HIS COLLATERAL

Some excitement was caused on an
electric train early last Saturday af-
ternoon by negro named William
Lomax, who boarded the train and re-
fused to pay his fare when Conductor
Mason approached him. He left the
train between Patrick and Alfred
streets, after assaulting the conduc-
tor and using ugly language towards
him and made his escape in an alley.
The police later arrested the negro
and conducted him to the station
house where he left collateral for his
appearance this morning. He failed
to appear when the case was called
and forfeited his deposit.

New Cattle Disease.

Arvonia, Va, Sept. 3.-Farmers and
dairymen throughout this entire sec
ton of Central Virginia are complain
ing of the new cattle disease which is
supposed to be "mycotic stomatltis,"
an intense inflammation of the feet
and mouths of the cattle. In most
cases the disease produces a stiffen-
ing of the animal and a contraction
of the muscles, making it difficult for
them tc move about. The milk sup
ply is cut off or rendered worthless,
and cows are no longer MIXED. IN
some cases in this section the cows
have died, though this is unusual, and
the animals get better after antisep-
tic treatment and keeping up and stall
feed for week or more.
The disease here is supposed to be
caused by fungi OF infected grass,
generally the lespideza, or Japanese
clover, which grows everywhere here
abundantly. 1t was at first thought
the disease was contagious and that
the germs were blown through the air,
but this theory was some time ago
disproven.

Mr.. President and gentlemen of the
City Council:
In obedience of the law and in or
der to avoid any complication which
might arise, I appeared before the
Clerk of the Corporation Court on
Saturday last and qualified, by taking
the oath of office, as Mayor of this
city. The law requires that the Mayor
shall on or before the first day Of
September, after his election in June,
qualify by taking such oath. The
first day of September falling on Sun
day as it did this year necessitated
this action. In appearing before you
it is not my intention to detain you
but for few minutes. The law re-
ouires that the Mayor shall from time
to time communicate with Council in
reference to such matters as pertain
to the city's interest; that law shall
be strictly carried out. After due
consideration l have decided to more
thoroughly acquaint myself with the
duties of the office before making any
recommendation. Therefore, at this
time I have nothing further to say,
other than, thank you for this oppor-
tunity OF appearing before you.
At the conclusion of the official
ceremonies Councilman j. Fred Birrell
presented to the new Mayor, hand
some floral horse shoe from the Col
lingwood Club of which Mayor Fisher
is member.

THINKS wARR NOT CRAZY

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.-Workipg
on the theory that Carl Reidelbach,
alias War;, alias Davis, who tried to
dynamite the Central police station
probably has accomplices. is the belief
of the detectives on the case today.
The reason for the belief is the in
genuity of the workmanship of the in
fernal machine. 1t is the general
opinion that one man would be unable
to construct so delicate a machine. The
police detectives do not believe the
man is crazy, but think they may trace
the scheme to a gang of yegg men.
He declared today that the news
papers are lying about him and that
when he is released he will dynamite
the newspaper buildings and kill the
newspaper men. The officers tomor-
row will take him to Bloomin gton to
locate the dynamite cache.
