The CITY Suberbs.

say, Jones, SAID smith, lew
days ago. when the wind was from the
southwest. "can you tell me what
causes that peculiar, thoroughly mix
ed, double-distilled stencil in the air
that circulates through the city of
Alpena every time the wind blows
from the northeast, west or south
west,"
"Well, Smith" said Jones, IL am
somewhat astonished that you, a. resi-
dent Of Alpcna for eight years, and
have not yet solved that problem.
Sit down here few moments while |
give you little information on that
point. The peculiar oder in the at
mosphere, which you speak of, is
easily explained"
"Well, light your cigar and proceed.
/ am all attention"
"All right. And | may as well
commence by saying that if you will
walk out on almost any street that
leads out to. where you can find trees
or shrubbery in the outskirts of the
town, you will no longer wonder or
question rs to the cause of that dis
agreeable something that greets your
smelling apparatus. Why, only few
days ago | took a stroll abeut the sub
cribs, and to tell the truth, l actually
wondered that three-fourths of the
inhabitants of the city were not down
with cholera. scarlet fever, malaria,
and all the epidemics imaginable.
"Well. go on, tell me what you saw"
Certainly, certainly. Well, | walk
ed out OH one street where there was
a growth of small trees, bur' 80
and there strewn about, al ADo'
ground, were old barrels and boxes,
some nearly full, aud some containing
small collections of refuse, such as
sinking meat, spoiled fish, decaying
onions, potatoes, cabbage, turnips,
beets, and other vegetables, while
lere and there were dumped heaps Of
he same kind of material, from which
here came such n sickeniDg stencil
hat | wondered how on earth the
,ity officials would allow such things
o remain under their very noses, and
axe not the slightest notice of it.
"Now 60 with me to the plains,
outh and west of the city. About
he first spectacle will be REPETITION
f what have just told you, then
'ou will proceed for half mile
through just such an atmosphere when
-whew; great Scott what now?
Nothing, only the decaying remains of
defunct horse, from which there is
ues up foul stencil that is strong
nd able-bodied enough to knock Jim
ell out on the first round, or kill
ack Wyman without even striking a
low. Do you still wonder? Well,
IKE the whole round of the outskirts
f the city, and you will meet with
ne same panorama of sickness and
cath breeding barrels and boxes and
caps of decaying garbage, which have
cen carted to, rs a general thing, the
earest dumping ground. No, one
GEMS to care whether this stuff is
uried or not, and those who deposit
nc refuse in the outskirts of the city
Gem to have but one object in view
, get rid of the nuisance, as far as
hey are individually concerned, as
asily and cheaply as possible, with
OF the slightest regard for the health
r comfort of the citizens who are
bliged to live, many of them within
life shot of these foul heaps of breed
ng pestilence.
"Well, that will do. Take another
igar, and let us take stroll on the

Swede journeyman tailors, who work in a room
in the M@nnerchor Hall Block. Yesterday
morning dispute arose among them over who
was foreman of the squad. Martin Anderberg
claimed the honor, but the other workmen
would not have it that way. and submitted the
question to the firm, who said none of them were
superior in authority. When this news reached
the shop Anderberg drew a revolver. said he
would show them who was boss, and ran all the
workmen from the building. Four of the men
H. Petersen, A. Linderholm, A. Bergman and
P. Kost-went before the Mayor and swore out
warrant for the arrest of Anderberg on two
charges carrying concealed weapons and draw

FIGHTING IN COURT.
Two Irare Females Make Vicious Assault on
a Lawyer and Constable.

AT o'clock yesterday morning. tho time set
for the continuance of the Maidea-Shepherd
trial, the same crowd that had gathered at the
little courtroom the day before were present.
and when the defendants were brought over
from the Jail it was with difficulty that they
could make their way into the place. Quarter
master Shepherd soon appeared, but his way
ward son was not with him. having been kept at
home probably as penalty for stealing two
kisses from his prisoner bride the
evening before. The three women were
as troublesome as on the first day of
the trial and the prosecutors, Frank Wright and
John Healing were continually interrupted by the
Macy girl and Mrs. Shepherd with "thats lie
BY the time they had finished their speeches
there was blood in the eyes of the assaulted trio.
Joe Healing defended the women and made
quite long speech in their behalf, but to no
avail, for when he had finished Squire Feible-
man announced that he was satisfied the women
were very bad, and he fined each of them $25 and
costs.
The decision was hardly out Of his mouth
when the Macy woman sprang at John Keeling
and grabbed him by the throat and was choking
him Until he was black in the face, when the
constables interfered. She turned on them and
fought like wildcat, and used the vilest Ian
guage. The justice began fning her for con-
tempt of court, but that had no effect on her and
Sn0 was not supuueu Ior nIteen minutes. MRS.
Shepherd was almost as troublesome and made
an assault on Constable Mitchell, pulling
handful of hair from his head. 1t required three
men to get them to the JAIL and all the way over
they fought like tigers. AS the Macy woman
was being put behind the bars she made grab
at Constable Mitchell, ard scratched his face
until it bled The total amount of fines and
costs imposed on the Macy woman are sufficient
to keep her in Jail for $50 days, and Squire
Feibleman states that he isn't through fining her
yet for he will make such persons respect his
court.
Mrs. Lyons was hardly back in Jail when she
was served with notice that she had been lndict-
ed by the grand jury for perjury, in making
affidavit before the clerk that young Shepherd
and her daughter Myrtle Maiden. were of age.
When Myrtle had cooled off she sent for Bern
hamer whom she induced to become her bonds
man, and she was released. She at once ap-
pealed her case and says she will beat her
father-in-law, and secure her husband or die
