Sunday evening, Mr.. w. II. Peck,
while returning home along Wabash
avenue, near Thirty-third street, at
a late hour, was assaulted by three
footpads when nearly opposite his
home, No. 1871 Wabash avenue.
Notwithstanding the fact that one of
the rufiians held revolver in close
proximity to his head, Mr.. Peck
bawled Justify, which brought to the
scene Roundsman Arch and officer
Cahill, of the Cottage Grove Avenue
Station. They succeeded in arrest
ing two of the chaps, who gave their
names as Henry s. Schmidt and
Frank Keerney, and were immediate.

were yesterday held in $4,000 bail
each to the Criminal Court by
Justice Summertield, and the lat

PecIs's head and committing the
assault Chicago 2Hbmpe.
lT is well for Chicago that no

WE do not commend the action Of
the county Board in reducing The
salary Of County Superintendent.
That officer, if he does his du'y
faithfully, earns all he gets, and a
reduction, we apprehend, will have
u tendency TO prevent the best and
most competent men from accepting
the posi- ion. The spilefhi manner
in which the Supcrintendent-editor
,of the Denocrdt refers to the ma :
ter, however, and his ungenllemanIy
attack upon Supervisor Coates, are
in very bad taste, TO say the least.

FIRST HEAT FOR THE TAN FiGHT-

Iowa County against the recalci-
trant people of Mineral Point, who
refused to pay their ii per cent. tax
in 1878, has given a decision against
the county. Now the circuit court
will be called upon to sustain or Sc,
aside the decision Of the Referee
and then, probably, whatever way
the court goes, the defeated party
will appeal to the Supreme court
The tax.fghters, thus far, are ahead
and feel quite sanguine OF keeping
that position TO the end.
