Boys who are snow ballIng, especially
near the schools on the south hill had better
stop the sport, as complaints have been made
to the police, who have orders to arrest all

/ in ones ear.

We learn petition is being circulated in
Oak Park, to have certain trains stop on the

| Officer Walters is summoned to be at
Osceola on Friday to attend the trial of Beck

George that he committed the deed. On
| Sunday, Beckman was arrested here By the
sheriff Of Polk county, and in a couple of
days thereafter he was indicted by the Grand
jury, and on Friday the trial comes on, This
is speedy justice. Judge Nethaway and our
police force may well claim credit
Late on Tuesday evening team belong
ing TO Farmer, the liveryman, came dashing
across the bridge from the Wisconsin side,
minus the cab. 1t appears that Mr.. Farmer
had sent one of his men with parties to Har
mons Landing, and while coming back
in going down bill near there one of the
tugs got loose, and soon all of them became
detached from the whifIletrees, when the pole
dropped and the driver wisely let the reius
/ 90. The horses came home directly 10 the
barn, and neither a strap nor buckle was
broken. 1t was lucky runaway.
| BY referring to the action of the city eoun-
ell on Tuesday evening, it is seen that COM
mittee has been appointed to confer as to the
sidewalk on North Third street opposite Mr.
PEARLS property where Mrs. O'Donnel broke
| her arm. Should not action be taken at once
and have the nuisance remedied, because,
should another accident happen there, jury
/ would not consider whether the city council
committee took to the next meeting or not
to report what action should be taken. The
only thing they would consider was, that the
committee had been notified and were dire
lect in their duty. Remove the nuisance and
prevent danger.
| On Tuesday evening Chief of Police Matt
Shortall, was taken suddenly i'll, and had to
be carried to his residence in a cab. During
the morning he complained of a pain in his
back and side, saying he Was never free
from pain for the past three years, when he
wrencbed himself stopping runaway team
to save lady's life, and at that time he felt
as II a knife had been thrust through his
spine. From that injury he has been several
! times confined to his house. Yesterday he
was somewhat better from the attack of the
previous evening, and was able to sit up part
of the day. We hope to see him around
again in few days.
! At the municipal court yesterday morning
Andrew Peterson was up for stealing a valise
and bag belonging to shantyman named
Watson. Peterson arrived on Tuesday from
st. Paul, having come afoot. His baggage
and forage consisted of red herring, and
as he wanted a square meal he grabbed Wat
| sons outfit and was drawn to the cooler
This morning the judge sentenced him to a
/ $50 fine and costs, and in default sixty days
in the county jail. 1t could not be expected
that a gentleman who walked from St. Paul
4 and had red herring as his whole stock in
| trade would be very flush of cash, and so he
took sixty days without a grin, and will
spend his holidays in limbo.
The body Of the late Sammy Hersey ar
rived yesterday morning via the Milwaukee
road in charge of his uneles, and was taken
to the residence of Col Rock Hersey. The
funeral takes place this afternoon at O'Clock
from Col. Hersev's residence, where the
funeral services will be held. Those friends
of Sammy who wish to take a last look Of his
face, will have an opportunity Of doing so
between the hours of 10 a. m, and p. m :,
to-day. This sudden death falls most heavily
on the father and mother, who, in a moment
have been left ehildless by the death of their
bright boy, and it is particularly heavy on the
mother, who has been for long time in del
icate health. Very little is known about his
death, only that day or two before his
death he was a little sick, and the day he
died he was not out, although better, for fear
he might take cold. About midnight he
awoke feeling i'll, and getting uphe attempted
to walk, when after taking two OF three
steps he fell in spasm, from which he could
not be taken. The parents and friends have
the heartfelt sympathy of every person in the
city, and all regret the death of their young
friend.
