probably something else. yesterday morning
entered the commission house OF George A.

a:ely fell To the door. MIR. Kinnicr, thinking
that he WAS probably suffering from sum
stroke or some other sudden illness, alI-
preached ami asked some questions, TO which
he received no satisfactory response. The
stranger, however, regained all upright posi-
ton and pushed Mr.. kinnicr backwards over
pile OF hOrse-colIarS which lay on the floor,
and in which. his feet became entaDgled in
such manner Us TO throw him, the stranger
failing on him.
The hystanders pulled the stranger away,
but he insisted upon whipping MIR, kinniee,
and that gentleman, who strangely enough
did moi lose control of his temper, wis COM
PEELED to knock him down with Il stick, but
not until tue stranger had struck him VIC
lent blow on the head Willie pretending that
he desired to make up the matter and be
friendly. ...
Two policemen finally interviewed the
stranger, but they conld do nothing with
him until they had struck him with their
clubs and decorated his arms with the snip
pers." He was lodged in the cage after a
vast amount of hard work, and will have an
opportunity of explaining the matter before
our new Mayor this morning. He is cv.'
