A LONG SWIM.

Captain Paul Boyton, the great swimmer
started from ST. Paul last Monday and will
continue down the Mississippi river past
this city until he reaches Cairo. At the
latter place he energies from the water, and
will go up to Fort Benton. He enters the
Missouri and floats down that stream to
ST. Louis. He is incased in an India rub
Der suit which is inflated and thus enables
him to float without the least effort.
He.expects to pass Rock Island some
time during next week as he proposes to
make the entire distance down to Cairo in
sixteen days.
At first it was thought he would lecture
in the larger cities along his route, but he
has given up such plan, and will continue
down the stream as fast as possible, only
making the necessary stops to replenish his
stock of provisions

A REPORT.

Yesterday evening it was stated that a
colored man whose name is given as Will
son and Robinson, got on little spree
and returned to his home near Fourth av-
enue and Twenty second street in very
ugly frame of mind He fiourished a re-
volver around, and terminated his calls
thenic exercises by discharging the weap-
on, the ball from which took effect in the
the fieshy part of the arm of one of his
children.
No complaint was formally entered to
the police, but an officer was detailed to
look up the facts last night. The children
in the neighborhood report that pistol
was fired during the evening, and some
state. that little colored girl was injured,
while others contend that no serious injury
resulted from the discharge
The eolored family deny that any dis
turbance occurred, and say that the report
was circulated to injure their good name
There are certainly some conflicting ac-
counts of the affair which should be in
vestigated.

painting his house in Moline, and received
several severe cuts about the face and
shoulders.
He was standing on ladder which
rested upon box, when the support gave
way and precipitated him to the ground,
some eleven feet below.
His forehead came in contact with the
sidewalk and inflicted a very severe
cash. A physician was summoned and
the injured man was removed to the house.
An examination disclosed the fact that two
ribs were broken and that internal injuries
had taken place. 1t is not known how Sc

Burglars are still prowling around our
vicinity, and every preeaution should be
taken to prevent them from securing any
booty, as well as to effect their arrest.
Last night burglars attempted to gain
an entrance into Battles grocery store by
breaking the window glass. They were
scared of, however, by Mr.. Summers, who
was attracted by the noise, and fastened
out to learn its cause. He saw two men
making their escape down the street, and
although he notified policeman, the men
had secreted themselves and were not ar
rested. This is the third attempt to enter
places of business in the city within few
weeks, and although prevented so far from
making haul, the thieves are only wait
ing favorable opportunity to do effectual
