A terrible row occurred near house
OF illfame, on the outskirts Of the Third
ward, last Saturday night. To get at the
facts Of the row is not easy, as none Of
the parties concerned have entered a
complaint. The truth OF the affair ap-
pears to DO as follows: A party Of six
sailors, who had just returned from the
logging camps, were In the den, and got
into dispute with another gang who
were there. The sailors left the den, but
were followed by the other crowd, num-
bering thirteen. A short distance from
the den, the sailors were attacked, and,
to defend themselves, drew their pocket
knives. A desperate struggle ensued, in
which several Of the men were cut con-
siderably with the knives, Last Monday
the officials examined number OF those
concerned in the murderous ARRAY, but as
none would testify In regard to the affair,
all that could DO done was to sentence
some of the mon for being disorderly. 1t
is to be hoped that sufficient evidence
will be obtained TO convict all those who
caused the disgraceful row. One Of the
assailants paid $40 and costs, and anoth-
err SIS and costs.

Mr.. VIAL.
II you value your worthless life just
light up on your funny work publishing
such things about the recent show, and
go easy on putting such things In your

Now Remember what | say, you old
"Vagabond Democrat"
Yours In earnest,

AS the ARGUS will continue to go on
just the same as II has in the past, IL

ray tho funeral expenses. We will also
express our belief, that we have faith In
our ability to drag the anonymous writer
to light, and II we do succeed, then the
population of the State prison will be in
creased. So the fellow who wrote 1t may
expect any day an officer to pay him a
visit.
