"A Gang of Eight Boys Go Through u Party
of FOur.

"A tang OF Eight Boys Go Through Party
of Four.
Thursday. DR.. J. Fl. Bryant dispatched four
boys, two of whom were his sons, to distribute
professional circulars around town. In the
course of their travels the four youngsters
went away out on Dayton avenue. This was
jolly enough for this crowd, and would have
continued SO if they hadn't met another crowd
OF youngsters. But they did, and this second
crowd, eight in number turned out
to be gang. The eight began hostilities by
inviting the Bryant boys to knock chip Of
their shoulders: The Bryant four were il the
and declined. The eight gang scratched a
mark IN the dust and invited the DOCTORS cir
culators to circulate on the other side of it.
The four didn't want to make close acquaint-
ance with the eight. The eight then
dared 'em to come over. The doctors
mathematically, but not muscularly, SO didn't
accept the day. Then one of the eight pulled
one of the four across the line, and deceived
the rest of the eight by declaring that the one
of the four had bad the temerity to inva !e
their domain, duly bounded by no imaginary
line. Then the eight went. into the four
muscularly, and beat them, pounded
them and otherwise doubled up
on the four, with tremendous application Of
force. The Bryant boys came out of the scrinl--
mage very much frescoed; moreover their
pockets were picked, and they were robbed of
all their circulars.
Report Of the affair was made to the doctor,
and yesterday he swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Will Preston, II. Hazard, Frank and
John o. Brien George Schroeder, Richard hoe.
John Doe and another boy.
Officer Clouse went out to make the arrest,
but succeeded only in effecting Will Preston's
capture. Even he wouldn't come until the Of
ficer produced the warrant, declaring free
born American he wouldn't be deprived of his
liberty unless by due process of law. The case
will be investigated in the municipal court to-
daV.

WARNING EXPRESS COMPANIES.
The New Union Company Crowding the

The New Union Company Crowding the
Southern Company Out-An Appeal to
the Courts.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 22.-The war among the
express companies is rapidly nearing crisis.
The Louisville & Nashville road will uphold
the new Union company in most decided
manner and the only recourse of the Southern
express company will be in the courts. Supt.
Rowland, of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road, in Il circular directed the local agents
of the company to deliver goods only to the
day Mr.. Guthrie, president of the Union COM
pany, said, I'VE are still on top and doing
splendidly. None of the Southern messen-
gers came up last night or went out yesterday
The matter is all setted now so far as we are
concerned. The only only trouble lies between
the Louisville & Nashville road and
the Southern company. They may 60
to law about it, but I don't
think they will. They never had a
Sashvilio SGa 1tS% road 'ne Their A0qisv0 nes on,&
extended south from Nashville. They made
the best term they could make with the railroad
companies end they have no right to interfere
with us in our contract"
The legal point to be discussed is whether a
railroad company, as common carrier, has the
right to discriminate between two companies
claiming like privilege on like basis. The
Southern people say the contract made with
the Union company is much more favora BILE
than that made with them and complain that
injustice has been done them.
NASHVILLE, Aug, 22.-The management of
the Louisville & Nashville and Great Southern
railway, to-day refused to allow the Southern
express company to send messengers and
frelghts over that line except through the
Union express company or by freight train.
Messengers of the Southern and freight we're
rendered at the outgoing of every passenger
train, but were refused

ST. LOUIS STRIKERS.

"A General Movement Among Mechanics
and Laborers For au Advance in Wages
or Reduction of Working Hours.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.-A very strong DISPOSE
ton to strike for higher wages has manifested
itself among mechanics and some classes of la
borers here, during the past few weeks. The
cooper strike of more than month ago is not
yet arranged. Several bosses are still holding
out against the demands of the men. The lum-
ber teamster strike did not amount to any
thing worthy of notice, but the action of the
ciga- makers, two or three days ago,
hes now become Sc general that
nearly all members of that iscraft
have stopped work and quite number of
employers have agreed to pay the advance asked
yesterday. Thelc was movement among the
stove moulders for an increase Of Is per cent.
in piece work and the restoration of what they
call board price. This has been refused by
most of the foundry proprietors, and nearly all
the stove moulders IN the city stopped work
to-day. The stree! car conductors and drivers
have now got the fever to some extent, but
they have determined upon no plan of action yet.
They don't want more pay, but a less number
Of working hours. They now average about
fifteen hours.

