Disgrace"
Eleven brazen-faced danes left their
hotel on Monday afternoon and proceeded
to the Fair Grounds there to show up their
clumsiness and give the boys and those
naughty old men chance to pipe their
"gams." Who left the gates OF our city
open? There was no breeze on Monday.
Stephen c. Warner well known in con.
nection with the malleable iron interests OF
our CITY, and who it is known has been an

stroke of paralysis, died at an early hour on
Monday morning. His remains Will be

BRUTALITY IN It's FIRST DEGREE. AT the
termination of our ''dame" hippodrome on
the fair grounds on Monday afternoon
there occurred scene that for brutality
exceeds any thing that has darkened the an
nails of crime of our city for wears. From
parties who witnessed the deed and also its
outgrowings, we learn that small outbreaks
had been the order of the afternoon be-
tween two parties, one led by Clark Frank
house, we'll known throughout the city for
his connection with disreputable Dances
and lately as a prominent partner III sun.
day beer garden beyond the city limits, and
the other Ben. Hayes, mulatto, aged
eighteen years, known to the frequenters
of the fair grounds as an attendant
upon the horses stabbed there. The
game came to an unsatisfactory finish
about half-past 4 O'clock and part of the
attendants had closed in upon the girls,
when cry of Eight" rang out, and a
rush was made for the scene. Hays, 1t
seems, had started the ball again by strlk-
ing Farmhouse across the arm with
plank and had Immediately taken fight.
He was followed by one of the Farmhouse
party, who run him down, and thereupon
struck him with his fist with such force as
to knock him down and fall himself,
Farmhouse must have been in close pur-
suit, for neither had gained their feet before
Farmhouse was seen to flourish piece of
scantling two by four inches and bring it
down with great force several times upon
Hays head. Farmhouse soon af-
ter left the grounds and Hays
was taken up, bleeding at the ears and
mouth, and placed in an express wagon
and taken to the office of DIR. Dunlap, who
pronounced Hays to be fatally injured, his

then conveyed to the Infirmary About
dusk Farmhouse and John Chase, who,
it is claimed by some, was party en-
gagged, appeared in the Mayors Court the
same, as we'll as the pavement in front Of
the building, being packed by a motley
crowd, assembled mostly out of curiosity
and for the purpose of assisting should
there be any possible chance for an out
break. Just previous to the prisoners
being conveyed to Jail a report reached
the city that Hays had died, which
was discussed by the throng, and
Lynch-law loudly talked of. Notwith-
standing this, the only effort upon the part
Of the authorities for the protection OF the
prisoners when removing them to Jail, was
the locking of the door Of the room leading
to Limestone street. which movement was
followed by rush for the back way by
those upon whom the key was turned.
Arriving upon Limestone street they found
that Farmhouse and Chase had been en-
trusted only to the care of Marshal Hay
wood and Deputy Knox. Cries Of hang
him and kill the s-of b.! went up, fol-
lowed by the hurting of large stone which
struck Farmhouse in the back of the head
Hayward turned upon the gang when oppo-
site the alley, just above Limestone on
High street, and, with drawn revolver, bid
them desist, at the same time pushing the
prisoners in the alley, under the care of
Knox from whom, during the excitement,
they made a break and succeeded in escap-
ing both the authorities and mob. Those
in authority should be highly censured for
thus allowing prisoners to be removed and
under the guidance of two men only when
the bowling rabble surrounded the place.
Not even were handouts placed upon their
men when at times it is uncommon to see
drunks conducted to and from the Station
house with them. Marshal Hayward does
not deserve the censure cast upon him, and
his mistake was innocenty made and he
did his duty until overpowered. People
will do we'll to consider before they con-
denim. A special to our young man from
the Infrmary at midnight states that Hays
was still living, but that his death was mo-
mentarily expected.
