tOILING STREETS
AND THE RESULTS

The following clipped from the
Marysville (Ohio) Tribute, will in
terest those who are considering
testing the use of oil on some of the
streets of this city: =
fredericksburg lis having it's
streets oiled, and according to the
following, which is taken from the
Mechanicsbury Telegram, the oil is
giving very good satisfaction:
1.-THE residents of West Main and
High streets are beginning to like
the oiled streets better every day.
The oil is gradually soaking into the
ground, and since the loose dirt is
beginning to pack, the street is get
ting smooth and not a particle of
dust raises as the vehicles go over
it. The oil and dirt does nor adhere
to the shoes, as was feared at first. :"
This is another argument fer
sprinkling some of Marysville's
streets with oil. The matter was
thoroughly discussed at council meet
ing. Thursday evening, and it was
suggested THAT if the city would
sprinkle West Fourth street, from
Maple to Grove, the commissioners
might be induced to treat the boule-
ward in a like manner. The matter
was referred to the street commit
tee, of which W. H. Snodgrass is
chairman, and City Engineer Alvin
Graham. to investigate and report.
"Oil for sprinkling purposes costs
about three cents per gallon, and

Hustled owned a farm of eighty
acres at North Greenwich, and, it is
said, had lately refused am offer of
$4,000 for the place He was pros
porous and devoted his whole time
to his farm. He awoke from nap
about O'Clock yesterday and told
his wife that he felt queer, having
just had bad dream.
Hustled sent her on an errand to a
neighbor. Lester was in the garden
and the other three children were at
school Soon after Mrs. Hustled left
the house, her husband called Lester
and asked him if he had seen hawk
fly over the chicken yard. The boy
said that he had MOT
He called the boy ITO the kitchen
and, picking up a double Darrell shot
gun which he always kept loaded in
one corner of the room, he laid it
on the kitchen table, told the boy
to pull the trigger, as he wanted
to see how it sounded.
The man knelt on the floor ON the
opposite side of the table, c'ocked che
eye and looked directly into the muz-
zle of the gun, which was but fuor
inches away. The boy hesitated and his
father said it wasn't loaded, so the
boy snapped the trigger, but let
them go easily holding them with
his thumb, and the piece didn't ex-
plode.
His father arose, took the rifle
from the table, cooked it again and
laid it back in the same position,
while he got on his knees and again
looked into the barrel.
1T is not loaded; pull the trigger
and see how it sounds" he again
told the boy
The boy lid so and the fatherl
dropped dead Instantly, the whole
left side of his head blown off.
Horror stricken, the lad rushed TO
his nearest neighbor, Daniel Ryan,
and told him about what he had done.

which he was the director had PIE

District Attorney Smith and repeated
her story so that when the five rri
soners We're arraigned before the In
tied States commissioner, the Cover

knowledge Ct the plans of the gang
of men.
The diamond tooth queen who
was the key to the operation Of the
gang, was not placed under arrest, as
erroneously stated, and under the law
cannot be prosecuted or forced to
testify against her husband. She gave
this information voluntarily. Mrs.
Glenard said the gang had engaged
flat in Hoboken, and THAT the en-
graver worked in an inner room
which was very dark-and he only
worked at night. The IS bills. she
said, were to be printed on bond

through the press. Four impressions
had to be taken, but it required about
