Lost Articles

No matter how careful one may be things do
get lost occasionally.
During car ride to business or shopping,
while in the store on the street or in an automo-
bile or bus-things do get lost.
Don't worry about it, because the first thing
that an honest person does when an article Of
value is found is to look under the Lost and Found
Classification in the Wants.
The Wants, return the great majority of lost
articles; they bring loser and finder together.
An article is never lost until the Wants have
failed in the opportunity to return (which is
mighty seldom.

RECALL DAYS OF '49
 IN GAL. CELEBRATION
Sacramento Reverts to the Big Mining Camp of
 the Old Days

Sacramento, Cal. May 23. = This ing camp of the old days of '4s whose romance is bound in the volumes ot Bret Hart, Mark Twain and others lives in the memory of few white bearded pioneers and is implanted for all time in American folk lore.
 The days of '49 celebration opening today is perhaps the most spectacular of its kind for virtually every citizen of Sacramento has had a part in it. Every adult male, generally speaking has been growing a. beard for several weeks and has prepared a costume of the period. The result has been a cast of thousands for the historic DOT trayal.
 Men high in the civic, commercial and political life of the state began arriving at the capital last night by stage coaches of the '49 variety to take their places in the Argonaut par ade led by Captain Sutter, imperson- ated by Hobart Bosworth, who will land with his crew from the Sacra- mento river and march to Sutter's fort, Sacramento's treasured reminder of the gallantry which characterized it's birth.
 Every store front was re-vamped to fit historically into the '49 picture and every dainty miss who ordinarily wears 'em short was attired in dresses which reached to the ground.
 So realistic were preparations for the gala affair which will last for five days, that Prohibition Enforcement Agent Samuel Rutter came from San Francisco with a strong squad of dry enforcement officers to make certain the celebrants would not add more realism to the affair by quaffing red liquor which wasn't crime in '49.

 Denson was removed some time ago to Macon for safe keeping but yester- day he wass brought back to Irwin ton,
 Members of the mob. according to the guards, arrived at the jail at mid night in seven autom obiles and de- manded that Denson be surrendered. Two guards, John B. Stanley and J. R. Bell refused and fired volley with their guns. Guards said they thought one of the memb bers of the mob was wounded, for the men immediately left the jail They returned however at one o'clock and stormed the jail. Stanley was slightly wounded during the exchange of shots and c. H. Richards, a prisoner also was hit by a bullet.
 Forcing their way into the jail members of the mob with crowbars, removed the iron bars of Densons cell and hastened away with the frighten- ed and trembling negro.
