An Exciting Incident Marks the Arrest OF
the Aggressor Who is Taken to the City
Hall.

An Exciting Incident Marks the Arrest of
the Aggressor Who is Taken to the City
Hall.
An intoxicated woman came to the
police station Wednesday to complain
about the arrest of her daughter, who
had perhaps gone wrong through the
evil influence with which her home was
surrounded. The woman was SO drunk
she was unable to walk straight, and
when Captain Kane tried to get her to
go home, she was reluctant to do so.
She finally went as far as the King
street entrance to the City Hall yard
where she sat down on the sidewalk
and cursed the police and every one in
particular.
Finally she became SO boisterous that
Captain Kane and Turnkey Hammerer
went out to bring her in. The captain
had no sooner got hold of the woman
when man came running up to tell
him that fight was in progress at Fifth
and King streets. Leaving the woman
with Turnkey Hammerer the Captain
went at once to the scene of the fight,
There he found Apostoles Sakallisters
and John Profofies, two Greeks, engaged
in mortal combat. The fight attracted
quite a crowd and there was considera.
bic excitement in the neighborhcod, SO
that Turnkey Hammerer turned the
drunken woman over to a by-stander 10
hold while he too went to the scene OF
the hostllities.
1t was soon found that Sakallisters,
was the agressor in the conflict and
when Captain Kane arrested him he
had his antagonists head screwed tightly
under his left arm and was Furnishing him
with his right. Captain Kane managed
to gethim to the place where the drunken
woman had been released Tor bigger
game when he discovered she had gone.
Where's that drunken woman p
asked the captain,
Il left her with fellow to hold
said Turnkey Louis Hammerer, "but
guess she was too many for him. |
can't find her anywhere.
Il saw her running up King street
like a flash of lightning" said man
who had been standing ON the sidewalk
watching the excitement. 'As soon as
some one cried fight she snatehed
away from her captor and fled. IeXpect
sine is in Brandywine village by this
time"
The belligerent Greek was taken to
the City Hall and locked up. Next
morning he was given hearing before
Judge Ball when his fellow.country.
men gave testimony against him. 1t
seems that both men were born in
Athens and came to this country
together. Sakallisters sells lavender on
the street, while Pr9foiies keeps fruit
stand at Fifth and King streets. When.
ever sakallisters gets drunk he goes
down to Fifth and King and assaults
his fellow-countryman. And this is
why he was arrested. 1t cost him fine
OF 50 and costs for the fun Wednesday
night. This is the second time he has
been up for the same charge.

The Phenomenal Twin Tree From the
Front of the New Postottice Secured by
the High school.
The twin sycamore tree which has for
so many years attracted attention on
the west side Of Shipley street below
Ninth, just at the point Where the inner
pavement line of the Federal building
property joins with the stable property
adjoining, has been secured by the High
School.
The popularity of the tree is that it
springs from one trunk, then at height
ofabout two feet from the ground divides
of to two heavy trunks and are CON
nected about eight feet from the separa-
ton by joint as thick as one Of the
trunks, and joining them at direct right
angles to the trunks. The ligature is a
very peculiar one. 1t looks as if nature
had performed gigantic surgical opera
ton by placing lappings of bark at
either end of the joining and thus caus.
ing the two trunks to unite. The juno
ton, however is not simple coming
together. The two trunks do not depart
from their perpendicular line. The APP
pearance is as if another section of tim
Der had been braced between them and
the ligaturcs Of bark grated on at
eltherend. The latter feature is the one of
signal popularity i'll this case. IL reminds
one more Of the larger developments as
seen in the parasitic growths OF the
mistletOe and the oak.
Only the section, about 10 feet in
length, from the first junction at the
base of the tree to the Siamesc twinkle
joining above is retained. 1t is under.
stood that the proposition is to stand
the oddity up somewhere in the school
hallway.

Father COrbett to go to Rome and Pre-
sent His Case to tho Vatican.

LINCOLN, NEE, June 2S.--Father
Corbett, weary Of the delay in obtaining
hearing Of the priests charges against
Bishop Bonacum and of the bitter war
fare between the bishop and himself, has
decided to so to Rome and present the
grievance of the priests to the vatican

The expenses so far incurred have
almost Impoverished the protesting
clergyman, and in order to obtain funds
for his mission Father Corbett has ar
ranged lecturing tour, taking for his
subject, "Why it is SO Hard to be Good"
The bills announce it as recital Of
tyranny and oppression, and it is pre-
sumed to comprise in part history of
the Lincoln diocesan troubles.

The New York publication, Our Ami.
mai Friends, says: 1t is curious fact
that the hare, quiet us it is under ordi-
nary circumstances, has voice which
carries farther than that of either cat or
dog, when it cries out IN fear. The dis
tances to which the voices of different
animals will carry have been computed
as follows First, that of the lion; then
in regular order, come those of the
hyena, the screech owl, the panther,
and tile jackal. 1t is said that the bray
of the donkey can be heard fifty times
as far as the neighing of horse, while
the cry of the cat can be heard ten
times as far as the bark of tine dog"

Detroit Free Prcss.
1t was n plain, everyday case of
mutual admiration. He admired the
girl and she admired him. 1t was much
more than. admiration; they were in love
with each other. OF course one was
more so than the other, for it cannot be
otherwise, seeing that Cupid is born
with one leg shorter than the other: but
that Is not an insuporable obstacle 10

license clerk would be compelled to re-
tire from business. So il came to pass
that he proposed to her. That seemed
natural enough, but when she burst
into tears he was greatly disturbed.

came to his arms, "what is the matter 2"

"Wnat has that got to do with your

wonderingly

"Mcre than all the world; but can

derby.
"Oh, l can't tell YOU" and she burst
into fresh flood OF tears.
For long time he coaxed and urged
her to tell her fatal secret, and for long
time She resisted all his opportunities.
At last she yielded.
"4ou will not put me out of your
heart entirely if ] tell you, will you :"
she pleaded.
Certainly not, my darling" was his
brave reply, for men under such cir
cumstances are not always in hurry
to take risks, even ii they do love.
1T is this, darling" she said, hiding
her face on his manly bosom; 'you are
the thirteenth man who has proposed to
me, and am afraid to accept you with
that unlucky numbers baleful influence
hanging over u.s."
With ringing laugh, in which there
was only sunshine and joy and happi.
ness, he kissed her thirteen times and
folded her in his strong arms.
That's all right, my own" he almost
shouted; You are the thirteenth girl l
have proposed to, and that makes it a
stand.otf. y
And they lived happily ever after.
