False Report
There was no truth in the report of an
attempt to kill Willie .Wittig. Neither
was the latter fighting, as the INTELLI-

'Mr. Wittig, which he was not man enough |
to take up in fair way, or else he thought !
he was playing q smart joke.
Disorderly Darkeys.
Bill Turner, Sol Morris and Ike Make, |
three colored roughs, made an assault on
Mr.. John Clark, yesterday. The gentle !
man, who is one of the bosses at the stove |
works, offered them sum, which they |!
considered too small, to work there. They |
became abusive, were ordered off by Mr.. |
Clark, and finally ended by refusing togo,
and assaulted him. He knocked one Of |
them down with a pair Of pipe tOngs, and |
the employees Of the works finally put |
them to fight. They will have a hearing !
now, to night, before Squire Grier, for |
tresspassing, and being disorderly. Colum |
bia could get along very we'll without |
them If they were sent to prison for about |
year. Besides, il would be beneficial to |
them.

the same property. By Up. m. it was also !
in ruins. The cause Of the fire is not |
known. There is no insurance on the !
property. The Shawnee fire company
was the first on the scene, but owing to !
the pumps not taking water the Columbia
fire company Rad two streams playing on |
the flames before the former could get to !
work. The Shawnees were called out |
again in the evening by the chief burgess |
to subdue the fire, which had again begun |
to kindle.
