One j. II. Duncan raised merry Cain
with himself and a posse Of policemen, on
the great day We celebrate. He was belig-
erantly inclined with a vengeance, and
he had been demonstrating that fact to a
less pugnacious brother when Marshal
Liggett heard Of IT. Deputy Branden-
burg who had been put on special duty
was sent to capture the gentleman, and
found himself unable to cope with the
small army Of hangers-on who wanted to
see the fun. The crowd grew very wroth /;

burg had to pull his gun" in true Ken
lucky style to stand off the odds. But
he lost his man. Then Office Lille
went into the melee-and he did get it I;
but he also got the man. The crowd I'M
der the leadership Of one Charley Hill,
attempted to interfere, and Lille was
rather roughly handled. A rough and
tumble fight ensued, several men getting
well punched. No shots were fred, how.
ever.
Duncan crawled under q sidewalk for
fully 80 feet, and 1t took half hour to
extricate him. He was promptly jailed
and information filed which will make
him and his assistant, Hill, amenable to
the laws governing state caseS. He will
be tried on Friday on charge Of interior
ing with an officer in the discharge OF his
duty.
Marshal Liggett is disposed 10 push the
case to complete finish. He says the
crowd was hard one and the partici-
pants even harder still. The fight occur

EDITOR YAKIMA HERALD:-I wish to
correct little statement made by the
soi disant widow Bsgwell to THE HERALD
reporter concerning her babies and the
Sisters of Charity. Mrs. Bsgwell, then
Mrs. Barssard, came about four years ago
to the Sisters Academy, where she left
her two little girls, agreeing to pay twenty
four dollars q month for beth. One Of
the children was twenty. eight months
old and twelve dollars seems reasonable
enough. Mrs. Brassard paid little now
and then. but owes the Sisters sixty dol
lars to this day. Mrs. Bagwell seems to
insinuate that the Sisters were go cruel as
to refuse shelter to her homeless babies.
If all her statements are as devoid of
truth as this, little reliance is to be placed
on her word. Besides, ifthe Sisters were
to take in gratuitously all the poor babies,
how cosld they scrape together the $500
taxes and the heavy interest on mort.
gage. Let Mrs. Bagwell pay up instead
Of perverting truth to excite sympathy,
then the Sisters will not be obliged at
times to beg in order to make ends meet
and will be enabled to extend helping
hands to unfortunate babies.
