CHICAGO, May 13.-Free fights
followed the meeting OF the Ham
mOnd, Ind, common council last
night. A mob of angry citizens
invaded the council chamber and
became aroused to pitch of fury
by the councilmens' action and at
the end precipitated a hand to hand
fight in which the following per-
sons suffered severely:
Ex.Councilmsn Fred. Newell,
scalp wound, caused by heavy
cane in the Of hands Charles Speic-
hardt.
Emil Melindroff, ex.township
officer, two teeth knocked out,

ated by unknown parties.
Frank Bonner, head cut and in
ternally injured.
Charles Speichart, eyes gouged
and otherwise disfigured by by
ISLANDERS.
1t is understood that numerous
arrests will follow the fight and
todsy's police court proceedings
may add another chapter to the
affair.
The trouble came over a bill in
troduced into the assembly on
Friday. Anticipating its passage
the democrats applied for an in
junction which was granted yes
terday by Superior Judge Cass.
The writ contained an order en-.
joining Mayor Mott and the coun-
cillors from creating any new
wards in the city and in anys way
changing the present boundary
lines or adding to the territory.
Despite the order the mayor
called for the vote.
Councilman Reilly arose to pro-
test and that was the signal for
the outbreak.

Nearly every man has his pet cures

which their inventors will proudly tell

But 1t remains for q Girard house bar

as simple as he claims 1t to be eject

priest Of Bacchus, possesses remarka-
bic curative powers, and as de-
stroyer Of headache 1t has. no equal.
The beauty Of 1t Is that you don't have
to endanger your mental equilibrium
by drinking It. Just: take a few drops
in the palm Of the hand, rub the hands
together until. the liquor Is partially
absorbed into the skin, then cover the
face with your hands and inhale the
odor until you can no longer detect 1t.
It is q positive cure philadelphia

GOLD AND DIAMOND THIEVES.

In South Africa They Are one Of
the Plagues Of the Country.
5 The gold and diamonds Of. South
Africa have already attracted q very
fair proportion Of the thieves Of the
world to that favored region. Some
very fine hauls have been made, and
others all but made: but ono hears lit
tie Of such things over here; there 10
so much Of solidly interesting South
African news that the cables seldom
give US the picturesque. Decidedly the
most sensational attempt was one a
few years ago on the diamond train.
To reach Cape Town from Kimberly
used to take. three days, or at least
two days and three nights. The dia-
monds used to be carried In q safe In
the postoflce sorting van. Some ex-
pert thieves found out where the safe
always stood In the van, and under
that spot, beneath the bottom Of the
van, rugged up O platform Of rope and
plank, wherein q man could lie and
work with q drill as the train sped on
Its way. 1t is lonely journey, with
hours and hours between stations. The
thief endured his uncomfortable posi-
tion beneath the moving train long
enough to bore O circlet Of holes In the
bottom Of the iron safe, having first
cut piece out Of the bottom Of the
van. His plan was to complete the
circle in this tedious way SO as to re-
move piece Of the safe bottom and
leave hole large enough for the In
sertion Of an arm, the removal Of q
bag, and the capture Of fortune In
diamonds. Unfortunately for him, he
was either disturbed or he got tired or
he dropped OF his planks. At any rate,
he did not cut out the piece Of metal,
consequently did not reap his glitter
ing reward. He escaped. The post
Office people in the van heard nothing
Of the drill which probably was silent
save when there was the clatter racket
of the wheels to drown it's noise. When
the platform and the pierced safe were
discovered the thief had gone and left
no clew beyond his handiwork. which
never proved sufficient for tracing
him.-St. James Gazette.

A True Indian story.

A century ago America was the
home Of savages, who hunted for most
Of their living, and would sometimes
carry of people from their homes as
prisoners. Once there was man and
his boy working in the field, when
the Indians made an attack and cap
tured both. While on their way to
the Indian camp, along the side Of
the trail they saw the Indians take
another man, whom they had pre-
viously captured and tied. So they
took all three prisoners to the camp
with their hands and feet bound to-
gether. The Indian chief said he
would watch one, and this one OF
them was allowed to sit by the chiefs
meat which they had killed that day,
and he had carelessly caid his knife
down by him, where the man could
reach 1t. The man picked up the
knife and began to turn it first one
way and then another. all the time
watching his chance. He finally got
an opportunity to stab the chief in
the breast. The chief fell over with

other two loose, and all went home.
A few days after the boy and his
father were getting some wood from n
little creek near the house, when they
thought they heard some turkeys over
on the other side of the creek. The
boy wanted his father to let him
take his gun and kill the turkeys, but
his father, knowing that Indians
sometimes made such noises SO az to
entrap people. would not permit him.
The father went on with. his work,
but the boy slipped Off with his gun.
He crossed the creek by the foot-log,
but the bank was steep, and as he
was little afraid Of Indians, he
crawled to the top and peeped over

head sticking up from behind a log.
The boy got his gun into position, and
when 1t appeared again, took aim and
fired. Throwing down his gun, he ran
home, where he told his folks that he
had killed IN Indian. They did not
believe 1t, but a party went to the
scene and found it true, and 1t proved
to be an Indian chiefly Hubert
