HELD AN INQUIRY COURT.

On complaint received from
parties in Claflin and vicinity
that George Buchanan, the Claf-
lin marshal, had been engaged in
selling liquor, the county Off
cialS held a court of inquiry here
Tuesday which was attended by
a large number of people from
that section who had been sum-
moned to give testimony in the
case. Last week some parties
at Claflin were arrested and
convicted for violation of the pro-
hibitOry low, and it is claimed by
the friends of these parties that
the city marshal, who made the
complaint last week, was himself
engaged in the same business and
he was consequently put under
arrest, and his case will come up
for hearing in Claflin today.

Danny was proud to think he could
spend so cents TO show his devotion
to the kindest friend he had ever
known. &@a3%&s
For the present week, therefore,
Danny was wont to take his meals at
Z cheap beanery. There were items
on the bill Of fare that ran from four
TO seven cents. One evening he had
20 remain at the office overtime to
stamp some mail. Six o'clock found
him hungry with one-half an hours
work still undone. Danny went out
for a bite. 4 AS he passed down q
court running along the side OF the
building where the Office was located.
he noticed that the light In the room
Of the boss had been extinguished and:
the boss himself was just approach;
ing his automobile, the only one In
the solitary court.
Then there occurred something that
made Danny think OF a rapid moving
picture show, it was all done SO quick
". Three men had suddenly leaped
from a dusk doorway. One sprang TO
the chau1eur's seat. Two others "a.
.vanced upon MI. Ransom. They threw
q long coat over his head. lifted him
into the machine. stifled. his cries and
away dashed the auto.

movies!" gasped the petrified Danny.
In a fash he was after the speeding
machine. AS he ran an inspiration
came to him. He drew out his big
jackknife that was his constant com
panion,s caught at the knob Of the bag
gage box and chung there.
The automobile followed the court
then an alley and then curved into .,
public street. It was here that Danny
got ready for business. St$
He made c desperate lunge ct tho
nearest rear wheel. Bladedeep.
through outer and inner sheathings Of
rubber went the knife. There was .
hiss, then q frightful report. The
chauffeur caught the warning sound.
The auto :sidled On Z 35menacing slant.
Danny sprang free. yelled for the po-
lice, the car was surrounded and

Mr.. Ransom took Danny back to the
ONCE with him after the police had Sc.

There's something else" said
Danny, when the greater part OF his
story had been told-""there's Sweetie."
"Ah! what about Miss Deane, now
questioned the young business man..
with every token OF deep interest.
And Danny produced the letter
sheet. His eye sparkled as he knew
what he had long hoped-that Miss
Deane cared particularly for him. And
then rather amusedly he read the
scrawled words Danny had written:
Look before you leap"
Mr.. Ransom" observed Danny fer
vently, that's my motto, but you
don't have to look before you leap II
