This is Thomas Devlin, 20 years
old, of st. Paul, MINI, who Is out
of work in San Francisco. He has
been here since July IA, 1911, and
has had only one steady job. This
he got abter a diligent search OF
two months; it was polishing sill
verware in hotel for S35 a
month. He held this job two
months and a half and then gave
Ii up to a fellow worker.
This man, a foreigner, had a
wife and two children to support.
He was only filling in temporarily,
and when they let him out, he
shook his head sadly and said:
MY wife, she seek. / no can
find another job. I don't know
what / gonna do"
To help him ont, Devlin gave
him his steady job, saying that he
could easily find another, but he
hasn't found II yet.
The city is swarming with &c.
600 men all in the same condition
looking for a steady job.
They, like Devlin, have been
brought here by the false impress
sion created by the railroads in the
east that there is plenty of work
In San Francisco on the Fair.

CHAPTER v.
The Mercy Sign-Two.

Some days after the recovery of
the houseboat, Average Jones sat
at breakfast, according to his Gus
tom In the cafe of the Hotel Pa
latia. Several matters were trou-
bling his normally serene mind.
First of these was the loss of the
trail which should have led to
Harvey Craig. Second, as minor
issue, the Oriental papers found in
the deserted Bellair street apart
ment had been proved, by trans
lation, to consist mainly OF revo-
lutionary sound and fury, signify
ing, to the person most concerned,
nothing. AS for the issue of the
Washington daily, culled from the
houseboat, there was, amidst the
usual melange of social, diplo-
matte, political and city news, no
marked passage to show any rea-
son for it's having been in the pos
session of Smith" Average Jones
had studied and restudied the
columns, both reading matter and
advertising, until he knew them
almost by heart. During the Pc
roid of waiting for his order to be
brought he was brooding over the
problem, when he felt a hand
pressure on his shoulder and
turned to confront Mr.. Thomas
Colvin Mcintyre, solemn of coun-
tenance and groomed with a SUI

There was nothing else. Gins
gerly, Average Jones detached the
sign. The cabinet proved to be
empty. He pushed rock into
1t, lifted 1t on the end of a stick
and dropped 1t overheard. One afs
ter another eight little fishes
glinted up through the water
turned their white bellies to the
sunlight and bobbed, motionless.
The investigator hastily threw
away the label and cast his gloves
after it. But on his return to the
city he was able to give a repro
duction of the writing to Profess
sor Gehren which convinced that
anxious scholar that Harvey Craig
had been alive and able to write
not long before the time when the
household was set adrift.

POLICE CHIEF
SUED FOR $3.50
S. B. Hutchinson Defendant in Suit
Filed by Nick Poulas.-Charges
False Imprisonment. - Was
Arrested as a Gambler.

A civil suit was filed yesterday af-
ternoon with Justice John H. Hill by
Nick Poulas against Chief of Police
Shepherd B. Hutchinson for $3.50.
The trial has been set for Thurs
day, March IA.
The cause of the suit is an alleged
false imprisonment of Poulas: With
seven other Greeks, Poulas was ar
rested last week and housed in the
city Jail for IL hours or more and
later discharged. He says that the
chief of police knew that he was not
guilty and incarcerated him without
right and at great expense to him in
business and in feelings.
The trial of the case will excite
considerable attention because of the
popularity of Poulas among the
Greeks and the prominence of the
officer.

ENGINEER DANIELS
KILLS HIMSELF TOD[I
One Of Best Known Reclamation Experts in Western Colorado
Blows Out His Brains at Home in the Paradox Country
Was Well Known in Grand Junction.

This afternoon The Sentinel re-
ceived a message announcing that II.
L. Daniels, formerly and for sew
eral years superintendent of the work
at the River Portal of the great
Gunnison tunnel project, and the en-
gineer who staked out the route
through Gateway, this county, into
the Paradox country. had killed him
self this morning about 10 o'clock.
Engineer Daniels had often visited
in Grand junction and was exceed
ingly well known here. He had
been warm personal friend of Pro-
Ject Engineer Miner, of this city,
for number of years.
The tragedy took place at the
home of Mr.. Daniels at Paradox this
morning. at Just what hour is not
known. He was Just recovering from
an attack of typhoid fever. He had
been i'll for some six weeks. but
was able to be up and about. This
morning quite early Engineer Dan
iels' wife and little baby went down
to Bed Rock, a few miles away. for
a visit with some friends. About
noon they returned home. On re-
turning to the house Mrs. Daniels
was horror sticken by seeing blood
trickling down through the ceiling
from the room above. Rushing up
stairs she saw her husband dead on
the floor in a pool of blood. In his
right temple was bullet hold and
at his side lay revolver. The body
was still warm, indicating that the
deed had been committed but a short
time before. Mrs. Daniels alarmed
neighbors, but the well known civil
engineer was beyond the help of
human agencies.
The only reason that can be as
signed for the terrible deed is de-
spondency over his recent Ill health.
The deceased was about 40 years
of age. He came TO Colorado good
many years ago. He was employed
in an official capacity on the Gun
nison tunnel during the years it was
under construction.
For the past year he had been
in charge of the work on the big
West Paradox irrigation proposition
in which Messrs. Marsh. Kyle and
other Montrose county men are. in
terested. Mr.. Daniels also was one
of the owners of the big proposition.
He voluntarily resigned from the
reclamation service to take charge of
this work.
