a Box Car.
His hat must have been at the Elec-
tric Theatre or atended the Cora and
1-otta performances. It had a queer
and unexplalnable habit of disappear-
ing just as he made a grab for It.
The hat was lying on the railroad
track, at the place where Division
street crosses, near the oil tanks back
of the Holland Hotel. The man fell
down at the hat perhaps a doaen timet
before he caught It. As soon as he
got the coveted article on his head .
