WITH A CHAIR.
Paddy Lyons Crushes Tom McGougan's
Skull and May be Held for Murder.

Skull and Ma be Held for Murder.
Between 10 and IL o'clock Friday night
a fight took place in the Delta saloon, on
lower Main street between Paddy Lyons
and Tom McGougan. The two had been
playing cards and became engaged in a dis
pute which wound up by Lyons hitting
McGougan on the head with a chair, rem
dering him unconscious. 1t was at first
thought that his injuries were only of a
slight nature, however, he was taken to
the hospital. Drs. Murray and Mcguire
were summoned soon thereafter and found
that M.Gougah's skull was crushed in.
The doctors removed three pieces OF the
skull, in all about four inches long and
about half that width.
Last night McGougan was still alive
although the chances for his recovery were
decidedly against him. He is unmarried
and about 20 years old. His assailant is
of about the same and also single. Both
men were drunk when the fight occurred
and had never met before.
Lyons is in jail and complaint has not
yet been filed against him, the officers
waiting results OF his victims injuries.

pleasant, leaving out the dust, and the

If Peter O'Conner, of Ransom,
kept a blind swine, against the peace
and dignity of the county, and public
inquisitor Bishop "pulled him." we
lave nothing to say. Peter was no
doubt very indiscreet; he should
have put in prescription case,
bought few drugs, a dozen bundles
of wallpaper, hung out drug sign
and advertise in The Teller as an
apothecary, then he could have sold
lightning and the majesty of the
law and public inspector Bishop
would have closed their eyes, and
poor Peter would have waxed very
rich. Why don't Mr.. Bishop 'pull''
that Milnor prescription case and
summon some of the Minor people
to either testify or perjure them
selves Now friend Smith, the first
time you see Mr.. Bishop, prod him
up to a religious sense of his duty
to the cause of temperance. But if
this plan should expose any of the
Minor temperance workers don't
insist upon his pulling" anything.

Another reminder To- the ''reform'' Globe editor.
The editor of the Globe proves be-
You'd the need of further evidence
that all of which he. is accused is
trve. No man but a cur and
roWdy could have used such Ian
guage as the editor of the Globe did
in his issue of August first. Mr..
Editor, rowdy EXPLANATIONS never
disprove facts. Is it not true that
yoh have been repeatedly seen drunk
in this town to such an extent that
tramps were ashamed Of you :? When
you were in Minor could anyone
in that town excel you in drinking
liquor Have you ever beheld
among men who claim respectability
a nastier, noisier. rougher tough
before bar than you yourself {?
We do not believe you know what
you write in your sheet, generally,
else you must he ashamed of your
owa language. And then as to
stability, we have the Globe of No
vember Sd, 1887 and the Globe of
August 1st, 1889 before us. We
cannot comprehend how man can
fiuctuate as the editor does without
being insane. In his issue of No
vember Sd, 1887, he exercises his
highest pitch of editorial eloquence
to make the saloons sweet, moral
and sanity, while few days prior
thereto he held them up as the
reverse of this, and now lie goes back
to prohibition. Of course at that
time such was his bread and butter.
What makes him change his pro-
gram so quickly now must he a Slice
from some other direction, for the
editor himself has no idea. opinion
or principle of his own. 1t all lies
in the direction of his bread and
butter. His mind runs in the direc-
tion of his gain. One time he defends
saloons to the utmost of his ability,
and then again he breaches morals
and denounces saloons. He came
here without means, without moral
character, without an opinion ex-
cept borrowed one-came estray
from Milnor, poor, forlorn and hope
less-begging position and bread of
the citizens of this town and after
obtaining both, the low lived
cur shows his gratitude by
stinging his benefactors in the
heels. Mr.. Editor, the citizens of
Wahpeton can we'll endure to be
called liars, libelers and many
other things by a man of your
grade and standing. Not one
word would have been said in con.
nection with you were it not to show
you up in your true attire through
out the county.
