also that she had not paid for the
booze but that the vendor had agreed
to return yesterday to- get mis- money,

WATCH
POLE CLIMBER
UP POLE

The police phone rang alarmingly
Patrolman Walter Morris answered it,
'Do you allow little boys to climb
telephone poles" feminine voice
wanted to know. I'VE certainly do
not" the officer replied, there's a
law against it,"
"Well then you just better come
right over here for there is a little
boy way up a telephone pole right
here on Ninth street." Thus the
police were summoned to make little
boy come down off telephone pole.
The officers hurried. Patrolmen
Speer and Pollard of the burglary
squad sped south in the patrol car
and finally came upon the boy, He
had descended from his perch aloft
and was standing at the bottom OF
the pole contemplating in awe and
admiration the great height he had
just climbed down from.
The officers watched him. He
showed no disposition to bite the
pole off and run away with it or
to set it on fire or to cut holes in
it or otherwise mutilate it and pres
emily he sauntered off without having
done any damage except to his own
pants and the officers went station
ward to report that they were unable
to- find enough evidence to convict
the boy so had permitted him to
escape.

HAS FTNGERPRINTs MADE

Grover G. Wease, whose home is at
626 Seventeenth street, did not appre-
ciate the suggestion OF the officers
that the disappearance OF woman's
wearing apparel from there was due
to some member OF the household.
Accordingly he went to the police
station and insisted on his finger
prints being taken in order to prove
by comparison with any fingerprints
that might have been taken at the
premises that he had nothing to do
with the case. He said after having
the fingerprints made that he did

Beauty the Ocelot was after him at

All the time Shelly was trying to get to

He was almost there when Beauty
