Tho Wronu Man.

Sometimes the hoodlums get hold
OF q tough customer, rs they did last
night. II was about ~ o'clock when
Miller, the Australian Hercules, was
passing along Van Ness avenue near
broadway, from his wrestling match,
when about q dozen festive hoodlums at
tempted familiarities with him. One
jammed his hat over his eyes, and an
other wiped him across tho face with q
decayed turnip, while they joined in
shouts Of laughter at the neat success Of
the trick. Miller pushed up his hat and
singled out the biggest in the lot, hit
him q tap between the eyes that flat
tened his nose over his countenancs like
q Chronicle war map. Then he grabbed
another by the feet and began to lay
about, using the fellow as = club. He
made short work OF that gang. One he
lifted in the rear with his boot. and land
cd him in a front yard, doubled up
across the status Of q couched Venus,
and the rest he left empalsd on the iron
pickets along his route. The man he
had in his hands. he used to fail the
rest with, and then chucked him sense
less down nm old sewer. while some po-
licsmen came along soon after with con-
vsyapces and took the whole gang 10 the
hospitals. =. Stock Report, Dec. o.

worse, Miss Braddon had q circular

And now comes the Siirer STATE with

liar. In other words ii says that the re-

about Frank Stewart. Mr.. Fox, and the

sheer fabrication from beginning to end.
II seems to US that the publication OF
such stories about our citizens is going
too far, sven rs q matter Of practical
joking. Having copied from the S'lrer
STATE the article in question, We also take
from its columns q denial thereof, which
appears in yesterdays issue. although
We are not SURE whether the said denial
is not also untrue. A journalist must
be very hard up for local or news items,
