Rocky Ripple Satisfied"

Town election commissioners were
silent on reports that candidacy of
Mccoy had been questioned on the
basis that he filed too late.

70, does not intend to hold an
election as it elected all officials for
four year terms two years ago, &C
cording to j. A. Goodman, of the
Real Silk Hosiery Mills, town clerk.
Castleton, with a population OF
about 200, also will hold no election,
it was reported.
Rocky Ripple, having about fifty
residents, made no arrangements to
elect new officials because the
people were satisfied and didn't
want to be bothered" according to
Fred DoepperS, erk-treaSurer.
However, Doeppers and Attorney
Charles w. Applebaum are con-
ferring with state officials on the
matter and may hold an election,
although the specified time for
nominating is past.

persons, Woodstock will elect two

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Al Capone,
convicted of defrauding the gov
eminent of income tax, viii con-
tinue for a time at least to enjoy
the comparative luxury of stay in
Cook county jail rather than i'm
mediately start his ten-year sem
tence in Leavenworth penitentiary.
While refused freedom on bond,
the gangster was given stay of
execution of his sentence by the
United States circuit court pending
appeal of the case. Meanwhile,
Capone'S attorneys planned to carry
their fight for bail to the United
States supreme court.
The time spent in Jail will not
count on either the penitentiary
sentence or the one-year jail term
imposed upon Capone by Judge
James H. Wilkerson.
Because of this, the gang leaders
attorneys obtained permission for
their client to commence his term
at Leavenworth if the supreme
court denies the bail plea.
Phil D'Andrea, body guard, who
carried a revolver to Capone's trial,

county jail on a contempt of court
charge today by Judge Wilkerson.
Judge WilkerSon observed that
D'Andrea was linked with an out
law organization of which Al Ca
pone was the head" and mentioned
that the body guard had spent much
time at the Lexington hotel, head
quarters of the Capone gang.
D'Andrea was arrested as he left
the federal building Oct. 10 with
Capone. Secret service operatives
took a revolver from him.
On the plea that D'Andrea' s
mother was critically i'll, the SEN
tence was made effective two weeks
hence. Judge Wilkerson paroled
D'Andrea to the custody of Michael
Ahern, attorney, for the two weeks.
Judge Wilkerson made the SEN
fencing occasion for a denunciation
Of Capone. D'Andrea and the man
ner witnesses were intimidated by
Capone'S henchmen in the income
tax trial.
While at the Cook county jail,
Capone is able to receive visitors,
have food sent in from outside and
spend his time as he pleases in the
special cell to which he was as
signed.
In ruling on Capone's plea for
bail, the United States circuit court
also acted to speed appeal of the
sentence. Formal notice of the
appeal already has been given.
Under court rules, the briefs for
Capone must be filed promptly.
The government has been given
fifteen days for their answer. 1t
was estimated the circuit court
would require about three weeks for
the decision, with the entire process
taking about two months.

Speaking

In a message to congress, Dec. l,
1862, President Lincoln offered the
prediction that in 1880 the United
States would have a population of
over 250,0O0,O00.
While it's a little late in the sea-
son, for the benefit of those who
like their figures, we find that
100000 bricks were used in the
Perry Stadium and over 1000 feet
of drain tile. So perfect is the
drainage that within few hours
after the hardest rain, the field is
in excellent playing condition.
We spent about half million dol
lars for various commissions in
order to learn that crime costs us
a billion dollars a year, and we are
still facing the question of what to
do about it.
If your lights dim suddenly when
you put your foot on the starter,
that is a danger signal that your
battery, is not up to normal. Early
care often saves expensive repair
or the cost of a new battery.
=
In test cases, decisions handed down
by high courts show that accidents
caused by tires blowing out are no
longer considered acts of Provi-
dence, but negligence on the part
of the motorist. A local attorney
informs us that at the present
time he is handling large dam
age suit in which a tire blew out,
causing the car to crash into an
other one and killing the driver.
New tires are still cheaper than
law suits.

Vergil More Than Match
for "Devylls of He'll"

There are several stories tell
ing how Vergil became acquainted
with the "devylls of hell" Accord
ing to one German legend, Vergil
was one day digging in his gar
den when he came upon a glass
filed with what appeared to be
wriggling earthworms. But a voice
came from the glass begging Vergil
to open it and promising to teach
him many arts. Teach me the
arts" replied Vergil cannily, land
| will break the bottle and set you
free" SO they taught him all they
knew, and when he opened the bot
tie. - devils crawled out and dis
appeared.
In another version a single devil
promised to give Vergil the
magical book of Solomon if he
would release him from the bottle.
Vergil did but, frightened by the
size Of the liberated spirit, tricked
him into returning to the bottle in
the same way as the fisherman in
the ARABIAN Nights tricked the
Jim. Surely you can't make
yourself as small as the bottle
again." said Vergil. Easily" re-
piled the devil, and to prove it, re-
turned to the flask Vergil prompt
