CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Atlanta, Ga, June 29.-John Cor
rigan, an official of the city court OF
Atlanta, was standing at the corner
of Broad and Alabama streets. An
automobile drove up Broad street and
turned the corner into Alabama street
and drew up to the curb where Mr.
Corrigan was standing A good look
ing woman on the right hand side
of the back seat held her hand out.
Thinking it was lady who knew
him, but whom he couldn't recall for
the moment, Mr.. Corrigan took off
his hat and walked up and shook
hands with her, saying how glad he
was to see her again and how we'll she
was looking, ETC., etc. d..
Then and there he got the worst
bawling out of his whole career The
more he tried to explain, the madden
the lady got. She said things to him
that made his hair, stand on end, and
he got red in the face and kept try
ing to explain and apologize, and she
kept up her bawling. Finally Mr.
Corrigan beat hasty retreat. And
now his friends are taking great de-
light in explaining to him that a hand
held out of an automobile is signal
for the car behind to slow down.

farmers living beteen Orofno and

luck catching salmon. They use
a net, 125 feet long, or was that

a fine bunch here yesterday to
