Lovers of cats in all quarters of the

becoming quite an important branch of
commerce in America. Some idea of
the extent of this peculiar business NAV
be gathered from the fact that a firm in
Delaware has undertaken To supply
100 tons of cats tails to house in st.
Louis. The tails are presumably re-

Disorder SATURDAY. Nirht

Saturday night witnessed another
scene of disorder very similar to that
which we recorded some weeks ago,
when a cOlored man was being arrested
for breach of the peace. The full
facts in the case seem to be hard to get.
but enough is known to show that
there is a bad state of feeling existing
between the low grade of negroes and
low grade of whites, and that both are
measurably responsible for what hap
pens. The difficulty Saturday night
was over quarrelsome young darkey
named Dave Watson. He saws he was
first assaulted by white man from
Clayton (whOse name we did not get)
who they claim "bulleys around among
them" both out there and in this town,
Watson says this man struck him
without provOcatiOn, while others say
that Watson was the aggressOr. At
any rate, when officer Grant got there.
the white man had disappeared up an
alley or some where. In attempting
to arrest Watson young negro women
were conspicuous in the scene, crying
with loud voices, don't let him be ar
rested" and efforts were made to get
him away in which weapons, it is said
were displayed, but he was secured
and carried to the lookup. Here
there was considerable disorder and
brickbats were thrown. In the meantime
the mother of Watson went to the house
of Alderman Budd, who was not we'll
and had retired, and so represented
the health of her son and the damage
that might result from a night in the
cold lookup, also that it was only a
little fracas that he had gotten in, that
the Alderman wrote a note to police
man to release him on the usual fine
and costs in such cases. The act of
mercy seems to have been misunder-
stood for the more vicious took it as a
triumph over the law, and manifested
this bearing through the rest of the
evening.
There came near being a serious dis
turbance later. A young white man
of those who would like to see a dis.
tur6ance kicked up, got into row
with colOred man, his brother run
ming to the pool room for gang of the
same sort, and it took some effort OF
the officers to prevent what seemed
ike a brewing riot. 1t seems strange
these worst characters cannot be iden-
tined and punished to the full extent
OF the law, and thus prevent what may
at some time be a serious affair. These
colored men went out of town in a
very disorderly manner, disturb.
