just as we were about to start and

gypsy, breathless and tagged, reached
the hallway of the apartment. She

Inez and myself going out. She
dropped back into the convenient shell

evidently carefully prepared just what

 The mere sight of a level or transit fascinated Charles Schwab as a child. An opportunity to carry a bundle of stakes for the local surveyor was well comed as greater pleasure than fish ing as he grew older. At sixteen he was working round" for farmers. then driving 8 stage over Pennsyi- vania hills and eventually elerktnE in a general store. Here he waited on Capt Jones, then superintendent of a nearby steel works, and to him con fided his ambition of becoming a Civil engineer and the fact that he had saved most of his earnings

Words Lead to Arrest.


 Words about the condition of af- fairs at the railroad station last Sat- urday morning, said by a man who had occasion to accompany his little daughter to a train, resulted on Thursday morning in the appearance of Mathew Geary, the special officer and train announcer at the depot be- breach of the peace and assault. The complainant in the case was Con- stable Chauncey E. Macfariane. Both MT. Geary and Mir. Macfarlane are well known residents of the com- munity and whatever happened at the time in question at the depot con- sist of two stories. The contention of Constable Macfarlane is that what ever he may have said relative to the service. given. the public here at the station by the railroad company was not addressed to MT. Geary and that using abusive language, and then struck him on the nose. MT. Geary's side of the affair is that the remarks of Constable Macfariane were annoy ing to passengers and that MT. Mac farlane was the aggressor in the clinching. MT. Geary denied in court that he had struck Constable Mac farlane on the nose. Constable Mac farlane contended that MT. Geary was the aggressor in the matter. Four men who happened to witness the af- fair told the court that they did not hear much about what was said at the time but they did see the clinching. MT. Geary was found guilty, by the court, of both counts, breach of the peace and assault. A nominal fine of S1 and costs was imposed on each count. MT. Geary who was repre- sented by Lawyer Patrick J. Danahey gave notice of an appeal to the su-
 
 at $200. MT. Geary did not have to seek any bondsman. He produced s$200 in cash to the court which the latter accepted and which will be held until the case is disposed of in Sep tember.
