NIorrisey and Mulholland.

Tonight at the Clunie Opera House the
much-talked-of glove contest between
James Morrisey, of this city. and George
Mulholland, of Australia. takes place.
Both are ight-welghts, and are very
evenly matched as regards skill, reach,
etc. Morrisey has defeated all comers in
his class in Sacramento, while Mulhol-
land has made a good record both in
Australia and this country. 1t is under
stood that both men are after the large
end of the purse, and an unusually good

WILD MAN OF THE WOODS
A strange character Who Has been
BunDtng AT Large.

A strange man was found roaming
ABOUT IN the woods near Albany a few
days ago, and on Sunday evening app led
at a farmers house for lodging. He
carried bundle of hay which he said
was his bed, and as his actions showed
undesirable signs of insanity he was
taken in charge by Constable David, of
Albany, and from papers found in his
pocket it was learned that his name was
Louis Olderwert, and that he had resided
at Port Byron. He was acc ,rdingly ia
Ken there and given hearing before
Magistrate Stone, who ordered that he be
gwen hearing as to his sanity, in the
county court, and he was brought to this
city last night by Constable Harvey r an
da!, of Port Byron, and is now in the
custody of the sheriff, awaiting his hear
ing, which will take place tomorrow.
Olderwert is German and has been in
this country about eight years He is a
single man and lived with a farmer in Coe
township, hsving no relatives in this
country. He has considerable money
loaned out 10 farmers in the vicinity
where he lived, and when found had
something over 800 10 MS pockets. The
family with whom he lived say he has
SHOWN signs OF insanity for nearly a wear
ana at times became violent, going so
far as to strike the children and other
members of the family with whom he
boarded. He disappeared from Coe
sometime in April. since VIII ch time his
whereabouts had been unknown until
his capture oa Sunday.

on Aid. Evans motion.
Aid. Evans was again heard at con-
siderable length When the street and alley

ing permission TO the Rock Island plow

man held that the city should attempt to
sell two lots which it owned in the ins

adopted The committees report.

committee, reported adversely on behalf
of the joint committee on streets and al
ieys and sewers on the Schnell plat 10
the city. Aid. Evans asked Mr.. Kenne-
dy If he had secured the names of the
sewer committee to such report, and Mr..
Kennedy said no. Mr. Evans then con-
demned this as an unbusiness.lke manner
of doing things, and also termed
Kennedy's conduct undetermined.
Mr. Kennedy replied that he was hon
est in his report, and if Aid. Evans called
him undetermined he lied
1t looked for moment IS if there
might be trouble, but NJ. J. Murphy as

The council made a great mistake in not

tempting to smuggle in an unfavorable
