The cool nights of the past
week have prevented tomatoes rip
ening as fast as hoped for, and the
Canning Co., has not been running
full time. The strike on account
of price for pseling has been de-
clared off and harmony reigns.
The Teachers Institute is in
session this week with a good at
tendance. Examination will be
held tomorrow and Saturday. A
fuller report may be expected
next week.
We are always thankful to the
friends who give US information OF
news items, but we desire all state
ments which affect personal char
acter to be well founded. These
hints are suggested by call from
VIM. Weiderman, who says that a
recent item in the ENTERPRISE in
relation to himself was not true.
Some weeks since we stated that
Mr.. Weiderman had been arrested
for cruelty to horses. He says
that this is not fact, but he says
he was arrested for abuse of cattle,
but no trial has yet been held.
We gladly make the correction as
we don't wish our columns to bear
false witness against any.
The Wells-Fargo Express Co., is do

good nature.
Our streets present very busy ap-
gea.ance these closing days Of August
dred Of loads Of liquid lusciousness, the
loading of cars of oats, alfalfa seed, etc.
and the movement Of goods shipped in

tary country, Rocky Ford's streets have
a business stir which is most gratifying.

among them being THE Pride of New

Inc work Is all dore by the city

year si5OVn The streets are swept from
once a week to daily. The unpaved streets
ana alleys ar. In charge of the engineering
bureau. The street cleaning department
has nothing to do w!.h them. All work is
done by contract. Machine brooms are
used. The Pride OF New York" being
among them: The city Is divided into eight
districts, and the contract for each district
was advertised for and let separately. As
a result, one contractor was allowed IS and
" cents per square of 10000 square feet
for cleaning asphalt ard stone pavements.
While another contractor was paid 30
and "a cents, respectively. for the same
class or work. The department handles
garbage an ashes and the work Is done by
the city, the former being cremated just
beyond the city line and the latter used for
Milling low lands. Last year S120OD0 was
expended in this branch OF the department.

are employed. The cost of the work for
1888, which does not irclude the removal OF
snow and ice. was Si1, ISL. 40. Some streets
are swept daily by hand brooms, but the
majority of them by machines once. twice
and three times per week. according to the
traffic. Both brooms and sweeping ma
Chimes are made by the city. The depart

ing from one to six times a week by night
Hand sweeping is constantly going on
every day Of the week. Alleys are not
swept. Machine sweeping is done by the
city; hand sweeping by contract. Six two
horse machines are employed. As only
about 3d,onV0 square yards of paved
streets were swept during the year, Il viii
be seen that the work costs at the rate of

turning in Of a riot alarm and the calling
out OF three patrol wagons filled with police
occurred late last nIght in front Of No.
4,17 Ashland avenue. Chicago. One man
was instantly killed, two were fatally hurt
and four men and one woman seriously in

worth family with Cassidy, who is a brother
OF Mrs. Lizzie Dunworth. the wife Of VIM.
Dunworth. reside on the second floor. The

shall. who was too delinquent in paying his
rent to suit the Dunworths. On Sunday
Cassidy attempted 20 collect the rent by
force and was badly beaten by Marshall
Last Eight Cassidy and Marshall resumed
their fight, and the latter. who had with
him several friends. chased Cassidy into the
street The fight was warming up when
John Dacey. a friend OF Cassidy. came along.
He had a revolver and tried TO shoot the
Marshall crowd, but his weapon would not
work.
Mrs. Dunworth then came to the rescue
OF Dacey and Cassidy with some paving
stones. Just at this time Ray and Donahan
came along in q buggy.
Just how they became mixed in the FIGHT
nobody knows. but they were In II as soon
as they saw it. A paving stone hurled by
Mrs. Dunworth struck Ray at the base OF
the brain and broke his neck. He also re-
ceived a stab that would have proved fatal
had the paving stone been less effective.
By this time dozen men were in the Tight
on each side and fists. knives, clubs re-
volvers and stones were all in active opera
ton.
A call was sent for the police, and just as
they began to arrive a strange man, with
Donahan's assistance. put the body Of Ray
into the buggy and drove away. After go-
ing several blocks they discovered that Ray
was dead, threw the body into the street
and drove away. The police arrested half
the neighborhood and carted the wounded
