DEMONSTRATION OF
 FIRE APPARATUS
Punper Makers to Be Asked to
 Send Machines Here

Five 75O gallon bumpers will be brought to this city on october 9 for a demonstration before the com mon council and members of the fire board, city officials and the public, it was decided at a meeting of the fire board and a committee from the council appointed 10 ar rive at some satisfactory agreement regarding the purchase of a bumper. In case all manufacturers cannot comply with the request of the board, another meeting of the joint committee will be held and some other course taken.
 The three members from the council who met with the fire board were Alderman William H. Judd, Councilman Elias T. RinErose and Councilman Charles Bradley,
 When the meeting opened AL derman Judd immediately moved that the manufacturers of bumpers be communicated with and that each be requested to send machine to this city for a demonstration on a date to be named. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ringrose who said that he, for one, would be interested in such a demonstration.
 The question was asked How many of them can do that Q" Chairman John F. F. Keevers of the fire board replied that most of them would be able to comply with such a request. The following five trucks were mentioned: La France, Ahrens-FoX, Stutz, Scagreaves, and Maxim. It was the opinion of most

booked on charge of embezzle- police, as was her escort, who was ment.
 Miss Witte told the police that she had sold her automobile We'd nesday and had received payment on it, so that when she arrived at the dance hall Wednesday night, fearing that she would lose the money. she gave 1t to Forrest for safe-keeping, also putting her dia- mond ring into the pocketbook. When leaving her home, Forrest re- turned the pocketbook, but when she entered the house Miss Witte found 1t empty.
 Forrest has been living at local hotel, but he checked out immedi- ately after leaving Miss Witte and went to Hartford where he applied for room in the Bond hotel. The suspicious of the clerk on the desk were aroused when Forrest rendered $100 bill in payment for the room, and the clerk caught glimpse of the diamond ring with a lady's set- ting. He notified nearby police man. who questioned Forrest and placed him under arrest when he was unable to give an explanation of how he came by the money and ring. 'r
 When Forrest was arraigned in East Hartford police court yesterday morning on a charge of embezzle- ment, Miss Witte appeared and said that she did not wish to press the charge of embezzlement against him since she had recovered her money and ring. The court did not take the same view of the affair and For- rest was held for trial next Monday by Prosecutor Percy s. Bryant. Bonds for his release were set at s1,0OO, and unable to raise them, he was remanded to the East Hartford iail

drawn" he said. He said that a machine is needed at once and waste of time would be unnecessary.
 The chairman suggested that if all the companies could not comply, those unable to do so should be stricken from the list. This suY gestion was voted unfair by the others present.
 Commissioner Cans suggested that tho matter be threshed out in the meeting. sHe told of observations made in various cities and was questioned as to the machines in use in the cities in this state.
 Judd Threatens to Fight
 Commissioner Cans said he favored the Seagreaves bumper, but Alderman Judd said that if there was not sufficient investigation of the merits of all the machines he would go into the council prepared to oppose the proposition to the utmost.
 Alderman Judd came back at Commissioner Cans remark about wasting time by saying that the fire board has had since last April to buy a machine, so few more days will not make any difference. The pur- post of the investigation is to make some recommendation that stands 8 chance of passing the council. He urged that the matter be settled for once and for all. The council will not accept the Seagreaves bumper, he said, and a further investigation is needed.
 It was finally decided that Clerk J. J. keough be instructed to write to the manufacturers and find out whether rnot they can comply with the request of the board.

Have You Piles!
Then You Have Something to Learn.

Then You Have Something to Learn.
 Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and perma- nent relief can only be accomplished with internal medicine. Neither cut ting nor any amount of treatment with ointments and suppositories will remove the cause.
 Bad circulation causes piles. There is complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy. His pre- scription, HEMROID, is now sold by all druggists. Dr. Leonhardt tried It in 1000 cases with the marvellous record of success in 9S per cent. and then decided it should be sold under a rigid money-back guarantee.
 Don't waste any more time with outside applications. Get a pack age of HEMROID from Clark & Brainerd's today. It has given safe and lasting relief to thousands and should do the same for you-it sel- dom fails.

when they understood it, even Cahu-

off their feet by that wave of jocu-
lar enthusiasm, until in his truculent
obstinacy Cahusac remained the only
dissentient. He withdrew in mortifi-

until the following day brought him
his revenge. This came in the shape
of a messenger from Don Miguel with
a letter in which the Spanish admiral
solemnly vowed to God that, since
the pirates had refused his magnani-

render with the honors of war, he
would now await them at the mouth
of the lake there to destroy them on

Cahusac 'glowered at him in silence

NEW OVERLANDS
CONQUER HILLS
+ IN HARD TESTS

Countless demonstration over all
sorts of hills in all parts Of the
country staged by WHY'S Overland
dealers. have convinced the motoring
public Of the tremendous stamina
power of the new Overland motor.
Possibly no more spectacular feat
Of this sort has ever been staged
than that of the Overland Arizona
Company, Phoenix. Ariz. in its con-
quest of Motorcycle Hill, which has
since been renamed Overland Peak.
Motorcycle Hill, lying on the
northerly nose of old Camelback
Mountain, has long been regarded as
insurm ountable by motor car. 1t is
az percent grade and approximately
thousand feet long. There is
scarcely any road and the course lies
over jagged rocks that cut tires to
ribbons; over it also are soft areas
Of fine loose rock and granite that
attempt to strangle the motor that
dares brave them.
Such is the hill over which a new
Overland pulled seven people, weigh
ing 100 pounds, stopping in the mid
die of the hill, where all momentum
was lost, then proceeding without
undue effort and finished with such
case that it went over the top in sec
ond gear.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-02-14
The accomplishment of this feat
has since been the talk of Arizona.

men up "a" street in low and then
up State street in second. two re-
markable feats. as no car has ever
been known to negotiate either Of
these inclines with more than four
passengers. Then, to top off the de-
monstration, a Red Bird was turned
off the road and forced to climb
halfway up mountain just outside
of the city, blowing its way through
sunflowers and sage bush to within
fifteen feet of the large "U" placed
on the mountainside by student of
the University of Utah.
Another Overland touring car per-
formed a climb of the entire Mohawk
Trail in the Berkshires, making the
entire trip in high gear, not an easy
undertaking for any car. Motorists
who have climbed the old Indian Lad
der road in the Hilderberg Mountains
Of Northern New York, realize what
a conquest it was for the Overland
to list this hazardous incline amt ng
it's victims.
In Atlanta, Ga, an Overland car
climbed the steep steps Of Piedmont
Pafk, after obtaining permission
from city authorities.
In San Francisco an Overland
climbed the grass-covered slopes of
Jones street hill, known from coast
to coast for it's steep grade.
An Overland climbed to Buffalo
Bills grave on Lookout Mountain,
just outside of Denver, climbing all
but the last lap Of the trip in >ligh
gear. The last leg was made in low
gear, inasmuch as there is no road
leading to the grave and the trip is
usually made on foot.

Highway, considered one of the most
