The charges range from murder to gun "totin" and resulted from disorders in Boone and eastern Logan counties late in August and early in September when Il men were killed

 Pat Crawford, one of the applicants for bail, told the court he was a union
 miner adding that he only took part in the trouble through the coercion of "B1anton."

 Saloons On Increase.
 Saloons in this state are said to have increased more than 10 per cent. and there are more than 400 in this state right now. MT. Mackenzie has pointed out that efforts to enforce the prohibition act are almost useless as long as the open door of the saloon offered a mecca for bootleggers Ar engagements have been made at the state laboratory to have daily tests of product turned out by the dozen or more breweries in Connecticut.
 Runors are rife of an increase in the available supply of liquor is New Haven. It is said one liquor dealer in that city has just received 20 bar rels of whiskey and another is getting ready for the winter by moving in 2,000 cases of the same material
 In connection with the Bristol de- velopments there has arisen what ap- pears to be somewhat of friction between Constable Edward J. O'Keefe and the police department, with the result that O'Keefe has stated he will report his discoveries to Director Mac kenzie instead of the local chief of police henceforth.F This is due, he says to the failure of the local police to act on his information.
 O'Keefe intimates that certain Bris- tol police are taking bribes to fore. stall raids in saloons.

his heels on the marble floor ex-
actly as II he were on a common

steel things on the heels OF his
school shoes made.
But Peggy WINS tripping as

was beating a loud tattoo and
Peggy was scared.
Up in the elevator they went
and Peggy didn't know there
were 30 many men in the world as
smarmed in and out OF the doors
of those elevators.
Then all at once daddy was
saying. "Mr. Jones is looking for
them. ] will be back for them
after a Bit" and they were going
down more clickity corridors till
they found themselves at last
shut in all safe and cosy with
their very own Mr.. Hilman Jones

Lower Hudson Called North River.

Lower Hudson Called North River.
The application Of the name North
river to the lower part of the Hudson
dates back to the time of early Dutch
settlements in New Jersey. North riv-
er is the historic name of the lower
course of the river which flows be-
tween Manhattan and the Jerseys. It
was north of the New Jersey settle
ments, just as the Delaware was south,
and the two rivers were known to the
Dutch colonists as the North river and
the South river, respectively. The per-
sistence Of the alternate names OF the
river often is mentioned as one Of the;
local idiosyncrasies Of New York city.
