ham BLAIn LOCKED UP

Ham Blaine, general all around
bad Indian is spending the day in
Jail. Blaine is supposed to have
been obtaining booze for some time.
Last night he was picked up by
officers Fernald and Sisco. Today
Blaine appeared before Judge Cas-
tie and confessed who was buying
booze for him. Blaine was remand.
ed back 70 Jail and a further con-
fession is expected. Heretofore
Blaine has admitted getting booze
but somehow or other he never
could remember who got it for
him. When he is drinking he is a
Dad Indian. About six weeks ago
he was before Judge Castle for
threatening to kill his wife but the
evidence at that time was not suffic-
lent to hold him. Blaine then ad.
mitted getting booze but did not
remember who gave it to him. This
time the officers have the goods on
him and together with the confes-
sion he made today it looks like
trouble for a certain party who
may soon fall into the hands of
the federal authorities. .

'C00DBY, B|sH0P!'
'GO0DBY, WATCH!'
Son of Inventor Edison Loses
Timepiece Bidding Farewell
to Pre|ate Friend


Bidding farewell to bishop is or
dinarily a ceremony unattended by
danger. but Charles Edison, son of the
inventor. lost a watch in the process.
Young Edison. who is in this city with
several eastern men in connection
with the proposed beach amusement
pier, learned Wednesday that Bishop
G. III. Brent of the Episcopal diocese
of the Philippine islands was leaving
that afternoon on the Chiyo Maru for
the orient.
The bishop and Edison have long
been friends. SO the latter lost no
time in jumping into taxi, and hur-
rying down to the docks to wish the
eminent divine bon voyage"
In the final helter skelter of leaving
the ship after the warning bell Edison
was standing at the rail, with his pre-
cious timepiece in one hand and the
palm Of the bishop tightly grasped in
the other.
"Goodby, bishop" cried Edison.
"Goodby, my son, and good luck
answered the bishop.
Just then an excited stranger dashed
by, jostling Edison's elbow.
"Goodby, watch" murmured Edison,
as his treasured chronometer dropped
into the bay.
