commenced tipping over tOmbstOnes
at the COlonel's marble yards. The
latter gentleman has Of late beeh
keeping bachelors hall ct his Office.
Thursday night he was awakened by
the racket outside and went out 'tO
see about It." Stepping up to one Of
the marauders, he requested that he
should put q quietus on proceedings
when the answer was q stunning
blow in the COlOnel's face. The Col
Onel then opened up In good style.
Speaking pugilIstlcally he knocked
the wind OutD Of his assallant and
pummelled the companion suriOusly.
The affray was brought to an end by
the hasty departure Of the crippled
sssailants, who were covered with
blood and pretty generally used up.
The Colonel was obliged himself to
wear q beef steak over his eye for 3
few hours and has q crippled hand.
Nothing more was heard Of the s.
sailants for Two or three days after,
when news came that an AssEria
physician was attending q very seri-
ously injured man confined ct farm
house south Of Salina, who was &C
cOmpanled by 3 man injured, but
only slightly. 1t was soon asceF-
tanned that these same parties were

come from the vicinity Of Newton, TO
attend the encampment. One was a
resident Of Kansas-the other .
friend visiting him. The visitor viii

experience as full Of stirring adven-
ture. The COlonel's chances for Con-
gress are increased 1OO-fOld since the
