reviewed his various criticisms of his

for a warrenite job. The speaker said
he had never opposed concrete, his

Turn I'm False Alarm.

An alarms of fire was turned in
from box SO, New Brunswick avenue
and New street about 1890 this
morning. When the firemen arrived
no fire could be found and the party
who turned in the alarm was not at
hand. Patrolmen Seaman, Thulleson
and w. Seiboth were on the escene
and searched for the guilty party, but
no information could be found, except
hat a car believed to contain joyrid-
ers sped away shortly before the first
whistle. For sometime a party found
guilty of turning in an alarm was
subject to a fine, but on a foggy and
stormy morning, when the roads are
very slippery, a dangerous accident
might take place, which would even
bring the charge against the culprit
up to murder. The police will inves-
tigate this occurrence.

The marks will be filed and compared
