Crazed with fear that the comet would demolist the earth and annihilate them, six men were brought to the county this morn- ing and booked as insane. There was no question in the mind of Jailer Rogers that the six were insane after they had described to him calamities the comet was to cause.

THOM “Much to my surprise,” writes Thomson, “this worked | upon his honor’s (Mayor Miller's) curiosity in a most wonder- ful way.” Small wonder for “his honor’s curiosity” when his city engineer is about to make ventures so “unknown” in all | their aspects. \nd “He said to me that he had made up his mind that you of thieves and that he would , ’ ld like ¢ 1elp and would like to know wante o catch a bunel like to who they were.” Had Mayor Miller known the Perkins railroad exploita- tion features of that trip he would not have had any such suspicions, It must have made Ballinger and Thomson laugh until their sides ached, this suspicion of an innocent mayor. Catch a bunch of thieves! And still further, “Under these conditions, judge please write me a blind letter which T can show him (Mayor Miller) to tisfy request if not his curiosity.” rh n wanted Ballinger to write a bogus letter te i r Miller in his opinion that Thor n was g 1 1 the north to “catch a bunch of thieve Just plain, everyday, common, _ pettif lying, this blind letter The idea of a trickster, unworthy of a man of But that is the way it goes—is going now.
