Wanted Excitement.
During the past two or three
weeks numerous fire alarms have
been turned in at the Santa Fe
shops, and the boys would have
a run with their carts, but never
could locate any fire. At last it
dawned on them that so many
false alarms must have some con
tributing cause, so a real Hawk
sbaw, in the person of Special
Officer Kinman, was detailed to
locate the trouble. It was only
a matter of a few hours and a
little investigation before the of
| fleer had a hunch, and he took
into custody a Mexican boy nam
ed Delphine Martinez as the of
fender. He is not only charged
with tampering with the alarm
system, but also with damaging
fire hydrants. Sheriff Newman
came down from Holbrook Wed
nesday, and took the lad back
with him to lodge in the county
jail until such time as Judge Sapp
can give him a hearing. The
shop boys got a lot of practice
running with their fire carts, and
from reliable source we under
stand they used some profanity.

Our opinion of Larry Quinlan,
manager of Babbitts, is that he
is a live booster, but every time
we walk over the bum sidewalk
in front of the store, we have to
pinch ourself to keep our mind
from framing a picture of Larry
as a long-whiskered cross-road
merchant from the Ozarks. If
he don’t fix it we intend to file a
complaint with Street Commis
sioner Sheflin. Ladies pushing
baby buggies have to shift inflow
