The lecture by Prof. Freeman, at the
| Opera House, on Thursday evening of
last week, was very interesting. The
speaker described The Yellowstone"

with their cataractS, its beautiful lakes,
its geysers and mineral hot springs,
and explained the natural causes which

It seems that it is the custom in
most towns and cities throughout the
state to give tramps board and lodging
and send them on their way. This is
doubtless cheaper than arresting them,
paying costs of arrest, and keeping
them in jail for a number of days
without employment. But profitable
employment might be found for them
during the winter months in clearing
snow and ice from sidewalks and cross
mgs. 1t might not be too late to in
augurate the reform in Mineral Point
the present winter. The council ought
to consider it at their next meeting.
Charles Healy, formerly of this city,
but now in the employ of n. X. Fair
bank & Co., Chicago, was assaulted
by another employee and severely in
jured on Friday last The Chicago
Herald, of Sunday morning contained
the following account of the assault:
Charles Healy, a foreman in the tin
shop of Y. X. Fairbank & Cos lard
factory, received severe injuries from
the hands of one of his employees Fri
day morning about eleven o'clock.
Pete Zahmn, German employed in
the shop, had neglected his work and
Foreman Healy had just spoken to
him about it and threatened to dis
charge him if he did not do better.
Zahmn turned and without warning
struck Healy over the head twice with
a heavy piece of wood before he had
time to defend himself, INJECTING two
bad scalp wounds. DR.. Doolittle
| dressed his wounds, and he will be at
work again in a day or two.
