to Fight With.
A citizen called at the police station
yesterday morning and informed Chief
fifty young men, who had been drinking
freely, started a row shortly after mid
night on the sidewalk near the Califor-
MIA House at Twelfth and I streets, and
fought up and down the sidewalk for an
hour and a half, nearly all the crowd
taking a hand.
Not satisfied with using fists, they
tore pickets from the fences and used
stones from the street with which to
carry on their warfare, and several
were knocked down and carried out of
the fray to give them chance to re-
cover
He says that there was free fight at
the same place on Thursday afternoon.
and that the crowd fill up frequently
with beer and liquor and engage in
fights and annoy the neighborhood with
their noise and foul language.
Citizens do not like to make COM
plafnt, he says, and therefore nothing
has been said about it till now. There is
only one officer on the beat between
Twelfth and Thirty first streets and the
north and south limits of the CITY. and
as soon as he leaves that part of his
beat the hoodlums know that thew are
secure from him until he can make bis
rounds again. They will have to change
their headquarters now, as the officer
on the beat will have an eye on them.

the dealer had partially stamped and

been given in payment for it,
They then arrested Ah Gwin, who was
selling the tickets, and also locked up

lam G. Goodman is a well-known
rancher on Grand Island and he makes
a speciality of raising potatoes, but just
at present many of Mr.. Goodman's
friends are 'joshing' him about an in
cident that recently occurred, and ac-
ccrding to the story would drive an
ordinary rancher to either quit raising
potatoes or staying at home.
ut seems that recently, while Mr..
Goodman was absent from home,
party from either Dixon or Vacaville
drove to his ranch and took thirty
sacks of Mr.. Goodwin's choicest
'spuds. Leaving word that he would re-
turn for more, the party, who drove a
four-mule team, left for home without
paying for the potatoes.

Shipbullding in England.

Shipbuilding in the United King
dom during 1894 showed an increase Of
nearly 100000 tons over 1893, although
it does not attain the average Of the
years preceding. Steamers were built
aggregating 966,219 tons, and sailing
vessels los, 3S4 tons; this represents 1913
vessels in all. The proportion Of steam
ers to sailing vessels, which is steadily
increasing every year, is now 9O.18 per
cent. During the year marine engines
were built with a total of 81. GIG horse
pOwre. The marked feature Of con-
struction was the effort to obtain enor-
nous capacity for limited gross ton
mage. with a pine-knOt speed on a min
imuln coal consumption. This economy,
Engineering thinks, has been carried
beyond the danger point, as such en-
gines are unable to hold a fully laden
ship up to gale.

ALWAYS IN A HURRY.

the Barber and the Tramp.

mr. JSnk10o Proved 1t BY the Lady,
the Barber and the Tramp.
Mr.. jenkins was always in q hurry.
1t CALLED him to have to wait for any
thing. A delay Of even q few seconds
in getting change drove him into a
passion. He always would walk down
town rather than wait for a street car
if the car was not in sight when he
was ready to go. 1t gave him nervous
prOstration IL the railroad train he
wanted to take was five minutes late.
But the worst trial of his life was the
necessity of having to wait his turn at
the barber shop. That he regarded as
a clear waste of time. He would try
every scheme to get into the shop at
a time when no one else was there
Often in desperation he would spend
an hour hurrying from one shop to
another in the hope of finding one
where he could be next" UnfOrtu-
nately, however, his favOrite barber
was also the favOrite of good many
other men, and he often had to bide
his time in patience, or rather impa-
thence. though it made great strain
on his nervous system
He started to enter the shop the 9TH
err evening. and as he peered through
the doesr ne saw to his delight that the
barber at the eleventh chair had no
victim. He Rugged himself over his
unusual luck, says the Buffalo Ex-
press. His hand was on the door
knob, but just at that moment a wom-
ans scream rang out close at hand.
A tramp had accosted her with a plea
for a nickel-fOr-a-night's -lodging. and
when she attempted to brush past him
had snatched at her purse. She was
clinging to it pluckily and screaming
for help. The street was deserted.

and he was out of sight in the door.
way, which probably had embOldened
the tramp to make the ASA alt.
Mr.. Jenkins took in the situation at
glance. He was chivalrOus man.
His first impulse was to rush to the
rescue of the woman. But as he was
starting to do so the thought of the va
cant chair came back to him. What
was he to do? If he stopped to help
the woman some one else might slip
into the shop and then he would have
to wait for his shave He took Il step
toward the struggling couple. Then he
turned and stepped back the other
way. He whirled himself around three
or four times in sheer desperation of
indecisiOn.
Then a bright idea came to him.
Springing into the middle of the side
walk, he waved his arms and shouted:
"Wait just minute, madame!
Please hold on a second or two, Mr..
Tramp! IL be there as quick as get
shaved. I'm next and it won't take
ten minutes. Just postpone your af-
fair till get through"
And with that he bOlted into the bar
Der shop. and dropping into the va
cant chair exclaimed excited!y: "Dou-
bic tip if you'll let me out quick. I've
got to rescue a lady from highway
man as soon as get through here"
