Into the Hands Of the Enemy

IN small Western town private water
works company wanted to install big
plant to supply water for the residents and
for irrigatlng surrounding farms. The town.
although very poor. decided on municipal
control, and bonds were issued by the author
tiles for building the plant. There was not
much demand in the town for municipal
bonds. and the town decided that it would b.
a shrewd move if it could dispose of these
bonds to Eastern investors. So a bond SELL
ing agent of one of the big houses in New
York was enlisted in their services. After
explaining their position. they asked the
agent If he could dispose of the bonds to adj
vantage.
Sure" was his ready reply. II can sell
everyone of them. Investors are more than
anxious to buy municipal bonds. Ill take

This was little surprising. and at first the
authorities demurred They wanted to keep
some of the bonds at home.
But the bond agent said no. It's the
whole thing or nothing with me- The job
IS small enough as it is
The agent finally had his way. The bonds
were turned over to him for sale. and within
month they were all safely sold and the
town had the money to build the water

mission. and few inquiries had informed

troll of the John Marshall house, and
hereby expresses the hope that the

At late hour last night Governor

cases of any one of the eight murder
ers who are sentenced to die in the

week or the same day OF next week.
He worked the greater part of the
night on the records in some of these
cases, and it is presumed that he will
decide at least part of them this
morning. since the time Is growing
short for five of the men.
Although a statement was printed
yesterday afternoon to the effect that
the Governor had determined to give

last night that he had not made up his
