with the Normarna Skating club had
expired but not SO with Norseng. His
contract, in fact, had. Just begun, and
though in debt to the club for his trans
portatlon from Norway, his hotel bills,
ana under contract to skate DOnOgnue
III rink III this city, he counted IL all as
nadght ami left.

DOn0ghue yesterday that arrangements
could be made for Il race between him-
self and NOrseng. The club has de-
post OF $1,000 in one of the city banks

probably have to be called Off. Several
OF the officers Of the club called
upon all attorney last ni@ht
10 ascertain if any legal meas
ures could be resOrted to, to bring Nor
Seng back and make him live mp to his
contract. 1t Is not known what will be
done. One of the officials OF the club

doubtedly paid Norseng well to accom-
pany him, so as TO give hin, Hagen, the
first chance at Donoghue. The trio
went to Milwaukee last night, where

Undoubtedly one Of the first things

which was taken up at the last session.
Agent Tatlo, OF the Humane society,
states that he now has one or two wit

whose testimony will, with the other
introduced, surely make things de-

case will be the assault and battery case
OF L. NJ. Runyan against Elmer Foster.
Then there will be that little difficulty
between Norm King and Joe Jepson.
which. while il has been passed 10y the
municipal court, is still liable to receive
some attention from the grand jury.
These. with the grist Of municipal
cases, will suffice to keep the jury busy
