VINO SrRucK Hun. = Yesterday the
Chinaman in the county Jail for assault
ing Mrs. Murray with u butcher knife
was discovered with very black eye and
n bloody cheek. Some one had struck
him Sullivanic blow with ist. As
nearly as could be learned, Clark, the to.
bacco thief, up to his old tricks, had
stolen some tobacco from the Mongolian,
who called him live American name,
promptly responded to. The evidence
though was conflicting, and as Clark de-
MED the matter was almost as mysteri-
ous as the famous blow received by Billy
Patterson. BY the way the crowd Of
eight in the jail was mostly tough one.
SEVEN YEARS IN rnE PKS.-william b
Daniels, or Billy Daniels, as he was known
in Albany, ON Saturday, was sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary for rape
on thirteen year old girl, probably a just
sentence. Young Daniels had the max
ing of good man, but his mind run in
the direction that caused his ruin, and
before he left Albany was disgraced, one
instance published in the DEMOcRAr at
the time, resulting in Daniels making
standing threat TO whipa DEMOcRAT man
on sight. There should be a lesson in
the affair for many other Albany youths.

deal of difference to Deputy Sheriff

cording to the Statesman Deputy Sheriff
