large quantity of seed, so that he may have
atull supply on hand to last for the entire
seasons run, before the rivers get so high
that the raw material can not be procured.
The mills will start up on double time,
two gangs of men being employed, one at
night, the other during the day.
Two white men had bad fight IN
house on Thirteenth street Sunday fore
noon. One Of them, Sam Strong, steam
boatman, and generally known as hard
case, wasin the house when the other
young stranger named Chas. Young, of
Carmi, came in. Strong Immediately be-
gan quarrel, and being replied to in
kind, drew 4 sharp dagger and pounccd
upon Young, who drew his pistol in self
defense. Strong inflicted several bad cuts
on Young's face, Que clear across his cheek
and one through his upper lip; and Young
fired one shot, the ball passing through
Srong's car and through the muscle of tue
neck just back OF and below the ear.
Young's coat was also badly slashed in
halt dozen places. The men then drop
ped their weapons and clinched, and about
this time Officer McTlgue came upon them
and after severe struggle succeeded in
parting them and placing them under ar
rest. Strong was taken to the ,alaboose
and Young was conducted to the Office of
DR.. Parker who dressed his wounds, and
he was then given in charge of Constable
Martin, who is guarding him until he shall
have been examined and given bal! if call
ed on to do so. The examination will
probably take place to-day.
With this issue of THE BULLETIN Mr..
f. W. Thielecke sewers his connection with
the paper, and by the time this announce
ment reaches the public, he will be on his
way to Lock Haven Pa, where he expects
to join his brother, Ernest, in the publica-
ton Of daily and weekly Democratic pa
per- Having spent seventeen years In this
city, the greater part and by far the most
pleasant part of his life, he naturally finds
it painful to leave, even though in doing so
he Is tempted by a reasonably certain
prospect of pecuniary advantage. His ca
reer on THE BULLETIN dates from 1885,
and during the nearly four years included
ed in that period he has had much rea-
son to feel grateful to the public for its
kindly consideration. He will dismiss his
work during this time with the hope that
the friendship of his friends and the char.
ity OF all will serve to shield him against
harsh judgments for whatever weaknesses
he may have shown. He leaves with the
kindest feelings for Cairo and her people,
with firm faith in her ability to be safe,
strong and prosperous, in spite of circum-
stances that doom her neighbors to wretch
edness and ruin: and he will take adyan-
tage OF every opportunity, wherever he may
be, to counterac', so far as he
may, whatever preiudices may exist
IN the popular mind elsewhere
against Cairo. 1t is just possible that the
hopes which now inspire him will not be
realized fully, or that the disappointment
will outweigh the fulflmen', in which case
he would be very apt to do as many, many
other Cairoites have done before, and return
"home," even though assured that no fatted
calf awaited him, but only the friendships
which he had left behind. He takes this
opportunity to bid those of ,his friends
whom he has not been able to see personal
ly, arcgretful farewell.
