land have been burned in Kent,

large fire is still raging in the two

several destructive fires on timber

A TOUGH OLD TIME.
Street Car BIockade-A Double Fight
Against Arrest-Probably the
Result of CareIessnnss.


At half-past ten o'clock last evening a
street car blockade of large dimensions oc-
Cured on the corner of Wabashaw and
Fourth streets, evidently caused by misun
Outstanding of dozen or more Germans,
who it is thought mistook some ohter car for
a University street car, and loading into it
dropped their nickels into the till, and on
discovering their error proposed to have the
driver refund their money, and refused to
let him bulge on with his car until he did.
Captain Bresette and Officer Nugent tried
to break the blockade, but the irate travellers
refused to be interfered with, making the
widest demonstrations and proposing to
fight it right out there if it took all summer.
The captain, blowing his whistle for aid,
with Nugent charged into the car and
brought out his man, whom he delivered to
Officers Babe and Bruso, who had arrived,
but as Officer Nugent was getting out with
his man he was pitched upon by the
others in the car and knocked down. The
other three officers came to his relief, when
the liveiiest knock down fight in the city for
a long spell of weather occurred in that car,
out of which the officers secured four prison
ers, the balance of the party having taken
fright and to their heels and escaped. A
large crowd of spectators had assembled and
with the blockade the scene was for a few
minutes one of the liveliest excitement, all
the windows of the injuncted car having been
broken in the melee.
On the arrival of the prisoners at the city
hall they refused to be locked up or to listen
to any reason, talking to each other in the
widest manner in their language, and on
the attempt of the officers to run them into
cells fought them like tigers. Although Off
Ger O'Keefe also took hand in there were
numerous knock downs on both sides, bloody
noses and torn garments and many big
blotches of blood on the Office floor testify to
very hard fought battle before they were
subdued and locked up by the force.
Later in the evening the GLOBE reporter
aided by an interpreter subsidized from the
tramp room, learned of them that they were
four brothers named Fred, Gottlieb, Adam
and viii Hag, that they had been in st. Paul
two years; that they werecarpenters by trade,
and lived at the end of the University car
line. but it was impossible to get any further
intelligence from them, they not seeming to
be able to converse any more intelligibly in
their own language than in English.
Officer O'Keefe said he had seen nothing
like this to remind him of an old-time honest
fight in many year-''It was the tallest kind
of business for US for ten minutes, you can
bet your bottom dollar, uncle"

ROLAND REED.

The Roland Reed company open an engage
ment at the Grand tonight in the amusing
comedy Of "Cheek.'' In referring to the
play New Orleans exchange says:
Mr.. Roland Reed met with hearty recep-
ton at the Academy last night, in his new
play, "Cheek." Long before the doors
opened the crowd extended across the side
walk into the street. When the time arrived
the rush was great and Treasurer Mauberret
had his hands full. The house was soon
packed from the uttermost corner of the
gallery to the rearmost seat of the parquette.
When Mr. Reed made his first appearance in
the first act, spontaneous cheer went up
that made the house yibrate. TWAS tribute
to that gentleman, of which he ought to be
proud. Throughout the play, which affords
many opportunities for Mr.. Reeds rare
comedy powers, he fully carried out all that
was expected of him and more. His songs,
of which he was compelled to sing number,
were vociferously applauded, and he sent his
audience away captivated. -Times Democrat,
