GAVE TELEPHONE
ANDlL|GHTS FREE

In giving credit where credit is due
in conenction with the staging of the
1912 Roundup, some mention must
be made OF the local management of
two Of the large public service cor
porations, the Pacific Power & Light
company and the Pacific States Tele-
phone &c Telegraph company. Not
only did both meet the increased de-
mands made upon their service but
pense in providing gratis accommo-
jations and conveniences which were
greatly appreciated.
Entirely without cost to the city or
the Roundup, DR.. F. w. Vincent.
manager of the power company, in
stalled the strings of street light for
the festival week and furnished the
electricity free of charge. Also his
company connected up the many Pull
mans which were parked in the o.
w. r. & y. yards and provided light
without cost. So great was the extra
work required in preparing for the
gigantic crowd that for a week all
VI Nlt COMPANY utIS NClS
kept busy.
Indicating the good work done by
the power company was its gas SER
vice. Though the gas tank here has
a capacity of only $4,000 cubic feet
a day. during the three days of the
Roundup it supplied approximately
$4,000 cubic feet DR.. Vincent gives
credit for this achievement to Supt
of Construction jerks who came here
to see the Roundup but, in order to
meet the increased demands for gas,
took off his coat and spent night and
day at the plant.
The normal amount of electricity
, used here each day is 335 kilowatts
according to DR.. Vincent but on Sat
urday there were 600 kilowatts con-
sumed.
Through the courtesy of Manager
Edwin Mabie of the telephone office
there were four telephones in use al
Roundup Park, two in the accom-
modation headquarters, one in the
Webb street camp grounds and eight
in special trains, all without cost
Mgr Mabie also maintained rest
booth just north of the O.-W r. &

with three telephones, mission
table. reding lamp and other con.
veniences.

wound in the head His automobile

on the floor of the machine immedi-
ately below. From that date until

had no clue as to whether the killing
was done by man or woman.
Under the guidance of George,
brother of Harry Barr, .3S caliber
revolver of cheap type was found in
the grass by Ltnnton road, 800 feet
from where the body was discovered
AMI blood stains We're also discovered
in the road opposite the spot where
the revolver was picked up.
One of the latest developments in
the Barr murder mystery was dec
larations of men that the deceased
had collected the day he was killed
about s400, all of which is believed to
have been on his person when ht
was killed.
The fact that he had $6S cash and
a gold watch left in his pockets is ia.
ken to indicate that robbers did the
deed and left some cash as blind.

in Rowboat and She
Disappears.

Chicago.-A pretty bather attired
in heliotrope silk bathing suit and
knickerbockers, shocked the guests
young woman took a plunge into the
water.
There were others who were
shocked besides the hundreds Of men
and women who noticed the woman
saunter toward the pier, just before
she took a dive into the surf
The person who was most surprised
YVES William Denney, manager and de-
tective of the beach. He prides him
self on the way that the beach has
been conducted since he took charge,
and when his attention was called to
the "heliotrope girl" the policeman's
esthetic tastes were crushed.
This will never do, you are violat-
ing every code in the city ordinance
covering bathing beaches" said Den
ney, as he ran over to the pier, where
the 'heliotrope girl" was majestically
swimming beyond the life lines.
"Hey, come ashore" shouted the 20.
iiceman, but the fair bather swan
further out into the lake. "She can't
swim around here" said Denney, as
he ran to shore and jumped into q
rowboat to overtake the swimmer.
The girl in the neliotrope colorcd
bathing suit noticed that the police
man was in pursuit, and she swan
toward Forty-seventh street, out Of
the range of his jurisdiction. and
climbed over the pier and disap-
peared.
None of the bsthers at the beach
know who the woman swimmer was.
but Policeman Denney said that IL she
ever attempts to take another dip. ne
will place her under arrest.
