A Card.

desire to say a word concerning the
cOWardly and dastardly assault made
| upon me in the st. Cloud hotel office
last Tuesday morning by Tai w. Leek, Jr.

Markley robbery L was retained as cOun-
sci for Rivers and Lindeman and, in

In those cases | was informed by Leon

robbery was committed that he HeOD-
ard), Williams, Rivers and others were
in his saloon playing poker, and while
they were so doing Tai Leek came into
the saloon this being about 1.30 a. M
procured glass of beer and sandwich
and came to where these others were
playing, looked at the game a few mo-
mentS and then went out. Shortly after
| learned this l sought and found Leek
in the st. Cloud office, when | told him
of what had been informed and who
Informed me, and that if necessary |
would use him as a witness, he told
me at that time he did not think he was
In LeOpard's saloon that night, he said
in fact he knew he was not there. /
then tried to refresh his memory by ask
ing him among other things where he
was that night, but he could not tell
me, although he could tell me where he
was the nights before and after. 1 then
left him, telling him at the same time |
would use him as witness if | found it
necessary, to save my clients.
At the time of the trial of the above
parties for the said robbery my clients
were dismissed. l had subpeOned no
witnesses and l made no statement of
any kind whatever alluding to Leek or
anybody else. In fact, | made no state

breakfast at the st. Cloud. On coming
out of the dining room walked to the
railing of the stairs and reached out my
hand to procure my OveTcOat, when re-
ceived blow from behind, struck by
Leek; perhaps, two or three of them,
which felled me to the floor. Leek was
thereupOn grabbed by Mayor PierO, who
held him and took him away. l was so
stunned and dazed by the cOwardly
blows that it was five or ten minutes
before could think of anything.
This is the true and correct statement
of the whole affair and for which have
abundant proof.

and sudden surprise, which has cast a
gloom over the entire community. Be-
tween six and seven o'clock in the even
ing, Daniel Rice and Lincoln Murphy,
the telegraph operator, with a number
OF others, were standing on the street
cOnversing. Murphy, piayfulIy, asked
Rice to strike him in the breast to see
how much of a shock he could sustain.
Rice struck and said, 81 did not strike
very hard" "NO," said Murphy, and
dropped down, expiring as he spoke. A
physician was called who pronounced
the case heart disease. Mr.. Murphy was
aged twenty-One yeaas, and the son of
MIR. Abraham Murphy of that village.
MIR. Rice is prOstrated with grief and
has the sympathies of all in the unfore-
seen result of the blow. Mr.. Murphy
was an estim Il ley ung man who TODD

ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
Bank Clerk Knocks Down An Attorney
in the st. Cloud Hotel

- CAoEA HAhochS Down An attorney
in the st. Cloud Hotel.
Last Tuesday morning a knock-down
took place in the office Of the st. Cloud
Hotel, Mr.. Charles Upham, an attorney
in this city, being assaulted by Tai. W.
Leek, Jr., clerk in the City National
Bank. At the time of the GreentOWn
burglary, Jacob Leopard, proprietor of a
saloon under the Opera House, was ar
rested on suspicion of being implicated
and in order to prove an alibi said that
MIR. Leek was in his place until after
midnight playing cards with him that
evening. The case against Leopard be-
Ing dismissed, did not come to trial, but
this information was quietly talked
around, and Leek became convinced that
1t was started by Upham, whether true
not, We cannot say. At any rate, on
tuesday morning as Mr.. Upham came
out of the breakfast-rOOm of the st.
Cloud Hotel, where both are boarding,
MIR. Leek stepped up behind him and hit
him a blow on the side of the head,
Knocking him down, after which he
kicked him. A large number of guests
were present, who separated the two
men and Upham regained his feet, and
went before Justice Bond and filed an
affidavit for assault and battery, the
case to be tried next Saturday. He then
consulted with his attorneys Messrs.
Baldwin q Shields and filed a suit for
damages in the Court of Common Pleas
in the sum of $1,000. Mr.. Leek vehe-
mently denies having been in LeOpard's
place on the night in question, and the
whole matter will receive due ventila-
tlOn IN court proceedings.

The Opera House was well filled last
evening with an intelligent and critical
audience to see the charming Mile
Rhea in the charming drama of "Adri-
enne," supported by the Newton GOtt-
hold Company. The costumes and stage
dresses were elegant and rich. Mile
Rhea is a talented and impassiOned
artistic, and her portrayal of cutting vet
courteous female sarcasm and hate in
the delicate side play of jealousy and
scandal, wherein the Princess de BOul-
lion was chief party, was true to nature
and received merited appreciation. Ed
ward Varney, as NJ. MichOnet, was also
excellent, and his rendition of the char
acter shows the finished actor. The
support otherwise was fair. The music
by the Grand Army Band was very ac-
ceptable feature of the evening enter
tainment.

Ruhman, Ernst & Co. say they never
did so much business in so short a time,
during their entire long business career,
as for the past five months, and ascribe
1T all to the extremely low prices they
have been able to offer by securing the
stocks of Eastern manufacturers to sell
on consignment. The last one was the
largest of all, and what remains after
March 1st will be sent back, to make
room for spring styles. In order to
close out, they offer special reduced
rates on OvercOats and suitings, which
make their competitors weep with grief
at the low figures. Remember, only
