operated by .. 9. Horner and Chas.
Bowman. Considerable stuff was seized
aud will probably be sufficient to make
the Injunction stick. Bowman's place
was under the Lake Park hotel.
Aberdeen News, 90: The award of
premiums for the county exhibits at the
grain palace was opened to-day by the
directors. Edmunds county, as it well
deserved and was anticipated, received
first premium, with the splendid dis
play from Lake county second and Wal
worth third. The awards will certainly
commend themselves to everybody as
fair to all interests and in every particu-
lar
A very interesting ''scrap," to the
numerous bystanders on the corner Of
Egan avenue and Main street, took
place this afternoon between Frank
Boswell and cowboy. The melee
started at the rear OF johnson & Co.'S
store and as the beligerents backed
ac ross Main street and out irto Egan
avenue, they pounded each other in the
face in highly brutal fashion. Both
bled profusely at the mouth and nose
and quit about even.
j. G. Barrett was to-day arrested on
complaint of Col. Murray for disposing
of property with intent to defraud his
creditors and will have hearing before
Justice Holdridge tomorrow at O'Clock
a. IN. Being questioned in regard TO the
affair, Mr.. Barrett said he had no inten-
tion OF defrauding anyone. That he
was in process OF settling up with his
creditors, having settled with one firm
yesterday, and expected to arrange mat
ters satisfactorily with the others soon.
He was sued yesterday on some Of these
accounts ani did not expect the sum-
mary proceedings Of to day, but thought
everything would yet be properly ad-
justed.
People in the city are considerably an
noyed by young vagrant about 8 years
old, child of Otto Kropkat, tenant on
Irving d. Smiths place, southeast OF
town. The urchin will not stay at
home because, be says, his parents do
not like him, and sleeps in barns OF
stables wherever he may find an oppor
tunity, and then begs his living. The
heriff has run him down once or twice
and taken him home, and has also
brought his father before the justice to
ans wer for his keeping; but the parents
say they cannot do anything with him
He runs away in spite OF their efforts to
keep him at home. He appears to be
we'll provided for and does not complain
Of hard usage at home, and what to dc
with him is conundrum. This morn
ing he turned up at w. f. Beerman't
wanting something to eat and has beer
cared for during the day.
Jack Mahara, advance agent for w. A
Mahara's minstrels, billed to appear IL
Madison Monday evening, October 2
called at THE DAILY LEADER Office thil
morning and extended the compliment
OF his company to the Office force. Mir
Mahara informed the proprietor that b,
had been advised by r. ID. Fits, man
ager OF the opera house, that none of hi
business came to THE DAILY LEADEI
office, but Mr.. Mahara did rot desire tt
lose any business for his company By
following Mr.. Fits advice, therefore
personally sought an introduction to th,
people Of Madison through the columns
OF THE DAILY LEADER. This same
Fits is president of the First Nationa
bank OF Madison. 1t was little, meai
trick; but this is not the first tims
he has sought to injure bushes,
men OF this city and drive from theil
doors business that would naturall,
come to them at the hands OF strangers
In the capacity of bank president, Fitt
is dangerous man for the business
community to contend with, for th,
reason that he has no regard for tn,
rights OF others, and it may becom'
necessary for The DAILY LEADER to q
into more specific details concerning hi
methods OF "doing business, and disarn
him in the eyes Of strangers and other
unacquainted with the manner OF maj
