Mistaken Identity .

CHARLES Young, a candymaker en-
ployed by Yerxa Bros, was in the mu-
nicipal court yesterday afternoon on the
charge of insulting woman and acting
in lascivious manner. The complain
ant was Mrs. Lizzie Redmond. a widow
living at the corner of Eighth avenue
north and Third street. She testified
that Young had nearly frightened her
to death by accosting her OH the street
last Thursday night, but from the evil
dence introduced by Mark Hayney, at
torney for Young. it was evident that it
was case of mistaken identity. One
of the features of the trial was the
unique methoi of testifying adopted by
Mrs. Redmoud's belligerent son Johnny,
whose tone and appearance indicated
that he was willing to fight anybody
and eserybody right in the court room.
Judge Mahoney dismissed the case.

n Disgusting Find.

Whilst John Valentine, foreman of
the Lake Calhoun Ice company, was
busily working about the building Tues
day evening he discovered what he
supposed was the corpse of child
buried in the sand. He notified the
police, who in turn informed Coroner
Byrnes of what had been discovered.
The coroner made an investigation, and
found instead of the corpse Of child a
gangrenous limb, which had probably
been amputated some time last winter.
As this was not a cOrOner'S case, the
health department was made cognizant
of the disgusting find. The leg is sup
posed to be that of the father of former
emplove of the ice company, who had
one of his legs amputated several
months ago. The man is dead, and how
the leg came where it was is mystery.

age suit on hand which was on trial yes
terday before Judge Pond. Mr.. Wet
more OWNS a piece of property at 1O5
Second street south, and about year
ago made an excavation on part of it.
The building was occupied by Alfred
d. Aldrich as barber shop. He claims
that the excavation drove his trade
away and ruined his business. This
was due to the fact that in eXcavating
the sidewalk was torn up and the dirt
dumped in front of his place of busi-
ness. and in addition vault was un-
covered which omitted a dreadful
stencil. He claims damages in the sum
of g. 600.

brought in by one of Hall county's
farmers, is about one year old and
has FIVE legs and six feet. Four legs
are perfect, but the fifth is an ex-

the lett shoulder blade, extending
ON the neck. 1t is loose, seemingly
held by some flexible substance, and
is about foot long. AT the end Of
the leg there are two feet, or rather
boots, spread out all in the same
