Miss Katie Adams, of Cadiz, was a
guest at the Windsor Hotel.
Miss Katie Love gave a very pleasant
improptu reception TO a number of her
young friends Saturday night Games
were enjoyed and refreshed also by all
present.
The X. OF P.'s were out in force, yes
terday, and promptly at p. m. the K.
OF p. band marched down from the hall
and up Belmont street to Thirty
seventh, thence to Noble, and south on
Noble to Central avenue, and thence TO
the cemetery. About one hundred
knights followed in line, each with a
small bouquet and others with crosses,
triangles, etc. of flowers. They showed a
very brotherly regard for their deceas-
ed members. The ceremonies were
very touching.
About the time the Knights were
gathering there was a crash and jung
ling of falling glass heard, caused by the
tussling of two youths about II to 16
years old, falling against small plate
glass in the door of ~ l.. Marsh's jew
elry store. The glass showered all
over one of the young gents, but for
tunately only his pocket-book was
touched. 1t caused a big excitement for
a short time. Boys will tussle, no diff
ference what damage results there
from.
Mr.. Jack Ferguson took trip out to

the guest of Charles Love for a few

About a m. yesterday Mr.. William
Link. who rooms with his wife at a
restaurant on Union street, had fall

TO chastise her in rather obstreperous
manner by striking and kicking her.
Her screams brought the landlady, who
ordered him to leave. He refused I'M

she refused to do, fearing for her life.
Officer Ernst was called in and prompt

languishes in Jail, awaiting a hearing
before Mayor Williams, who has hut
little sympathy for this kind Of citi-
zen. So William will get his deserts.
