Reyes in More Trouble.-A report
from Chicago tells of a man named
Owen Young trying to enter a theatre
in the big city telling the guard he
had paid Thomas P. keyes S64S for
the ownership Of the place. The guard
refused 20 let him in, saying that
Keyes had never owned the place.
Young then had Keyes arrested for
trying to run confidence game. Tri-
city people will probably remember
Keyes, who not so very long ago was
in charge Of the Barrymore theatre
of this city. Keyes at that time got
into all kinds of trouble among other
crooked deals, having swindled Ster-
ling man out of several hundred dol
lars. His case will therefore be inter
esting to local people.

present reports the municipal contest
which will be settled at the coming
village election in Silvis will be one

the village ordinances. II. H. Cowles.

dent, has come out III a statement in
which he sets forth his pledges. The
