catch a cllmpsc ot President Tatt during his visit to the state fair Mondoy Some nimr ble flngered person extracted tho fee from Mr hip pocket while he was at the fair grounds The loss was exceedingly hard on Mr McCauley because he had taken great pains to place the money in what he supposed to be a safe place The pocket was buttoned but the thief evidently knew the combina tion Previous to starting for the fair Mr McCauley had paid 5250 to a man lie had carried this money in the same pocket GRINDLEY CHOICE AS COUNCIL HEAD Eighth Ward Aiderman Picked by Republican Members for Presiding

Gutman of the Third ward as president of the council during the coming calendar year at a caucus of the Republican aidermen yesterday By the same unanimous vote Aid Joseph Theisen of the Eleventh ward was chosen to succeed Grindley as pres ident pro tem and Aid Glinnan and Lodge were re elected as per manent chairman and secretary respectively of the Republican caucus Aid Grindley who has an ambi tion to preside over the council for a term had more than enough votes pledged to his support months ago but a movement to beat him origi nated with certain members of the council to wium he had refused to make pledges of committee ap pointments or that reason his friends thought it best to call the caucus at once and settle the mat ter There were 14 of the aider men present Glinnan Gutman ield Schultz Allan Walsh Harp fer Lodge Thompson Brozo Mc Carty Owen Grindley and Theisen Aid Gutman had the proxies of Aid Koenig and Vernor and Aid EUls sent word that he would stand by any action on the subject taken by the caucus so that the election of Grindley is assured An afternoon paper had published a story to the effect that Grindley was to be chosen as the result of clique rule in the council and inti mating that he had secured the honor by promises of desirable committee appointments The inti mation was denounced In speeches by Aid Allan Gutman Harpfcr Glinnan Owen Lodge Brozo Walsh and others who stated In the most emphatic language they could command that they had neither asked nor received any promise of any sort from Grindley Collectively they paid him as hlglj a tribute for integrity and fait dealing as any member of the council ever got and they told him to go and forget the silly yarn that he had purchased the honor with promises Grindley insisted on saying a word in his own behalf before th? vote and he said that only two of the 36 members of the council had asked him for a committee place and he had refused to give the slightest assurance to either of them He intimated that whatever else they get they will not get the places they asked for GOES TO JAH AT EAST Gregory Larkins Convicted of En tering Store in Nighttime Both divisions of the court were
