Fred soon found himself in the way, and started for Kansas, via Coun- cil Bluffs. Sunday night he applied for lodging at the farm house of John Hamilton, near the city limits, just west of the motor track. He was immediately set down as one of the young murderers who recently broke jail in Missouri. He was bound to a chair, tied hand and foot, and the ofticers sent for. When they arrived they found the supposed desperate criminal frightencd half to death, with & man on each' side of him, another standing in_front with & double-barrelled shotgun, and still another outside the house with a similar weapon, evidently expecting on attack by the friends of the outlaw. Chambers was brought to the police station and locked up with the vags and bums, as he was regarded as very erous. In the morning the court sized him up as a home- sick boy, but concluded to hold him a d 80 to sec what evidence could against him.

T'his is the machine thut lays thew all in the shade ot the tournaments, and invuriably takes the prize when placed in exhibition with others. The best record made with the Ahrens was to throw water 100 feet in three minutes and fifty seconds from the time the fire was kindled.

Licensing Saloons, Mayor Rohrer was rather unsettled yes- not knowing whether to insist on ying out of his original order to the loon men or not. He said he wanted to increase the city revenue ‘‘awful bad,” but did not want to displease the power that elected him. The fact of the matter is that Mayor Rohrer has some very fine ideas in regard to city government and questions of public finance, but the “bum element,” through its political influence a very strong hold upon him. He stated yesterday to a Bek reporter that the business men of the o asked for a hearing, and had re- quested him to not shut up the saloons. The parties interested in the new hotel project were among the number. He said he did not desire to close the saloons, but did want to replenish the city treasury. Thus far the gambling houses have not “entered into the question, and he does not wish to include them in the mattes He says they are dis- posed of for the pi not want them to join es. with the saloons against him, He scems to think it~ imposssible to close _the gambling houses and referred to th of Colonel l‘u; v, the county prose months nted to please the ind that as the eity is democratic he must cater to the democratic wish. In one thing, however, he claimed to have taken @ solid stand, and that s in regard to Sunday business. Hesaid that saloons, gam- bling houses and _billiard_parlors must be closed on that day, but was in doubt us to the 12 o’clock rule. The mayor finally announced his decision that all saloons that closed at 11 o'clock would be fined §25 & month and others £50.
