During the progress of affairs in
Justice Slaters court this morning Mr.
Lloyd thought he had occasion to re-
mark that this Chicago Bedding COM
pany case seemed TO be trying
through the newspapers. Mr.. Fisher
remarked that Mr.. Lloyd should know
that the newspapers were always right
and the courts always wrong. This
was so good a joke Mr.. Fisher repeated
it. This brought the remark by At
torney F. F. Reed, of Chicago: Never
mind the newspaper men, brethren
they are mighty good fellows. We

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Halberstadt
had rather a lively time in Racine
Monday afternoon and they have kept
remarkably quiet about it, too Mr..
Halberstadt purchased new horse
and hitched the animal to surrey and
with his wife and Daniel Schlegel
started for Racine. just as they were
going into Racine on Asylum avenue
some children ran out into the road
and to avoid running over them the
horse was turned into the ditch. At
this he began to kick. He broke the
thills and dash board. Mr.. Halber-
stadt got out and caught the horse and
Mr.. Schlegel got out alright, but the
horse broke away and ran with Mrs.
Halberstadt still in the buggy. When
the buggy struck the street car track
she was thrown out, but escaped with
very few bruises. The surrey was
wrecked and Mr.. and Mrs. Halberstadt
had to come home on a train.
The board of health met at the
council chamber Wednesday evening to
discuss the condition of Pike creek be-
tween Main street bridge and Grand
avenue bridge. There was a commit
tee report concerning it and then con-
siderable discussion as to which body
had the power to enforce any decision
by the board, whether it was in the
hands of the board or the council. 1t
was finally decided to be matter in
which the board must act, so the COM
mittee report was accepted and the.
tannery people will be ordered to
dredge out the place where they have
been dumping the animal filth which
has decayed in the river and caused
the trouble. During the discussion of
the matter there came pretty near be-
ing lie passed between Messrs. Yule
and McGivern Mr.. McGivern recited
how the Aliens Sons had been dredg-
ing out their side of the river and the
soft stuff of the bottom of the river had
fallen in until the dredging had done
little good. He believed the Balm
Wagon company should be made to
dredge out the other side of the river.
Mr.. Yule at once passed the compli-
ment to Mr.. McGivern that he was
talking through his nose. Mr.. Nc
Givern responded rather hotly, but
Mr. Yule kept on talking and main
tanned that the Balm Wagon company
had nothing to do with dredging the
river. The mayor pacified the gentle
men and matters moved smoothly
