by nearly all of our larger cities aud

not only serve as a much more con-
venient and laudable way OF distin-
gushing The different buildings, but
would prove a source of patriotic in

learn aside from the instruc.

days set apart for special reference

The suggestion thus made is Use

be carried into execution in Rock Isl.
and with little difficulty on the pare

name plate for each, and the replac-

FIGHT ON NINTH STREET.
Ike Hart Draws Claret From White Me,
and Visa Versa.

Ike Hart Draws Claret From White Men
and Visa Versa.
An ugly fight between Ike Hart
(colored) and Thomas South and a
young man named Coyne, occurred
on Ninth street last evening. Rocks
were employed as weapons in the
battle, and the three men are carry
ing evidences of their faces having
come in contact with something
hard.
The trouble started, according to
Harris story, when he sought to pro-
tect Garfield Mays; a colored boy who
lives in the neighborhood, and who
was being illtreated by South and
Coyne. Ike says he was on his way
home when his attention was attrac-
ted by abusive talk which was being
heaPed upon young Mays. who car
ries a shining box about the city
every day-an erect aud military
looking little fellow. Ike saws he
could not stand by and see the little
boy abused by two men. So he in
quired as to what the trouble was.
whereupon. he further claims, South
wheeled around, and after reminding
him that he was u niger of the
black st stripe. heapet all sorts of
names on him and warned him to
keep his oar out or he would get
what he was 10 king for.
Ike was not seeking trouble, he
says, but when South made a pass at
him he stepped to one side and
planted bunch of knuckles from his
right wing in the front of his phvsi.

which every rule of pugilism was
disreyarded. ensued. Ike SAWS he
floored South and gave Coyne a dose
OF the same medicine. Rocks began
to fly and the three men were pretty
badly used up before the FRAY was
ended. Ike is carrying a piece of
