Democratic Journals outnumbercd the
Republican. 1t was decided. however.
to leave no possible o for complaint,

been added 10 the recalling room list:
Cleveland p%laindealcr. New York Jour

THAT ALLEGED ASSAULT
On the Faulkner Club Saturday NiGht-A
True Statement OF the Affair.

s" thh"
The Register yesterday morning had
an ill-tcmpered and untrnthful account
OF the alleged assault made on the
Faulkner club on Saturday night. on the
South Side. by what 1t was pleased to
term n "Bcnwood rutiian." The ac-
count says:
The assault took place Immediately
In front Of the St. Alphonsus church.
While the club was passing this point
on their way home after -scorting the
speaker to his hotel. n party rushed out
into the midst OF the club with n brick
In his hand and threw 1t at n young man
named Higgins, n member of the club.
The brick struck Higgins on the side OF
the head, Telling him TO the ground.
After striking Higgins. the Benwood
r0wdy stopped FOR another brick, but be-
fore he could throw 1t he was pounced
upon by members nf the club and Sc
Vcrely bclabored about the head and
shoulders with their canes. ObcyinE
the Instructions which they had prcvi-
Ously received. the club did not break
ranks. but after a sOnd chastIsement
the club marched on and left the fel-
low"
The truth of the matter Is Albert Sc
rig. jr., aged sixteen years, and living in
BenwOod. came up TO the First ward
meeting saturday night. He was re-
turning home and when near the st.
A~lnhonsus church me- the Faulkner
club. There were yclls for Bryan, and
young Scrlg, boy-likc, yelled for Nc
kinley. a member Of the Faulkner
club thrust a torch In his face. and
young Serlg stopped and grabbed n
brick. hut did NOT throw It. He told
the bravet? Faulkner man he you'd
better pick on some one OF his size. One
word brought on another until three OF
the Faulkner men bounced on him and
gave him n terrible beating. His
mother called at the I~ntcllIGcnccr office
yesterday and verified this accoun OF
the. AFFAIR. She stated that scalp
wound on her sons head required three
stitches In. It. Young ScriE did not
throw n brick or anything else. II any
missile "a thrown 1t vas by some other
party, Always two sides to a story.
Mr.. Register. Anyhow. what 4 brave
thing 1t was for three grown men TO
pntIncc OF n siNtecn-ycar-old boy.
