the West Side.
ROBBED BY A FRIEND.
Cox, the Precocious InGorrigible, Is
Captured---SeGretary Laird
Resigns.

One of the bloodiest rough and tum
BILE encounters that has ever occurred
on the West side took place early Satur-
day morning on the corner of Eaton
and Fillmore avenues. The contestants
were James Hoskins and Mitchell LIE
BrouSse.
Hoskins was very drunk and can not
recall the causes which led up to the
quarrel. His face is sight, every color
of the prOverbial rainbow being we'll
represented in it, there being also a
number of severe cuts and abrasions
inflicted by the heavy boot of his an
tagonist. H0skins was taken to the
DucaS street station, and LIE BrouSse
made his escape, but will probably be
captured. Sergeant Hanft is on the
trail. and with several officers under
him is securing the neighborhood.
Frank Swanson, an employee of the
WabaSha bridge contractors, is in the
dumps. When seen yesterday morning
his usually sweet temper was lacking,
also ST5 in cash, a gold watch and new
suit of clothes. Swanson was paid the
S75 last evening by his employers, and
soon after donning the new suit and
gold watch he proceeded to see the
town, in company with man named
Williams, also bridge emplOye. Will
Jams hadn't seen so much wealth for
several summers. and resolved TO get
away with the shining SimOleOnS and
have i rip-roaring time on his own ac-
count. Returning abOut II o'clock, the
men went TO bed in the same room, and
Swanson planted the ShekelS and the
new buds under his pillow. He awoke
yesterday morning and found that his
quondlam friend had gobbled every
in, i,riat Nn1 Ntn
total value of the property stolen is
about $50. The West side police are
on hot scent, and, although their man
has a long lead, are confident that they
will have the darbleS on him some time
to-day.
J. Cox is a twelye-year-Old incorrigi-
bic for whom the police have been
searching several weeks. He was cap
tured yesterday, and will be brought up
Monday morning. His chances for a
term at the reform school are good.
Charles Mccoy, very ragged yag, was
also Gagged, and keeping them company
are three tOughs named Langton,
Doyle and Smith, similarly charged.
John Smith and Nels John son are also
in durance on a charge OF diSorderly
conduct.
