A man giving his name as John Allen,
of Chippewa Falls, Wis, was in the clty
last Sunday. He loaded himself with
liquor and, about II o'clock at night
claimed that while coming out of the
rear entrance of McGregor's saloon, on
lower First street, an unknown man
slugged and relieved him of $50 in cash.
The man had evidently been thrown
down for his back was covered with dirt,
but whether he was robbed or not is
hard to say.

the hands of congressman Fletcher for
adjustment, with the understanding that
! if Monroe is legal resident of the Fifth
district, he shall be entitled to remain at
West Point. @
The superintendent of the workhouee,

of the year are very much heavier than
during the last six months. Still, he
admits that there will probably be q
deficit in the appropriation at the end OF
the year.