MINNEAPOLIS FAIR GROUNDS.
Thomas H. Garfield Trying to Reclaim His
Property.

While Bill King is booming his fair in Min
neapolis, a little surprise party was prepared
for him in this city yesterday. 1t was the filing
of complaint in the U. s. circuit court to re-
cover $105,0O from him and certain other par
ties, who constitute in themselves the moguls
of the Minneapolis show. The suit is entitled,
Thomas b. Garfield vs.. VIM. 8. King,
Richard J. Mendenhall, Thomas Lowry, w.
D. Washburn, Calvin G.. Goodrich, George F.
Stevens, VIM. w. Eastman, Wilson P. West
fall, Dorillus Morrison and George A. Brackett.
Following this title the complaint sets forth
in sum and substance that VIM. s. King ct al,
through VIM. 8. King representations came it
over plaintiff in most dispicable way.
The facts alleged are that plaintiff purchased
of VIM. 6. King ct al. a certain lot of land, to-
wit:
The northwest quarter of the northeast quar-
ter of section 36, township q, range 26 west and
the west three-fourths of the northeast quarter
of the same section-containing seventy acres,
less five, which were given over to the Min
neapolis Harvester Works.
In other words, the above parties claimed to
represent and to be the directors, board of
management, controllers, ETC., of the Mime
and the seventy acres less i've acres, is the
ground upon which Bill King proposes to ex-
hibit this fall.
The agreement for the sale and pur-
chase was entered into in August,
1878; the payment for same being stipulated
to be $65, 900 worth of Northern Pacific gold
bearing bonds at discout valuation of ninety
cents on the dollar and the balance in notes
maturing in one, two and three years with in
terest at the rate of 10 per centum. In Sep.
tember. 1878, the sale was con-
sumated, the money paid and the
deed for the property duly delivered
to plaintiff signed by all the above named, who
represented themselves as duly authorized to
make the sale and conveyance. Following this,
say along in November of the same year, plain
tiff found himself victim, go he alleges, to
the oily tongue and false declarations Of VIM.
8. King. In other words, Bills assertions that
he and pals were owners of the property in
fact, in anything but fancy, was 'sfalse and
untrue" And just about this time Rufus J.
Baldwin and the State National bank brought
suit to have plaintiffs deed declared void. A
Hennepin county court declared it void.
Stripped of legal confusion plaintiff alleges he
paid out 1856 900 or thereabouts, and $1 1000 or
more to defend his deed, and after all had
nothing to show for his money, which William
s. King got. Therefore plaintiff prays that the
court will cause defendant to pay him $1O5,-
900 to cover his own disbursements, no equiva-
lents, and all costs herein.

At 9 O'Clock last night an alarm of fire was

Of smoke, nor the sign of q spark.
Naturally everybody inquired, why was the
alarm given? The GLOBE gives answer. John

Of light in one of the elevator windows, and
from the sixth story down on the river bank,

IT the people turn out Saturday and canvass
the matter, we would about as soon stand in
Pillsbury's position as in Wakefeld's; and it
is reasonable that the masses of the people are
friendly to Pillsbury. He was their friend at
a time when friends were in need, and such
generous and unostentatious acts of charity as
he performed for southwestern Minnesotians
entitled him to the lasting gratitude of the
people at large. There is no doubt that had
Pillsbury made canvass of this part of the
State, his ''boom'' would have been booming
by this time. As it is we regard the situation
as very doubtful for Wakefield, and from care
full observation infer that if the people turn
ont to their caucuses and send wide-awake del
egations, southwestern Minnesota will surprise
both Pillsbury and Wakefield.
