After a bitter dispute Treasurer
Clough, the county commissioner and
Mr.. Perkins, who was represented by

1t was shown that from time TO

had spent the mistaken surplus as his
own money.
No intimation of any fraud on the
part OF Mr.. Perkins was made.
AS a result of the meeting he agreed
to make good the shortage which
amounted to $1,000.
To raise this amount and meet GER

THERE IS NO CHARLEY HORSE

say he has the charley horse Now
I've been treating baseball players for
Is years, and in all that time have
seen only two cases of charley horse
The first case was brought in here l.
years ago by Jimmy McAleer-now OF
the Boston Red Sox- and he had it
bad. I've seen only one case since.
Charley horse was so named because
the horses that pulled the horse cars
used to get lame on the cobbles, and
couldn't use one foot, which simply
dragged after them. That was the
way Johnny McAleer came in here,
dragging one foot"
What about the pitcher?" the bone
setter was asked.

imagine, the pitchers come in here
with bum arms. The straight ball
pitchers throw their arms out and
strain the tendons in the shoulder.
