It is probable that Waib a civil engineer will be used in construction work. When Walb first caught sizht of one of the dinky engines engaged in the construction he tg;emed to brace up and declared he would like‘ to operate the train. ' ;
“I was with both men until the third gate of the prison was reached Walb's box of cigars and Weaver's candy were taken from them but the guards told me the men could purchase articles like that withiin the prison walls. o “At Chicago a photographer (riad to get our pictures.
