Hoetlcggcrs Were Sought
Saturday night Lieutenant Lee or
dered his men te go downtown and mnke
some purchases in an attempt te get
two notorious bootleggers who have
been watched for some time. Kussell
and Cerey, following the regular pro
cedure of the vice squad, visited three
places, obtained samples, and were en
their way te n fourth when they were
set upon at Second and Christinn
streets.
The attack came se suddenly that the
policemen had no chance te use their
revolvers, and a large crowd collected
quickly. The first act of the assailants
was te smafih the bottles the policemen
had in their pockets. Several of the
participants in the fight are said te
have been members of the Second and
Christian streets station.
When Cerey anrt Russell explained
who they were apologies were profuse,
it is said, but thc. were taken te the
station. Acting Captain Cean ap
peared en the scene at this juncture and
started te question the two men. They
refused te answer except through their
superior, Lieutenant Lee, who went
te the station. Here was where the
clash came which ended in the order
for Freidman's suspension.

If se, why de we live te leave a geed name, a memory te

Wc de prepare for Death while we live, but our prepara

Years age people were afraid te talk about Death many

Humanity became mere enlightened, and people began te
select their burial ground.
Then they engaged aichitccts and began te build costly
Mausoleums.
A man of affairs, standing before a Mausoleum, the beau
tiful frame, realized that his friend had failed completely by
net providing a proper picture for the same, as there was
elaced into the fimancni frame the most fallible picture, "A
ll'oeden Casket."
After careful investigation the man of affairs became
convinced that only Bi-enze i3 lasting, permanent, indestructi

a genuine Bronze casket, such as veu ma. see at any time
