AMERICAN SAILORS KILLED.

Four Of tho Crew OF the United states
Man-of.War Baltimore slain In Street
Fight with CHILEAN Sailors.
VALPARAISO, Oct. 17.-Three, per-
haps four, American men-of-war men
were killed and several others were
more or less severely wounded in q des-
perate street fight here Friday after
noon with q crowd of CHILEAN sailors.
The Chilians did not do all the fight
ing, for when the fight was ended a
number of them were found to be
pretty badly hurt, though so far as
can be ascertained now none of them
were killed. The American blue jack
cts who were engaged in the battle
were from the United States cruiser
Baltimore and the Chilians were from
the various warships now in the har-
bor 1t is impossible at present to get
the full particulars of the fight or the
names of the killed and wounded.
There are several accounts as to
the origin of the difficulty. One of
them which seems plausible is this:
Ever since the triumph of the
iunta there has been a feeling among
the lower classes of the people Of
marked hostility to the Americans, and
the blue jackets from the American
warships were sometimes subjected
to insult. 1t is alleged that a party
of men from the Baltimore, ashore on
liberty, went up with the Gillian men
oe-war men. The hatred of the CYAN
KEGS" led to some insulting remark,
which was resented by one of the hot
ter-headed Americans, and this brought
on the general fight which was at
tended with such fatal results. There
was much excitement in the city when
the news of the fight spread. The I'M
fortunate affair is greatly regretted in
official circles and among the better
class Of citizens

A FORGER'S FLIGHT.

Prominent Babcock (Vts.) Lumberm1n
Ctters Spurious Paper to the Extent ol
Nearly $4,000 and Disappears Oh the
Discovery Of His Crime.
MILWAUKEE, Oct 17.-One of the
biggest forgeries ever know in the bust.
ness history of Wisconsin came to light
Friday afternoon. The name of George
Hilcs, the millionaire land owner and
capitalist, has been forged for nearly
$4,000. The fraudulent paper passed
through the hands of NJ. r. Hansen,
who was reputed to be a wealthy lum.
herman of Hansen, Wood county.
which is near Babcock.
Mr. Hiles has made it rule for MANY
years never to give notes or indorse
anybody else's note and al! such papers
bearing his name are forgeries. Han
sen disappeared several days ago and
his whereabouts are unknown. His
mills and property have been at
tached by creditors He had been in
business at Hansen for several years
and had had extensive business trans
actions with Mr.. Hiles. Up to the
present time he has, been regarded as
an upright and honorable business man,
and was very prominent in lumber
circles. The first that was known OF
the forgeries was when the Grand Rap
ids bank sent in a $1,000 note for Mr..
Hiles to pay, the note purporting TO
have been made by Mr.. Hiles to Han
sen and Endorsed by Hansen to other
parties. Mr. Hiles has not a scrap of
promissory paper in the world. and it
was evident at once that a for
gerry had been committed. Following
that came: information of two notes
OF s., 500 each at La Crosse and another
OF 81, 900 at Centralia- Just how much
more is in circulation is not known.
Jonah, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE disap-
pearance of Mr.. Hansen, an extensive
lumber dealer in: this section, has
caused q great deal of anxiety to his
numerous creditors He left home a
week ago last Wednesday to trans
act business at Marshfeld and
has not been seen since. His cred
itors have attached his property,
and now the lands, mills and thousands
OF feet Of lumber arc in the hands of
the sheriff. The principal creditors are
George lilies and L. Ward, of Milwau-
kee, the First national bank of Grand
Rapids and the Messrs. Anderson. of
La Crosse. Many of his employees have
their wages tied up in the concern
without security.

WHEN an editorial appears in the
COMET, similar to the one recently
published entitled, "Look on this and
on that" it is useless to ask us for the
names of the parties referred to. 1t
is in exceedingly bad taste to do so. The
omission of the names is notihca-
ton that secrecy is enjoined upon the
writer or that he withholds them out
Of respect for the parties involved, or
for other reasons satisfactory to himself.
The secrets ola newspaper are, or should

ELSEWHERE in this issue we give an
account Of Ex-Governor Taylor's pro-
posed venture in the lecture field. He
has been engaged to deliver one hun
dred and ten lectures for the consid-
Grafton Of $4,000.
There is no man in the State more
capable of pleasing the people as a
public lecturer. He is a man OF great
intellectual productiveness, unlimited
resources, and by nature can combine
the qualities of the orator and the
actor in a most striking manner. Mr..
Taylor was the founder of THE COMET
weekly, and its first editor and we
in charge now extend to him best
wishes in his new venture, and hope
he will return all covered with the
laurels of glory.

and, one institution OF learning, our
people depend entirely on the public
money for the education Of their
children.
That this argument, which the OPP
posers of county aid to the two roads
now projected, may regard as Eyery
"cheap talk" is not q flimsy fiction of
q railroad advocate "run stark mad"
is proved from the textbooks, which
show that the school taxes from the
East Tennessee system supports at
least twelve of our public schools, or
about one-ffth of the number in the
county. Go to our accommodating
trustee, S. III. Pouder, and he will
gladly open the books for your inspec'
ton. Examine and you will be con-
WINGED that our statement is substan-
TALLY correct,
We are sure that the issuance Of the

investment for the present generation
and for all that are to follow and that
our people will feel comfortable ovel
the consciousness, that in helping
themselves and their posterity, they
have materially aided in building VI
the general prosperity of the country
Our advice then is to vote for the
bonds, pay them cheerfully anC
promptly, and after the trouble is Owe
and you have passed from "under thu
rod" keep your stock and its handsome
usufruct for the use and behoof o
yourselves and your posterity, and de
not think of turning them over tt
