! obeying this custom, one OF the boys took bot
panions also drank from the other bottles, and
the whole crowd were finally driven of by the
proprietor OF the restaurant. The boy who had
taken the first drink, and whose name Was Willie

when he fell on the sidewalk in dying con-
ditlon. He WAS picked up and carried to tue
Office Of Dr.. Frazer, where he died in a few
minutes. It is tho supposition Of the attending

tan Phelrnan, No. 26 Clybourn avenue; Joseph
achuster, No. 742 Larrabee street, and Potter

intended to revoke the licenses Of all the NOM
bera Of the saloon-Keepars' Union who kept
open last Sunday in accordance with the order
passed by that body but the resolution having
been rescinded, he concluded to deal 1eniently
with them. In looking over the list Of those
who kept khoir places open he found quite
number who had frequently defed the law, and
hence their licenses we're revoked. Il they sell
in defiance Of the law they will get into trouble.
The Mayor said yesterday that any organized at
tempt to trample the Sunday Law under foot
would result in defeat, for he would revoke the
license OF every saloon-keeper who participated
in it, showing partiality to none-
band of assassins and robbers seem to have
made tho Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroads their basa Of opera
tions. While only two or three days ago Ger
man named Kundhnger WAS robbed OF Ills watch
and chain on the Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail-
road, just outside the city limits, another Ger
man named William Henry Meyer appeared yes
terday at the Office Of the German Society with
cut two inches long and several inches deep in
his right arm, which was SO badly swollen that lie
came from Manistee, Mich, on tho Chicago j
Northwestern Railroad for the purpose Of visiting
some friends in the interior OF the State, and
while the train YVES entering the city aad be was
standing on the rear platform, two men, also on
the platform, began to speak to him, and one Of
them grasped him by tho throat, while the other
ritled his pockets OF his watch and S26. He
made an effort to free himself from their grasp,
when one Of them stabbed him in the arm. They
then jumped or the train and IS it IVES about
we're soon out Of sight. The German society
procured railroad ticket for the unfortunate
man, and supplied him with enough money to
reach his home in Mnnlstee.
