A somewhat novel legal contest was
INDUCED in in the circuit court room at
Muscatne yesterday. 1t seems that soon
after Judge Waterman had rendered
decision in an injunction case, j. Scott
Richman, attorney for the prosecution.
offered paper to be filed with the Others
in the case in the event an appeal should
he taken. whereupon Wm. Hoffman, ats
torney for the other side, objected till be
could see il, charging in an insolent man~
ner that papers had been put surrepti
tiously in the case which had no business
there. This imputation Richman resent
cd by calling Hoffman a liar, to which
the latter responded "and you're an
other" Quick as fash r, struck H. on
the side of the head with his fist. and
with equal rapiditY of movement.
seized an inkstand, with which he dealt
a powerful blow on the head of Richman
following 1t up with repeated
blows on his head and face,
cutting several severe gashcs and causing
the blood to flow freely. Meantime, r
was pushing his antagonist backward and
endeavoring to deal him blows with his
fist, but apparently without much sue
cess There were comparatively few per-
sons in the room at the time, but Sheriff
Gray aud Deputy Will, aided by several
other persons promptly used their efforts
to separate the two lnfurated men, which
was not done without much difficulty,
1t was then found that Mr.. II, was cows
cred with blood about his head and his
face was considerably bruised. He was
conducted to wash-room in another
part of the building.
Judge Waterman has summoned the
pugilistic attorneys to appear before him
Monday morning at 10 o'clock to answer
the charge of contempt of court.

less we caution the innocent toiler and

sign their names to papers peddled
around by strangers.
We understand a company has been
formed in Aberdeen, Dakota, for the
purpose of introducing and selling a
new seed wheat, The scheme is to
sell the wheat at So a bushel, and
then contract to buy back the crop
from it next year at a dollar or more
a bushel. The sharpers will take the
farmers note, and give in exchange a
contract" which ostensibly binds
them to take the wheat next year at
the stipulated price. The note is ne.
gotiable and will be sold to the near.
est money loaner ; the contract is
worthless, and the farmer is cleft.
The scheme will, of course, be worked
with notifications of this plan, but in
every instance the farmers signature
will be required to something-it
probably won't be called a note-and
when that is obtained, the sharper
has won his game, 1t is hat bald.

the wheat these parties are selling is q

matter UP and 80 ventilate it that the

THE TARIFF.

our tariff be for revenue only, or shall We
pay an exorbitant tax, that . few shall roll

own Golfers. President Arthur urged 1 70
duction Of tho tariff, and but = few years
ago Senator Sherman said 1T wa simply
an ~absurdity to talk now about q free trade
tariff, and to talk about . protective tariff is
unnecessary" and "Thers is NO sentiment in.

In 1883 Senator Sherman tries to gain
our votes by advocating to take the duty of
tobacco, although in 1882 he said: II say
the tax on tobacco does not diminish the
price to the farmer who raises it; and I say
We are throwing off ; tax which, BY the
Judgment Of oil nations, is tho best source
