A pair of drunkoa fellows we're about
town last week mend.ng umbrellas. Nearly
every house has an umbrella or parasol need
ing repair, and they approach the lady of any
house with the remark, "a gentleman up
town sent US here for parasol or umbrella
or sn'thin' you want mended, madam" The
lady is always anxious to have the article
mended and readily produces it if she has it.
II she has no. they leave remarking that they
guess they are mistaken in the house, and 60
on to the next. When they get job they
charge from 35 cents to 81 for what is worth
to IS cents, and when they have an oppor>
tunity they cabbage slightly damaged and
easily repaired neO handle and substitute for
1t an old dingy worn out one. We followed
up these fellows and took from them some Of
our own property, and had resolved on GET
ting from them some Of our money they had
got by their imposition but found that when-
ever they got few dimes they went to John
Wright's and invested. We are great friend
to home patronage. Like many of our neigh
bors we always vote prohibition, too, but the
worst complaint we have to make against
Joha Wright's liquor is that it don't kill at
first sight.
Lancaster had big little row the other
day. There was Milw aukee NeSs man in
at John Wrights getting subscriptions for his
paper He is wise man and knows where
to go to find Milwaukee News subscribers
Johe Wyness-guess that's his name-was
there, and he had in his hat just fighting
quantity Of liquor. He wanted the Milwau,
kee man to treat. Failing to get the liquor
by coaxing he used threats. This also failing
he made some assaults and offered to whip
the Milwaukee man unless he would give him
a dime. That was cheap and he should have
been given dime to whip any man who
would get subscribers for the Milwaukee News.
Marshal Griffin was there. He asked Wyness
20 keep STILL Wyness assured him he
wouldn't keep still for him or any other id
man. Griffin tried 70 persuade him to go
home told him he would have to arrest
him if he didn't behave better. The words
had no effect. In the meantime Milwaukee
man was using his wiles upon Griffin to get
him to subscribe for the NsWs. Griffin got SO
far along as to get out his money to pay for
six months of his police circulars. Wyness
saw the money and il must have. made him
wild, or he wanted TO save our Marshal from
the calamity of becoming subscriber to the
Milwaukee NeeS He made grab for the
Marshal. His big claws got good hold in
the Marshsls shirt and when the officer got
away from him all the visible parts of his
shirt we're still in Wyness's claws, torn into
shreas. Marshal Griffin then undertook to
arrest Wyness. The crazed man resisted.
He said he could whip the Marshal or any
other man in town. He gave Griffin hard
kick in the breast. Griffin undertook to lead
him out. Geo. BEIGE assisted and in the
struggle Wyness was thrown on the floor HI
promised to so peacefully then, if they would
let him. They let him up bus he went tC
fighting again. They boosted him out and
up the steps. He became more desperate
clir0hed with Griffin and both came dowr
with heavy thump upon the sidewalk ,Grifir
on top, but Wyuess's arms locked tightly
around his neck The under mans head was
over the edge of the walk and be was bleed
ing at The mouth He seemed TO be tryini
to bi.e Griffin in the face aud might have so
hold with bis teeth il Boice had not unlccke,
his arms. A crowd was collected and the.
looked on When Wyness was let up agai
he continued his clawing, striking and kick
ing This part of the scene we witnesses
from our sanctum wiz low That was as clos
as we cared to be. Griffin tried TO walk hin
along but he wouldn't 60. Boice got hold Q
his legs to try TO carry him, but he is a bi
stout fellow and he sent Boice away as il b
were football Wyness was down again
Some motions were made to kick him. Co
Clark, who is Mayor, came TO the scene a
this time and ordered that there should b
no kicking or assaults. Charley Bsnret. cam
