CAPE MACHINIST FRISkE
Robber Unable to Find Money. Spares
Vincent Wagner's Lunch.

While passing through the Frisco
yards OF his way to work at the ma
chine shops few nights ago, Vincent
Wagner, machinist helper, was con-
! fronted by stranger who appeared
from between two cars, and thrusting
a large revolver into the face of the
startled youth, demanded that ne
throw up his hands.
Wagner obeyed the instructions
without question or delay, and while
he stood with arms extended high
above his head the highwayman pro-
ceeded deliberately to go through his
pockets.
Wagner was quick to regain his
compOsure and when the robber reach
ed the packet that contained his mid
night lunch, the young mechanic en-
treated him not to disturb the package
as it contained his lunch and he did
not feel like he could go through the
night without something to eat. He
assured the robber that he had no
money but invited him to take any
thing he could find Just so he left his
supper.
The plea appealed favorably to the
holdup, who backed into the darkness
empty handed, except for the revolver
with which he kept Wagner covered
while he made his disappearance.

$3.50, 900 Contract Will be Let
by William A. O'Brien
This Afternoon.
THREE YEARS WILL BE
CONSUMED BYPROJECT
One Hundred Additional Men
Will be Employed When
Work Begins.

At a meeting of contractors, held in
the office Of w. A. O'Brien, chief en-
gineer of the Little River Drainage
District yesterday afternoon, bids
were submitted on contract Of the
greatest magnitude ever offered by the
drainage people.
The work involves the excavation of
100000 cubic yards of earth, and
aggregates a cast of more than
$450,00O.
Six construction companies submit
ted bids, and the three lowest, from
which the final choice will be made,
were as follows: Coleman & Sons,
McLeansboro, H., bid ga cents per
cubic yard; Wills & Son, Paragould,
Ark, $40 per cubic yard, and Hoosier
Land & Investment Co., GIG per cubic
yard.
AL the bidders under consideration
80 Ii..c-cd to be responsible, and the
prices are considered by Mr.. O'Brien
IS being very reasonable.
The contracts on which the bids
have been submitted, are numbered II
and II, and are located Just South
and West Of Morehouse.
There vii be d meeting Of the direct
ors this afternoon, held in the Office
Of the Drainage District, in the H. {;
II. building, for the purpose of select
ting one of the three lowest bidders,
As the difference in price among the
three is insignificant, the choice will
probably fall to the party who can
show himself best equipped to perform
the services in the most expeditions
and satisfactory manner.
Mr. O'Brien, when interviewed by a
Tribune representative, said: "The
work is to begin at once, and shall be
completed within three years from the
date Of contract.
1.-Two dredging machines of the lar
gest type will be installed, and will be
put into operation rs soon as they can
te erected.
while with the use Of this late type
machinery there is comparatively few
men employed, considering the volume
Of work accomplished there will be en-
pIoyment for a considerable number
Of men while the excavation is in pro-
gress, and on these two contracts
alone there will doubtless be constant
employment for at least 100 men,"

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-Zipping
along with the March OF Prospect
ty are the cartoon boys. Those brave
spirits who are hired to furnish a
giggle & day to newspaper perusers
Cartoonist salaries in New York are
scooting 80 high that every time a
cartoonist sees mere editor in-chief
he has to bust right out in raucious
guffawlng.
When Bud Fisher cut away from
Mr.. Hearst's journals and farmed
out TO a syndicate II is said that the
inducement was $4,000 year to-
gether with divvy out OF the gross
receipts. Fisher also is reported 10
be a stakeholder in that veritable
Broadwal mint-the Strand theater.
When cartoonists sink their par
trician fingers into the necks OF pie
bian editors they seem to get what
they want. Not long ago the origl-
nator of some popular cartonns on a
New York paper was approached by
an editor concealing ten-year con-
tract. He baked at the long term
and the editor permitted him to sit
around the ONCE and draw pictures
but they didn't print them.
Then a syndicate scout swooped
in on the cartoonist one day with
whale OF an offer which he was on
the verge OF accepting when his own
paper made hurried scramble for
the dough-bag and went over the
price offered by the syndicate. Peace
was then restored.
The sanctity OF that haven OF con-
genial theatrical masculinity--the
Green Room Club--has been desc
Grated. Things have been all mussed
up Mt the Green Room Club. Edge
up little closer, friends and get
this: A woman--a real honest-to-
goodness woman-has entered the
portals OF that institution. 1t was
an unwritten law that woman
should never enter the place.
The members gave beefsteak din
ner the other night and $50 men sat
around the board and assisted the
war In making packers rich by eat
Ing beef. After the scraps had been
cleared away 1t happened.
A woman. a lyric soprano with the
well known so-called some pipes"
waited into the room. The gentle
men who had arranged the entertain
ment feature did not know the rule.
He was properly bawled out but the
woman was there Just the same.
A new magazine to uplift the dance
Is being contemplated in New York.
The tango rad has been hard hit by
the gentle and refined art OF skating
and those who believe in the higher
and more aesthetic forms OF dane
ing are anxious to get In the best
licks nova real terpsichorean re-

Several socially prominent million
aires are said TO be back OF the pro-
ject and Louis II. Chalif is tipped for
the editorial management. The idea
is TO instill into the minds OF those
who love dancing that the sugges-
tive shrugs and bunny-hugs are pass

Is not impaired but rather stronger
than ever.
