Sullivan Was Taking a Drink

Chicago Herald: Five hundred
men and boys twisted and squirm-
ed and fought and ducked and
pushed each other about in their
efforts to squeeze into the Turf
Exchange saloon on Clark street
yesterday afternoon. Traffic on
the street was virtually suspended;
the cars were blockaded, hanson
cabs and hacks were crowded to
the opposite side, and pedestrians
were obliged to take to the middle
of the street. Policemen vainly
endeavored to preserve order and
clear the walk; but they were in a
helpless minority and pomerless to
| act.
"What's de racket ?" asked one
gamin of another.
"Dunno; guess dey's pullin' Their
house."

reporter, who tried to force his way
into the saloon.
"No, but you'll be if you don't

ed a young fellow from the outer
edge ofthe sidewalk, who recognized
an acquaintance near the door.
"I'll be out O. this in an hour or
two an'let ynow," was the facetious

Presently the great secret was
passed around, and the keen edge
of their curiosity being satisfied the
crowd rapidly dwindled, until only
fifteen or twenty persons blockaded
the door of the saloon.

McC Chung at Sedalia.
From the sedalia Gazette.

Officer R. w. Barnett arrested a
man calling himselfIra F. McClung
yesterday, who is evidently an all
around fraud of the most dangerous
character. He claims to have been
a union soldier, yet he could not
have been more than tea years OF
age when he enlisted. His claims
of membership in the &. A. R.
were proven to be fraudulent, and
1t is not probable that he ever
smelled powder. A gentlemanly
minion of the law from Mexico says
that McClung has been living with
a woman who is not his wife, and
that she, also, is under arrest at
Mexico, for crookedness of some
kind. McClung is a hummer, and
and no mistake.
Indeed It's More Than Probable.

already been secured for horses at

ed on Sunday at his fathers residence. Dur ing the war of the rebellion, while celebrat- ing on the green a victory of the Union army, his arm was shattered by the prema- ture explosion of a cannon and he was obliged to have it amputated above the el- bow The limb was wrapped in cotton, placed in box and buried. Some days af- ter he complained of pain in the amputated arm. He said that the fingers were all cramped and aehed terribly. His father, ,un- able to endure the sight of his suffering, dug up the box, strengthened out the fingers and placed the arm in an easy position in the box and buried it again. The son knew nothing of this, but when his father came in he said that the pain in his hand had disappeared and he felt greatly relieved. Perhaps this is a case which some scientist can explain. The same cannon was brought out last November at a Cleveland rally and burst into thou sand pieces, several persons barely es- caping injury, some of the pieces being picked up half a mile frome the scene of the explosion.
