A couple ot strangers who struck town Saturday last spent a few days in the city and had a real nice time while the snap lamed, but the trou- ble waa it did not last long enough to suit them. Evidently they were in want of something to eat, and a little ready cash and, by the way, they got both. They agreed to buy the business of the American restaurant on D street. They had to send for some of their money, but were anxious to take possession right away. They claimed to be bustlers from Hustler ville and they made things fly around there for a few days. How. ever, when a demand was made for them to produce the coin they made an excuse to go out. They are out yet. but no one appears to know Just where.

If the Los Angeles parties do not pay the balance of the first payment on the day mentioned they will lose their 810,000. The total balance to he paid Is 840,000.
