Centrville pavilion yesterday. The match
was best two falls in three and was for
800 side and the gate receipts. Al
though 0'Donnell had six pounds the
best Of il in weight he was no match for
his opponent in science and Morgan won
an easy victory. Dennis o'Neil was Sc
lectei TO referee the contest and Mike
DoOley and William Jones officiated as
sticklers. Morgan won the first fall in
the first hitch with a plunker," or in
turn, and be got another fall OF the same
style in the third hitch following. The
match lasted altogether about twenty
five minutes, but there was less than ten
minutes ofaetual wrestling. Morgan has

lie StiII In Our Midst.

4 well-known young man hereabouts,
who has a reputation for being able to
live comfortably, well not by "the sweat
OF his brow but by some other means.
which bis fertile brain is constantly
strained to develop, attempted, at sew
oral times, within the last few days, TO
leave our busy city and also some debts
which he had contracted with "a local
merchant, but the said merchant was a
little too sharp and up to the present time
the young man is still soiourning in our
midst.
The young man in question had work ed
for short time in the mine, and while
30 doing ran up quite an account at a
general store on Fifth street. On very
short notice he became aware of the fact
that manual labor was not suited TO bis
taste and he left the employment OF the
mining company. The merchant hearing
OF this, attempted 10 get a settlement and
was paid half the amount due, the young
man stating that the balance would be
forthcoming in few days. Before the
lew days had expired, be was at the Lau-
rum depot on his way to pastures new,
but the merchant was there too and per-
suaded him TO remain few DAYS
longer. A second time he appeared at
the depot with his worldly valuables in a
valise, but the merchant, owning a bicy-
Gle, managed to get there few minutes
before the train left and he was again
persuaded TO remain. The case now
stands as follows: The merchant about
$50 out and the young man una
bic to leave the city. Further develop
ments will be watched with interest.

Another Collision.

Last evening Just at dusk an accident,
which fortunately did not have any &C.
rious results, occurred on the road near
Roehm's coal and wood Office. A gentle
man on a bicycle was attempting to
pass lady on wheel, when the two
collided and both fell to the ground.
Neither the young lady orgentIeman was
injured, but the latter's wheel was badly
damaged. IL is wonder that there are
not more accidents on the streets,
principally on Calumet avenue which.

many bicyclists use the road for a race
course, and can be seen "scorching'

their speed should take a less frequented
street.
