found McKinley's great tariff speech deliv-
cred at Minneapolis and paper on '.Legiti-
mate Party Support of Newspapers read
before the republican editors last week by

history of our city-that crowds of men Will
not be allowed to congregate on the street
corners and spit tobacco all over the walks

to pass along the street without running her

before Justice Byerly yesterday afternoon

valued at $3.50 from MIS- Fannie Kipp, who
resides on King street. His examination
was fixed for next Monday at p. M, bail

wages to be paid for labor on water works

instead of by the day for digging
trenches and the board ordered this plan
put in force. The Poles employed on the
job became furious over tho decision and
refused to work or allow any one else to.
When Sheriff Collins and a few depuries
appeared on the scene to protect those who
desired to work. A charge was made upon

the death OF two of their number and the

officers with picks and sboyels, cutting them
up in horrible manner. Sheriff Collins
is SO badly wounded that Ii is doubtful
whether he will recover. Among others
assaulted was George Cathey, formerly of
Owosso who was nearly killed.
