PROMINENT MAN ARRESTED

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN ARRESTED THIS MORNING, OTHER ARRESTS TO FOLLOW. It is a well fact in court circles that wholesale arrests would sooner or later be made. Some men are just naturally careless, they utterly fail to observe important happenings -and things that are before them daily, things which most people know exist and see. Time and time again the attention of people has been called to these things thru the -medium of this publication but some men persist in regarding them other than in a serious light and utterly fail to observe that which is so vital to every one of them. , This morning while coming down Main Street Mr. George Short’s attention was “arrested” by the display -in Hilliard & Hamill’s windows,, he went into the store to investigate. Mr. Short freely acknowledges that he had no idea he had been doing himself an injustice in not having particularly observed these weekly displays. He is satisfied now that he can buy both Foreign and Domestic hats in Rensselaer exactly like those sold in Chicago and for much less money. Mr. Short wears ‘Borsalino’ hats (Italian). —H & H sell them for $6 while in Chicago they sell for $lO. If you don’t believe this is true, ask any one of the following men, you know them all: Cal Able, Zern Wrong, Red Handle, W. L. Cook, Jud Fish, Clifford Glass, Hiram Night or Shorty Collins.
