berry. Mr.. Bren shouted to him as lie
came up from the ravine. Raab called
police headquarters and detectives re

not seen any one on the path.
The story told by Mr.. Rren is dis
puted in part by O., P. Lilley, who
keeps the Seven Corners hotel. He
had been taking treatment at the Syee
dispensary and says he was crossing
the Washington avenue bridge this
morning at the time of the alleged
robbery. Mr.. Bren said that the two
men who took the satchel ran to the
bridge, about 1000 feet away, and
after he had been released by the mar
who held him he ran to the top of the
embankment, about fifty feet away

the two men running across it. Mr.

at the time and that two men did not
run or walk across the bridge, and
that only one man was on the bridge

Those Fats and Leans
Are the Real Goods

The game Tuesday between the
Fats and Leans was a scream from
start to finish and by all means
should be staged. The Leans won
In innings by a score OF p to %.
The players on each side did their
stunts well-acrobatically speaking.
Hem. the Fats pitcher has evidently
twirled the sphere before. Chapman
was the only Fat to try on IA suit
though 1t was hard to find one OF
sufficient breadth to envelope his ca
pacious abdomen, but by using rope
suspenders the difficulty was over
come. He made several sensational
stops at first. In one instance he
deity caught "A hot liner in his shirt
pocket, although 1t Jared him some
he was aware that he had become
famous.
The Others OF the Fats did equally
well and there were many laughable
stunts pulled OFF.
The Leans played like a streak and
looked like 1t when they flew around
the bases. Axford was In the box for
few innings but retired in favor OF
Maxwell. Bob Haley walked out to
rap the ball and when Hem put over
n swift one he addressed the ball
very politely and said shave" then
blsuhed when Rinehart. the big, little,
fat one behind the bat laughed.
Ed Curtis and Johnnie Miller took
tnrns at third and Were applauded
often. Dewoody saluted several flies
which came his way. wootton ran
down several fast ones at short and
seemed tn feel awfully hurt when he
would fall TO connect with the ball.
We would advise Naxville to play
with his back to the batter and stop
the ball on the rebound from the
back stop. they're not so hot.

v 10 Did IT?
Have You Been a Factor IN
This Movement? If not
Get Busy Now

Some weeks ago whe had an ar
ticle In the Progressive on the policy
of the Business Mems Climb. We called
attention to the work that had been
accomplished by that body. We re-
fered to the work on the Park, the
hall team and the Band. Any one
who will take a, walk to the park
will be convinced of the benefit of
this enterprise. The ball team is
making a splendid showing, and are
worthy ofgood support. The grand
stand at the ball ground Is the last
but by no means the least improve
ment started by the club This 10
certainly going to be much appreciat-
ed by the people II we are to Judge
by the number OF people who were
on hand to get seats at the game
Tuesday between the fats and the
leans. But not withstanding the
rood work of the club, and especially
os some OF the Individual members.
there still remains number OF the
business men who have not lined up
In the work. We do not know their
reasons. for not doing so. perhaps
they are good ones. but we do be-
lleve n they would look at the mat
ter fairly they would see IL to their
advantage To stand side by side with
the men already enlisted. Any enter
prise that tends to better the general
conditions, or benefit the masses ID
worthy OF the efforts OF enterpris-
ing business men. Men some times
get into a habit of thinking the 9TH
er fellow will see that such things
will lie done. and thss seemsfo br the
case here, but have these men ever
stopped To ask who dit IL. or to ask
tn. -nseiver what part Of these things
can he credited to them
We believe any busin ~ man can
afford to spend IA few hours once In
two weeks to attend the meetings OF
the club. Men who have never been
present will receive a hearty welcome
at the meetings, and will feel better
after havii shown their interest In
trying TO make an aggressive town.
Men used to sell goods, and trade
horse In towns where the only decor
ations were mullen stalks and dog
fennel. and the public improvements

the burglars threw to the winds the In
genius methods of Valentine and cracked
the safe in an old-fashioned way, using
high explosive and wet blankets TO deaden
the sound.
The robbery took place when Philip Jano-
