Lost Money on
Hillman Land

The first OF G. ID. Hillman's al
legged victims appeared In Judge
Donworth's court this morning as a
witness-Anton Gardner a butcher,
who had sold out his Iowa home
stead three years ago for ss,100 aud
sunk all the money In Boston Har-
Dor.
Gardner. a widower with seven
children, paid Hlllman $1,000 cash
for two lots which he was told were
worth s1.400. but which he found
later others were paying $500 for
on easy payments. He also put up
81 900 house.
Gardner was told, he testifies.

roads we're building TO Boston Har-
Dor and that many industries were

THE LINEUP.

The old age-long battle
Is on I'm Seattle,
The battle OF darkness and light;
Line up and be ready.
BE strong and be steady,
Line up on the side OF the right.
Which side do you train in?
The side with the brain in?
Or the side that rants wildly pro
y fame.
The side that's defending
The rot and the grating,
or those who say justice must
reign?
Just look down the lines--you--
Fall in where you wish TO,
But scan well the signs that don't
lie.
The buns and the gamblers,
The soaks and vice-mongers,
Are all In one line for old III.
Hurrah. then. for Dilling.
For clean and square dealing,
And down with all grating and lies
The vulture and the beastly
Must yield to the manly,
And virtue and character rise.
--Vigilx.

SCOUTS WILL TRAMP
TO ANDERSONVILLE
Will Make Return Trip On
the Train

An afternoon of rare fun and en-
joyment is in store for the Boy Scouts
of the city, who will take a jaunt to
Andersonville Saturday afternoon on
foot, returning on the early evening
train.
The trip has been planned by Sec
rotary Murray Dunn as one that will
afford much pleasure and helpful ex-
ercise to all the young people who
wish to enjoy genuine outing. The
boys will leave the Y NJ. c. A. build
ing at o'clock in the afternoon and
set out at once for Andersonville,
where supper will be enjoyed.
This plan of outdoor exercise has
many virtues to recommend it, as no
other form of exercise gives such nat
ural environments as does the cross
country jaunt, where every muscle
is brought into play and fresh air and
sunshine add their share of invigor-
ating elements to make the exercise
just what is most needed for young
sters.
All the Scouts who intend to take
the trip are urged to be on hand
promptly at o'clock at the Y. NJ.
C. A. building, so that the start will
not be delayed. The time allotted for
the jaunt is none too long, so that
it will be necessary to make the start
at the hour named. Each Scout is re-
qusted to take with him his supper
and sufficient money for a ticket.

POLICE COURT RECEIPTS
SMASHED ALL RECORDS
Nearly 5000 GafnerGd From
Offenders Monday

AS if in imitation of the weather, cot
ton receipts and other things, the re
ceipts in fines at the recorders court
Monday morning broke all records.
1t was discovered after the court had
closed and most of the various fines
had been adjusted that 1856 had been
received. This did not include all the
fines, as some of them have not been
collected. When all are received, the
total will probably amount to nearly
5000. which is cracking good days
work for a recorders court.
No explanation is given as to why
the receipts seem to have been so
large in this given date. The influx
of prosperity that has recently struck
Americas in the shape of plenty of
work for every laborer who would
make anything like an attempt 10
work, may be a part explanation.
But at any rate, the recorders court
IS certainly making good If it con-
tinues, it will prove one of the most
helpful sources of revenue for the city.
