younger engaged the,man in conversa-
ton Of q hattefing nature while the
older one took the opportunity TO rifle
the cash drawer.
Lime followed the bnnd from place

them IN the outskirts OF Putnam. He
pointed out the woman in the bnnd
whom he alleged stole his money but
they refused 70 look at him unless he
had some token of authority. Captain
Murray went with him and the leader
of the band came across to the salts.

Send Comfort Kits
To French Soldiers

A cable message received at the La
Fayette Fund Headquarters in the
Vanderbilt Hotel, yesterday brought
the news that 5000 of the comfort
kits being sent by this organization to
the French soldiers, were delivered to
them personally in the trenches last
Sunday. This news came from Ralph
j. Preston member of the La Fay

representing the Fund in Paris and who
directed this distribution Of the kits.
With Mr.. Preston in the trenches were
two other Americans, Herman Harjes
and Oscar Beatty.
General Castelnau, Of the French
Army, received and entertained this
party at lunch and dinner in bomb.

Messrs. Preston, IIaries and Beatty
were distributing the kits TO the sol
diers they came under severe artil-
lery fire. Gen. Castelnau expressed
deepest gratitude for the relief work
being done by the La Fayette Fund.
Comment was made upon the prompt.

cedence over the La Fayette Kits in
transportation from IIayre to the
trenches. More than $4,000 Of the com
fort kits have now been delivered to
the men in the trenches
The cable declares the soldiers were
delighted with the kits and that the
corncob pipes were novelties they did
not at first understand. Suggestions
from the soldiers, at the request Of the
Americans were that as warm weather
is setting in, some Of the heavy arti'
cles for winter wear be eliminated
from the kits and more socks, pipe
stems and tooth powder be substituted
Aprop0s Of this, the announcement is
made by the La Fayette Fund that
the contents Of the kit will soon be

numerous others are to be sent

Tile Co. Makes Round
Blocks For SilOs

A new industry that has everything
in its favor has just been undertaken
by the Salem Tile and Mercantile Co,
at their kiln near the fair grounds.
This industry is the manufacture of
silos from ventilated or hollow building
blocks.
In order to properly manufacture a
curved block for silo, the company
have just received special machine
which will cut curved hollow block
of right size for silo from 10 to 16
feet in diameter. This machine was
shipped from New York and cost the
company over 5000.
The advantage of the hollow block
in the construction of sios is not only
in the matter of ventilation, but also
in the fact ehat the dead air space in
the blocks keeps the building dry and
acts as a protection alike from the
heat in summer and the dampness in
| winter.

be neld officially responsible for dam
ages caused by any overt act which
they may have committed in their of.
fetal capacities, they might be held
personally liable for damages resulting
from the execution of their orders, two
former saloon keepers Of Copperfield,

Governor West and former Warden B.
X. Lawson, of the penitentiary, for
damages alleged to have been sustained
by reason of the raid upon and contls-
cation of their properties about a year

cover damages was thrown out of court
on the ground that Governor West and
Warden Lawson could not he held re-

that an action for pecuniary damage
