was before Judge M. Il. GelSSler Tn the -city court Monday morning, charged with having been a trespasser5 on rail- road property. Cassidy, a clean look ing. brigtt-rninded young man, was taken into custody about 11.30 Satur- day in the railroad yards by Railroad O6cer John Murray. formerly captain of police here. At the time Cassidy was accompanied by another man. who eventually made a getaway. Though Officer Murray was drenched by the rain at the time. he found that the two men he accosted for being on the rail- road compaiTy's property as trespass- CTS were comparatively dry. and it was apparent they had not been out Of doors very long.

 coal chutes in the local yards.
 It was stated here on Monday that l the total supply of coal available for l I.locomotives coaling in this city was l contained in 33 cars that had just been received. This is approximately 1850 tons. or about two weeks normal
 supply.
 As much as 5000 tons can be stored
 in the bins at the coal chute.
