Let Down Arc Light To Ascertain If It Was Burning. Last Friday evening a group of a half dozen men in front of the St. Johns pharmacy were discussing matters in general when the conver sation turned upon the electric light question. Said Dickner, "I don't see why it is that we can't have a few public arc lights in this city that will give a bit of illumination. It is mighty necessary. Hie otlier evening when those plank were placed about the street to prevent teaming until the gravelling was completed a woman fell over the obstructions and was badly hurt. If we'd had a unlit there would have been no harm done." Then Kuser had his say. "I re member three times since I've been here that I've seen that arc light in the square burning and really giv lug light. If a little attention were paid to it the lamp might be made useful." 1'eterson ami Donnelly and a number more were discussing along the same line of thought when T. T. Parker hantciicd along. He broke in with "What's all this talk about, gentlemen? Whose kicking on that light up there? " Someone put in just then that the lamp seemed all right if the "juice could only be turned into it so as to give a light. Parker at once legan to assert that the lamp was burning. Eight otlier men declared that the lamp was not working and, after some altercation, Parker offered to wager good cigars for the crowd that the lamp was putting in full time. The bet was at once taken. In order to decide the winner the gang had to send lor Marshal Hanks The marshal stated that he thought Parker had lost: but he'd let down the arc light and examine it. When the lamp had been hauled down the crowd stood about it and, alter dollars. hurtling a do.eii matches, concluded Cudady that T. I . Parker had won the cigarsalthough it was only by a very close vote of the half bundled spectators who had gradually assembled. 1 lie lamp was bum lug. (P. S. It was learned after the bets were paid that Parker had heard the early discussions, had quietly slipied to a phone and called up the company, and thereby earned that the arc was burning. He didn't know by his own sight but he had a .sure-thing cinch.)
