lision with large body in its frigid state, was
in the city yesterday, receiving congratulations
of numerous friends. The commodore, while
still showing the effects of his collision, in
halting walk, has as clear an eye and steady
nerve as in the days of Auld Lang 6yne, and
will be found at his post on his favorite craft
this summer, as of yore.
The notorious Tom Scott, whose assault on
Officer Calvin has never been adequately pun
ished, made himself fragrant out at Lake Como
on Sunday afternoon. True to bis ready pro-
pensities, he tried to get into fight of his own
making, but no one would indulge him. Des-
pairing, he pitched on to a young man named
Jones, and forced him to defend himself. In
the melee Scott brutality bit Jones above the
eye, taking out piece of flesh and also chawed
his finger. Jones got the better of the ruffian
finally, and had him at his mercy, but mag
unanimously and foolishly released the ruff
fan without giving him the punishment he so
richly deserved.

P. 8. Peabody was expecting a present of
trout from three of lis Eau Claire friends, and
called in some of his st. Paul friends, when
the box arrived, to see the beauties. They
saw, not trout, but three nasty looking suck
ers. Smith is having the fist picked, and in
tends to label the jar with the names Of his
Eau Claire friends. After that is done he is
going to Eau Claire to teach the deputy sheriff,

The story isn't all against the mail carriers.
As told in the GLOBE last week, an investigs-
tion took place in regard to certain city mail
carriers failing to pay their debts. The in
vestigation was undertaken at DR.. Days re-
outcome would indicate that one of the car
riers had failed to meet current bills, but that
he was prevented by liquidating an odd debt Of
large amount. Friends have come to his
rescue and squared him on his present accounts,
waiting for him to take it out of his $500 per
annum to repay them.
