THERE IS A REASON"

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if 1t doesn't average good is it returned and a new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get complaint from a purchaser of one of these watches.
 Our alarm clocks are rigidly in- spected also.

CLIFF APARTMENTS DAMAGED BY FIRE OF
 UNKNOWN ORIGIN
Most of the Damage Was Done by Water Flooding Some of the Apartments-Good Work
 of Bremen

Two apartments were damaged by fire and number damaged by water as a result of a blaze which started on the second floor of the Cliff Apart ments last night about eight o'clock. Though the fire had quite a start be- fore it was discoverd and an alarm turned in, because of the construc- tion of the building, it was confined to the apartment in which it started on the second floor and the apart ment just above on the third floor.
 It is not know how the fire began
 The damage, the greater part of which was done by water, has not been estimated.
 J. H. Long and Mrs. Long, proprie- tors of the Cliff Apartments, as well as the tenants, praise highly the work of the firemen. They did all that was possible to rescue the per sonal property of those who lived in the apartments and by their celerity in answering the alarm saved much further damage.
 MT. and Mrs. Long and the tenants are busy today preparing to renovate the apartments. The place was part ly insured.

SOLDIER SUICIDE
Body Found in Hotel Room by
a Chambermaid.
Lloyd e. LutZ Had Honorable
Discharge in Pocket.

That Lloyd E. Lutz, 2Z, a dis
charged soldier found dead in a room
in the Union Pacific hotel in North
Topeka Thursday night, committed
suicide, was the opinion of the police
and county coroner today. Lutz's
body was discovered by a chamber
maid. A bullet had entered his right
temple, passed thru his head and
lodged in the wall. His body was
lying across a bed. A 3S-caliber re-
volver was found on the floor just
under his right hand, which was
hanging over the edge of the bed. A
box of cartridges to fit the gun was
found in a suit case. Altho there
were no powder marks on his face,
authorities pointed out that 1t would
have been possible for him to hold
the gun far enough away from his
face that the powder would not have
touched him.
Had Honorable Discharge.
An honorable discharge found in
the mans pocket showed that he had
enlisted in the army June IA, 1918, at
Craig, Colo, and was discharged at
Camp Funston May 2s, 1919. The
papers showed that prior to his en-
davits made by the Moffat Mercantile
Co, of Craig, apparently were used in
obtaining his discharge. as they in
dicated that the firm wished to re-
employ him at once.
Lutz first came to the hotel
Wednesday night and asked for
room with a strong lock. The night
clerk said he showed him four rooms
before he found one to suit him. TIE
last person to see him, it was said, was
the 5-year-old daughter of w. c.
Chaffee, the proprietor.
. Faced Mirror to Shoot?
When LutZ had not appeared
Thursday night, the maid attempted
to open his door but finding it locked
went to a porch where she could see
in the window.
The manner in which the man was
lying on the bed dressed only in his
underclothes. indicated that he must
have faced the mirror when he fired
the shot. The police and DR.. %. F.

the belief that the case was purely
one of suicide. No inquest will be

ON A FLOATING JAG"
That's Winnipeg's Condition-Strik
just a Long Holiday.

Winnipeg, Man, May 30.-From all
appearances Winnipeg is enjoying a
prolonged holiday.
After three weeks there still are
few indications of what one might
expect a strike to effect.
The absence of street cars is the
first noticeable manifestation. Many
stores are open again. Newspapers
are publishing, but spasmodically.
Little from the outside except news
of strike disturbances in other cities
and a few commercial messages from
the United States is received. News
papers get outside papers at the bor-
der and clip their news columns.
Persons coming to town-there are
a few-ask where's the striker they

when Manitoba is suffering from one
of the hottest springs in the history of
the province.
The temperature has been near 80
and rarely below IS at midday dur
ing the past ten days. Sweltering
crowds jam the streets. Men go hat
less and coatless. No rain has fallen
in two weeks.
Big business houses are privileged
to call for their mail at the postoffice.
No outside distribution is attempted.
Telephones are being operated by a
limited force. Long distance lines
have been partially reopened.
Normal bread and milk distribu-
ton has been restored
In short. Winnipeg is on "loafing
jag" with apparently nobody particu-
larly concerned about tomorrow.
