Accordingly Superin tendent R. L. Rinker, Paymaster T. Wu Gambrill and Superintendent of Steel Construction T. W. Spydell, knowing that Mackin and a few boon companions enjoyed a slight celebra tion last Saturday night, took the chief of police and the mayor into their confidence, and prepared a sur prise for Mackin. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Po liceman T. M. Hall strolled uncon cernedly up to the building. As it chanced, Mackin was the first man he saw, and Mackin saw mm aoout tne same time. "Hello," hailed the big Irishman, "are you going to arrest some of us?' "Oh, I don't know," countered Mr. Hall, "What's your name?" Mackin glanced at the officer sus-. piciously. "Jordan,'' he answered. vtThe officer asked that the superin tendent be called, and when Mr. Spy delL came up he asked him to point out John Mackin. "That's him,' said Mr. Spydell, pointing at the one-time Jordan. . "I've got a warrant for your arrest on a charge of disorderly eonduct," Mr. Hall told Mackin. He suggested that if Mackin would put up a $10 cash bond it would not be necessary to go to the hall, but Mackin decided to walk up with the officer, and he did so. protesting his innocence all the way. At the hall Chief Williams recogniz ed the defendant in the sum of $25 bond 'with Mr. Spydell as surety, and fixed the date of the trial at May 1st. : The only ray . of light in Mackin's gloomy state of mind yesterday after noon was the thought that he is leav ing: the city Saturday, and that Su perintendent Spydell will be minus the $25 bond when the case, comes up May 1st. - .' And this will be taken from him to day, when the.:news is broken gently to him that yesterday was April fool day. , ';v;. ' Tinft Tnh ff Butter' Found. Last nicht Mr. II. H.
