A Decidedly Interesting Row in
Which No Blood Was Shed.
Miss Healy the Successful Contestant for
the Diamond Ring.

Patrick Lawton whose place OF resi-
dence is on or rather in Hamilton Place,
once known to fame as the Butler ward,
was decidedly drunk and ugly last night
at the corner of North Main and Randall
street. Officer ]. A. Flynn Of the Second
station, who had just gone on duty, ic-
monstrated with Patrick and in kindly
way told him the best place for him was
to go home and TO bed. The drunken
fellow disiiked the encroachment OF the
officer on what he thought was one OF his
rights, that of making things about as
of the officer and a wrestling match en-
sued. Patrick, whatever else his faults
may be Is not an unhandy or weak fellow
and he held the officer quite nh argu-
ment, but finally the decision turned In
the officers favor and just about that
time officer James +. Ash OF the Third
station took a hand In the dispute and
box. In few moments the patrol arrived
with officer Gamble in ii and the would
be owner Of the junction was put In q
cell at the Second station.
Three young children named Vira
Gardner, ageu three years. and Maggie
Cross, aged two years. whose homes are
rs Pekin street, and Willie Louis Craig,
IL Palmer street, wandered sway from
home yesterday but were found before

There was more trouble at a stable on
Lopez street last evening than there Will
be over the settlement OF the next presi-
Dental election by big margin. The
story of the trouble was brought to the
Second Station by Max Gourlar, who was
in a very excited frame of mind, when he
reached the top step OF the long flight
that leads to this station. He claimed
that Nathan Aptel assaulted him with
a good sized stick. Officer Gamble was
sent over to hear the OF her side of the case
and he found himself in about as mixed
up an affair as te ever got into. Max and
Nathan both hire stalls In barn on the
street above named and the trouble in
the first place began over Max hanging
some harness on a stick that Nathan
claimed belonged to him. Max Levin
tried TO act as peacemaker and took
hold of Nathan, but the latter wriggled
out OF his grasp and struck Levin with
his head. Nathan threw Max down be-
hind the heels of the formers horse and
poor Max was in danger OF dying by in
juries inflicted by one OF the best
friends. IL the truth about the affair is
ever sscertained somc one may acquire a
reputation for wisdom second only to
that of the great Solomon.
