The health authorities investigated but could find no smallpox cases among the people of the carnival. Another rumor was that one of the large reptiles of the snake show had got away. Shortly before the aggregation got away Officer Will Lage pounced ujjon two members of the company, who were "shooting craps" in the road south of the Great Western passenger sta.tion.

They gave the nances of Elliott and Humphrey and each put up $10 for his appearance in the mayor's court. They left town with the carnival. I Must Electrify Si9n. The council this morning ordered placed on file the petition of C. W.
