, an ordinance giving to the mayor the
| i ight of pardon of persons convicted
i of crimes in the municipal court, fol
i lowed by the immediate pardoning
I of one Haggerty who had been con
[ victed of assault and battery com
I minted upon a woman in the re
stricted district, and sentenced by
Judge Grimm to pay a line of one
hundred dollars and 3erve a term of
twenty five days in the city jail.

their presence and astonishment i3
justly expressed by every one at the
action of the council last night.

releasing this man Haggerty and, that
notwithstanding the action of the
council last night he will be compell
ed to serve his full sentence in jail.

“DIAMOND FROM THE SKY"
AT THE DREAM
Chapter twenty eight, “On the
Wings of the Morning." In the gypsy
camp all is excitement for it is dis
covered that Hugar, queen of the
gypsies, is dying. Arthur, further
unstrung by what has happened, goes
to his hangar and clambers aboard
a mighty aeroplane which is his lat
est hobby. High into the air, out over
the sea, on the wings of the morning,
the young millionaire soars. He turns
landward aguin, and is thousands of
feet in the air. Below, he sees the
gypsy caravan. He looks down, a
wire snaps, thanks to the treachery
of Blair. The mechanical bird flut
ters for a moment, then falls and
dives to the ground a torn and twist
ed muss of debris.
An extra attraction will be shown
tonight entitled “Red Bird Wins."
This is a famous race truck drama
