fined $5 and costs, a total of $12.50
In county court Wednesday after

charged with haying tools In his
possession which were the property
of men working on the rip track.

"I've seen your signs ah over
town, and I guess I'll join the secret
service," a young fellow told Miss
Gannon of the home service bureau,
lied Cross, at her ofllce a day or so
ago. "I've always wanted to be a
detective." Miss Ganson was puz
zled. "What do you mean secret
service," she asked him or she said
something to that effect, anyway.
"Why, ain't you taking enlistments
for the secret service?" she was
asked. "It took fifteen minutes to
explain to the young man that the
home service bureau was not the se
cre tservice, and he finally gave In.
His parting words, however, were:
"I'd make a good detective." Miss
Ganson has her doubt. She's en
titled to them.

in the Interests of the sixteen asso
elated railroad brotherhoods, ad
dressed a meeting of railroad men
at Reddish hall Tuesday evening,
The meeting was open only to union

ment ownership of railroads, and
told a number of startling Illustra

roads were mismanaged by old pri
vate ownership officials during the
period of government control in or
der to give a black eye to public own
ership. He told of one old man who,

under private ownership had been
given $20 a month on a minor job
where his duties required only an oc
casional turn of an electric switch.
The same afflclals, under government
control, he said, called this same
man a first-class electrician and ad
vanced his salary to $2,600 a year.
He told of boys of twelve to sixteen
years being hired on construction
work at men's pay, and how these
boys spent their time In playing and
throwing rocks. Every way In which
expenses could be Increased was re
sorted to, such as replacing small
wooden bridges with expensive struc
tural steel, he said. He also Inti
mated that there might be an at
tempt on the pnrt of the government
to collect some of this money that
had been spent needlessly in an ef
fort to prejudice the public against
government ownership.
F. M. Broom of Antloch. who
holds title to one of the lots upon
which the Alliance city hall is lo
cated, has not yet replied to the in
vitation of City Attorney Melz to
come across with a quit-claim deed

that he will do so, and that his fail
ure to reply to the city's communi
cations is due to carelessness or the
press of other duties. Rome of these
days one of them will visit , him
while In Antloch, and that'll bo an
end to It.
