FOUGHT WITH KNIVES.
Colony of Slavs and Hungarians in
Cleveland Indulge in a Bloody
Battle.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 23.-Almost the en-
tire population living on Franklin ave-
lue hill, composed largely of Slavs and
Hungarians, with the exception of the
women and babies, turned out en- masse
last night in an effort to cut, stab and
slash each others heads. In fact it
was the bloodiest battle of the year
around the river front and Columbus
street districts. Blood of the combat
ants dyes the roadbed of the hill and
makes for the time being the scene of
battle a revolving spectacle. Fully forty
men were from the start to the finish
engaged in the terrible encounter. As
far as could be learned, at least twenty
persons were more or less seriously IN
iured, but the following are the only ones
whose names could be learned: a
SYLVESTER CARTER, aged 60 years, 5
Franklin avenue, five cuts on. back and six
cuts in head; will probably die.
JAMES CARTER, aged 20 years, Follett
court, four cuts in head; will recover.
JOHN SPRENDS, aged 33, 40 Franklin
avenue, dubbed on head will recover.
JOSEPH SPRENDS, 10 years, ~ Franklin
avenue, dubbed on back and head; not seri-
OuSly injured.
WILLIAM MALLOY, aged a. living on
Lorain street, cut in back and head repeat
eddy; seriously injured and may die.
ADAM SHERMAN, aged 80, living on
Smithhouse alley, cut in right shoulder; not
serious. AttA -tt.
MICHAEL ZEBECK, aged 80 years, liv-
ing at 1S9 Columbus street, dubbed; not
seriously injured.
ANTON BALLASK, aged p years. living
at 241 Columbus street, dubbed; not ser1-
JOHN KUssHLER, aged "a, 80 Columbus
street, cut about face and Jaw dislocated;
not seriously hurt.
A number of others were injured but
their names cannot be learned
The fight started on the street between
James Carter and John Sprends over a
very trivial matter. Carter jostled
Sprends in passing which led to angry
words and later to a fight. Other men
soon came upon the scene, among whom
were friends of both Of the combatants
and within a few minutes there was a
throng of fighting and cursing men
armed with knives and clubs which were
used with bloody effect. At the height
Of the fight there was a cry of police as
a patrol wagon filled with bluecoats came
dashing down the hill. Many of the
participants in the battle fed, but a
number who were rendered unconscious
or too badly injured to escape, were
piled into patrol wagon and taken to the
police station Others were removed in
ambulances to the hospital. 1t is said
that there is a broken head today in
nearly every house on the hill.

MINES RESUME.
The Minnesota Starts Up and
Leaves Only One or Two Idle
on the Mesaba Range.

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 23.-Word has
come frcm Tower that President Bacon
has wired Manager Edwin Ball to set
all the available men to work and to
open the shafts in every pit in the mines.
This is good news for Tower, as the
prosperity of that thrifty little city is
largely dependent upon the. amount of
work that is done at the mines st Sou
dan. 1t is expected that fully 800 me-
chanics, miners and surface men will find
employment at the Minnesota mine this
winter.
The working of the. Minnesota mine
at Soudan, the Chandler, Pioneer and
Zenith at Ely, the Fayal, Cloquet and
Adams at Eveleth, the Franklin group
at Virginia, the Genoa at Sparta, and
the Hull and Rust at Hibbing will give
work to most of the resident miners of
every town on the range with the eX-
ception of Biwabik, which will have to
depend on what work is being done by
Capt. Harry Roberts at the Cincinnati.

two homeless dogs, but. one touch OF

FORCES a mystical chain Of sympathy be-

one OF the dogs lay near a building.
Both OF his f~orelegs were broken. A
companion dog. one OF those ours that
never gets a kind word. but instead. a
kick from everybody, came along with a
bone between his teeth. This he laid
before the wounded canine In a gentle
manner. Scores Of persons stood on the
sidewalk and watched the we'll dog DO
all In his power to induce the injured

nurse more solicitous for the welfare Of
a patient than was that dog for his
wounded comrade. He caressed the
broken limb and did everything-dog
fashlon-that was possible to nake the
injured brute comfortable.
Many OF those who watched the Incl
lent were deeply affected. one " the
gentlemen present remarked:
"A dog a teach humanity some
things that they might learn with proit."

A BIRDS NEST OF STEEL

A curious gift has been made TO the
National History Museum OF Soletta.
This gift consists Of a birds nest, con-
structed entirely Of steel. There are
a great many watchmakers at soletta,
and in the vicinity OF the workshops
there are always the remains OF the old
springs OF watches. which have been cast
aside. Last summer a matchmaker dis
covered this curious birds nest. which
had teen built in a tree In his court
yard by a pair OF water-wagtails. II
measured ten centimetres In circumfer-
ence and Is made solely Of watch springs.
When the birds had fedged their brood
the matchmaker secured their unique
nest as an interesting proof Of the in
telligenee Of birds In adapting anything
which comes within their reach.
Is there any created being who acts
so much as II he had a first mortgage
on the earth as a head waiter?
