John Piorpont, better known as
BAT Eye, the King OF the News
boys" arrived in the city from the
West today. He called at police
headquarters and obtained permission
to perform some card tricks on the
public square for the next several
days.
Pierpont is one of the best known
freaks" in the country. He is in IL
class by himself and to say that he
is clever, would be putting 1t very
mildly. He visited Marion about one
year ago and demonstrated his abil-
ity for selling newspapers by dispos-
ing of 500 in one evening.
The popular newsboy has learned
number of new card tricks He
was once poker shark but gave up
the game, preferring to earn liv-
ing by more honest methods.
Mayor Setter never heard from Dry
Detectives Edward Rist and Jack
Powers who spent about two weeks
in Marion a few months ago. Since
the ordinance providing for an APP
preparation of twenty-five per cent
from the city fine fund to be used in
prosecuting Rose law violators, was
turned down by the city council,
Mayor Setter is not particular wheth-
er or not he ever sees them again.
According to the arrangement made
with the detectives, they have some
thing coming as they were to receive
neat little hunk out of every fine
which was collected. 1t Is u ques-
ton as to whether or not the de-
tectives will ever put in any claim.
Their manner of leaving the city
was little irregular and the local
police have something on them If
they ever show up in this vicinity
again.
A young girl, who has been too
permiscious with her affections, was
| brought into mayors court this
morning. 1t Is claimed that she had
been mingling with Italian section
hands and that her conduct was very
disgraceful. The mayor and police
chief gave her severe lecture and
sent her home.

They were given twenty days each

Just at this time the district about
Frederick is resting on powder

would cause to go off. and the depu-
ties from the sheriff's office are TAX

Question Of Ten Cases OF Eggs

Says Not Received

What would you do in the event
that you one day received ten cases
OF eggs you had never ordered?
And what would you do. more
over. II after you had refused to ac-
cept said eggs you were forced to
pay for them just the same?
This 10 the question which ]. O..
Erickson, the grocerymal, Is trying
to work out and will through his
attorneys appeal the case to the
county court from the justice court
at Ault where he was yesterday or
dered to pay $54 for said eggs.
In fact Mr.. Erickson Is sure he is
the victim of bunco game but so
is e. ]. Gafner OF Ault who sent him
the eggs and Mr. Gamer decided he
would have to get the money so he
brought suit against Erickson.
Some days ago a travelling man
giving his name as Hale went to
Ault and ordered ten cases of eggs
from Gafner who is meat market
man in that town and named Erick-
son of Greeley as the man to whom
they were to be shipped.
Hale left town and Gafner OBJ
tanned the ten cases OF eggs and
shipped them to Erickson. Erick-
son. 80 it is alleged, refused to re-
ceive them.
In the meantime the man Hale
got busy and had they shipped on
to Denver. so 1t Is said, where 1t is
supposed that he sold them to a
wholesale commission man and
pocketed the coin.
In the meantime Gafner was out
the eggs and Erickson was sued.
The case came up in Ault yesterday
and Erickson WAS ordered to pay

In keeping with the move

and as a result there is un-.

feeling throughout the eouh-
