Thus read a Sinn posted on the
inlormation bungalow being con-
structed at Main and Broadway
this morning.
A irowd gathered and thickened.
So did the )ilot
A policeman raoie up ami read
the sign thus proving that poliiT-
rnrn 'ran read.
The crowd stood around. So did
the policeman. So did the c.irx-ii-ters
supposed to be at woik on the
bungalow. .
"Why don't some otic take il
down?" asked an innocent by.
sunder
1 be erowd looked at the police-
man. The policeman looked at the
sign.
"Country Inn" he mused proving
again that charges of illiteracy
among policemen are unfounded.
Then suddenly the crowd parted
like the waters of the sea are part-
ed by the sharp prow of an oti-
rushing ship.
Strong men blanched and paled
Who was this figure waving n
hatchet the light of conquest in his
eye' Who was this Carrie Na-
ttoning crusader?
A lew frantic strokes of the in-
strument demolished the sign; then
rernguitiuri burst upon the crowd.
The hatchet-wieider was Mead
Cameron brother of "Red." last
survivor of the one-time famous
"Itig Four" who is now improv-
ing the county rOads near fcdmnnd.
Mead retired to his barber shop
on the opposite corner.
Some one patted Joe I lurk ins
manager of the l.ee-Iluckms hotel
on the back and murmured :
"The five is yours Joe; I didn't
think you had the nerve."
The crowd disappeared.

Statement of Governor.
In his refual to tell where he got
the money Mr. I'erguion said:
"The transaction was a clear open
honest daylight deal between honest
men. There is no reason to suspect it
It was connected with no legislation and
no official act of mine."
