IlNb.
Sundays disgraceful street brawl,
which has been the talk of the town since
It's occurrence, was the outcome of a
series of Saturday night disturbances. In
two of these latter a Joe Hart was handled
pretty roughly, if kicking a man in the
face and chewing his ear can be called
rough treatment. John Hart, brother Of
the battered man, essayed the role offam-
lily avenger. Ed Leighton, the gentle
manly passenger brakeman and ball
player, was pointed out to Hart as one of
his brothers assailants. Leighton sought
to avoid trouble, but being forced into a
fight did the best he could and was thrash
ing Hart in fine style when Officer ingalls,
appeared. The combatants were urged
on by the ~bystanders and advice of all
sorts was hurled at the struggling men.
Some Of the spectators thought the police
man was off his reservation and insinuated
that he was an intruder. but the officer
stopped the fight and placed the men n
der arrest. Leighton went along peace
ably with Depot Policeman Dollar and
Hart declared his intention to do the
same with ingalls,. He didn't though,
but resisted with all bis might The Off
Ger drew his club and used it until Hart
vrenched it from his grasp and played

with a black eye. ingalls, produced his re-
volver. and it was accidentally discharged.
The startling report brought all to a reali
zation of the seriousness of the situation
and there WIS a cessation of hostilities.
Constable Smith happened along about
this time and Hart was taxed TO jail.
Yesterday he was fined for creating a dis
turbance. Policeman ingalls, refused to
lodge a complaint against Hart for resist

other fights and it is said that a number
of railway men will lose their places for
participating in the rows, 1t is safe to
say that Leighton will not be one of
these.
John Moran, the well-known Horse
Shoe ranchman, was thoroughly convinced
of the wickedness of city life Sunday
morning. He was the victim of a pair
of worthless who have been under police
surveillance for some time.
Moran had been drinking in a number
of saloons and was followed from one OF
the resorts by Ed. jerks. a cripple who

pectable citizen and a workman in a fur
niture store until he became a confirmed
drunkard. The pair approached
Moran from either side, after the man
ner OF professional pickpockets and re-
heved the ranchman of a good silver
watch and $50 in money.
When Moran discovered his loss he Sc

latter recognized the thieves from the de-
scription given and soon landed them in
Jail. The watch was recovered from a
bartender to whom it had been pawned.

hearing to-day.
SPORTS.
The Capitol ball team defeated the
Rhodes Il Iroxell Juniors at the fair
grounds Sunday afternoon by a score OF
81 to 2. The Capitols did some terrific
hitting and but for a couple of fielding
errors would have succeeded in shutting
out the Juniors.
There were several horse races at the
fair grounds after the ball game.
A gentleman and two ladies who went
boating on Lake Mahpahlutah Sunday
were badly scared and thoroughly wet by
the overturning of the small skiff from
which Harry Tuxford took his fatal leap.
The gentleman swan to shore with his
fair companions, one at a time and has
been much complimented for his athletic
performance and presence of mind
