
really remarkable.

Board of Town Commissioners
could afford to give the contract
for the grading and cement side

Of course I do not mean to say
that for every yard of cement

for of course the grading will
vary, but there will be some

Now, why could they not let
