EXCAVATIONS WILL SOON BE READY FOR THE BEGINNING OK THE KI ILDING OF FOTNOt. TIONS FOR THE STREETS—OX EAST WASHINGTON TODAY.
WILL MIKE A BIG CHANGE
Work at plowing up the street on Washington street, between Indiana and Vine streets, began Wednesdaymorning. The big steam engine with the rock plow made short work of the old pavement.

The city council started out to make the square a thing of beauty and when it’s plans are complete it will have done it.

Two gambling games, operated by followers of the circus, were in operation on circus grounds here Tuesday afternoon. Marshal Johns, thinking of the innocent who were loosing their hard-earned cash, notified the manager of the circus that the games must stop. And stop they did. However, the operators of both games had won several dollars in small change before the peace protector got on to the gamesOne game was the common wheel I and spoke game. It cost the players^ 25 cents a play and each time they won some prize. However. few prizes worth more than a few cents were won. The more valuable prizes seemed to be "unwinable” and none were won. The other game was a number affair and it was seldom that a player won anything. Both game keepers had "cappers” standing near the game and when business got poor the “cappers” would play and win. This would encourage onlookers and soon another victim would be added to the list.
in the circuit court on the charge of stealing $70 in money from Alec Nick, another Italian, who works at
the quarries.
Peat, it seems had been discharged by the I. & O. quarry people but remained at the quarry. He had another Italian, Alee Nick, as a bunk mate. Peat, a few days ago. alleged that someone had stolen $70 from his pockets and charged his bunkmate with the theft. Nick contended that he had not stolen the money and to prove his innocence he showed Peat the money he carried in his belt, which amounted to about $300. I When Nick opened his wallet to show Peat the money, the latter | picked up a roll of bills and count--ing off $70 put it in his pocket and ! refused to give it bark to the old | man Other Italians at the place say that the old man is strictly honest, while the reputation of Peat is
not so good.
