was issued IN Justice Brink's Court for the
arrest Of FIVE ycang men, to-wit Sid
Ennis, who has just been liberated from the
county jail, Harry CLARK, the driver OF the
Russ House bus, Chas. williams, ben
Johnson's striker, and Bill Eddy and Frank
Welch The complaint was made by Mr.
Pfau, which means Peacock In English,
proprietor of the Star Brewery. Il seems

get some beer but this Mr.. Pfau refused

Marshal Hayes and Constable Westfall.

| BINDING TwINE.-Stewart & Sox, this
