Roy Gardner visited Cottage Grove
during the post week.
No one actually saw Roy elose
enough to be able to identify him, but
one man report* losing his breath the
while hurrying into the city from the
outskirts to meet a night train. An
other man, with a family consisting of
one wife and six children to support,
who had a five-spot left over from hi*
last week’s wages, report* that it ha*
completely disappeared in some my*
teriou* way during tho week.
Another citizen, who arrived home

These mysterious incidents, it *eems,

for disregarding the section of the
traffic ordinances forbidding parking
on Main street for more than one hour.
Judge Gnlloway imposed a fine of $1.
