when he gazed ut the face of the beauti-
ia watch he would see the faces of his
Boston friends; when he saw the hands

A GEOLOGICAL STUDY
Furnished by Excavations fo
West Side Street Grades.

While grading Ohio street, on the
West side, a discovery has been made
that has set the geologists and miner
ologists studying the prehistoric era of
of the formation of the upper
strata of the earth hereab0uts.
In making cut of that street
varying from sixteen TO twenty feet in
depth there was found beneath bed of
clay level surface of rock. the top of
which is as smooth as a pane of
glass, in fact, as smooth as polished
marble. Judging from the extent shown
by the cut made, the area of this smooth,
polished surface is acres in extent. The
substance is limestone. In the lower
stratum of the stone there is a quartz
formation mingled with heavy sub
stance, portions of which glisten like
FURNISHED gold, and other parts like
FURNISHED silver. These substances ap-
pear IN large quantities and are
with which they are mingled.
The intermingling of these formations
are study TO even the untutored mind,
and their analysis would be an interest
ing study to the chemist. Aside from
all these there is an interesting subject
suggested to the scientists to speculate
as to how the deposit was made. How
will they account for the immense area
of smooth surfaced rock in country
where there are no meaEett ttains to suggest
the idea that the rock was worn smooth
by the sliding of glaciers over its sur
face? The quarZ formation and the in
gradients found as we'll as the position
and character of the upper surface of
the rock have puzzled those who have
thus far examined them, and more light
on the subject will be interestin read
ing for the public.

An Old Assault Furnishes
Two Cases for the Su-

A desperate and probably fatal duel
was fought last night in wood yard at
400 East Fifth street. The names of the
combatants are Theodore Volz. team
ster employed 10y Krahmer d Son, and
Ole Enochson, an engineer employed
by c. G. Koltf, proprietor of the yard
in which the trouble occurred. 1t seems
that the men had just completed their
work for the day, and were preparing
to leave the yard, when VolZ was seen
by Enochson to be in possession of an
oil can, which he claimed as his
property. The latter ordered Volz
to return the can. which he refused to
do, and Enochson advanced. evidently
determined to compel a surrender of the
property. VOlz hung onto the can un
til EnOckSOn made a grab for it, when
VolZ struck him. Enochson secured
possession of the DISPUTED property, and
being now thoroughly aroused, bella
bored VolZ with the weapon, cutting
his head badly. Blood had now been
drawn on both sides, and the fight be-
came a duel to the death. The
Oil can was abandoned, and bill
lets of wood from adjacent piles
became the weapons. Half a dozen
hurled by the men at each other, with
out either being knocked down. AT
last. however. Volz threw log with
tremendous force. striking EnOchson
fairly on the skull. The man dropped
as though riddled with bullets,
and NolZ was so weak from
loss of blood as to be unable
to throw another timber even if
he had desired. Several bvstanders
witnessed the affair, but none imagined
that it would eliminate in tragedy.
As soon as EnochSon was seen to fall
a messenger was dispatched for
DIR. O'Brien, and a police alaIm
brought the Margaret street wag
on. to the beat in short
order. Volz was taken to the station
and charged with assault with intent
to kill. Enochson was removed
to the city hospital, where
it was found that his skull had been
fractured by the blow. DR.. O'Brien
stated to a GLOBE representative last
night that EnochSon'S chances for re-
covery could not be correctly estimated
at present. 1t is feared that he has sus-
tanned concusSion of the brain. 1t is re-
ported that Enochson and Volz have had
wordy troubles previously and have
even come to blows. VOlZ had several
scalp wounds, which were dressed by
DR.. O'Brien.
