has trouble with the colored men because
of his own actions
The exact cause of the trouble between
Edwards and Peo is not known
but several persons state that it was the
fault of the Italian. At any rate, after
having some words, Edwards struck the
italian with his fist. The Italian then
took an ice pick and without
further warning stabbed Edwards
three times The stabs are in
the abdomen, on the side of the head and
side of the neck. The negro fell and
friends who had witnessed the ternina-
tion of the assault, carried him to DR..

laid there without any attention what

intense. Sergeant Peterson and Patrol
man johnson arrived and while Johnson

geant Peterson went to Front and Market
and took the Italian into custody. He
went without assistance and was locked
up.

he has given the police great deal OF
trouble.

BOTH CHAMPIONS.

stand the Situation.

stand the Situation.
The championship for throwing the
best stream is claimed by the Phoenix
and Washington fire companies. Both
companies have been doing a great deal
of talking, but there it stops, and the
situation now indicates that both will
continue to claim it for some time to
come
The latest developement is that the
Popnix men claim that the Washington
stream was not 50 long as measured.
This is desired bv the Washington men
who in turn declare that the Phoenix
'inched up" about 80 feet. The Phoenix
deny this and promptly decorated their
cupola and hung out brooms. In the
meantime the Washington paints on
its engine hose this legend Champions,
1889, 221 feet, inches"
The Phenix say the Washy is afraid
to put up its money; the WashY say the
Phoenix has no money to put up.
An enthusiastic Phoenix man said the
other day IF had house I'd mort
gage it for 81 900 and wager the money
against the Washy; that shows how /
think about it.
A member of one of the companies in
the dispute said to-day that he did not
believe that either company would put
up the money and that the whole affair
will gradually be forgotten.
