Police Make Raid ON Itinerant Venders
ofDry Goods.
The people of the West Side have been
patient sufferers from the evil OF too much
peddlers. The place has been overrun by
this class of statesmen, and in many in
stances II has been known where ladies
have been grossly insulted. Scarcely an
hour In the day would pass but what
these men would invade and IL refused
would, in many cases, be more or less
abusive. The police officials have been
on the watch for this gang for some time,
and yesterday afternoon their efforts were
rewarded by rounding up one of the bands.
Yesterday afternoon 1t was learned that
a band of these chaps had invaded the
West side, and Sergt. Louks and Officers
Coombs set out for the seat OF war. They
came across the men wanted on Richard
son street where they were making life
unbearable for the residents. After watch
ing the itinerant merchants for some time
and getting sufficient grounds for their
arrest, the party was corralled and brought
to the police station. Not any OF the
party could show license, they claiming
that they did not think 1t was necessary
for them to have license. The party was
arraigned about 1 80 o'clock and each was
fined 80 and costs.
The peddlers gave their names as Arthur
Keefe, manager, George Allen and Francis
J. Ross. Keefe, the manager, pleaded
guilty and was held in the sum of $500 for
trial Tuesday. The men had complete
outfit of banquet lamps, clocks, pictures,
etc., which they were disposing OF at un-
heard of terms. The men claimed that
they were in the employ of the American
Wringer Company, and supposed that the
company had the licenses.

FATAL RESULT.


James Rowley Died This Morning After
Enduring Much Suffering.
James Rowley of Watson street, the vic
tim Of the elevator accident at the j. q p.
Coats mills, died this morning after suf-
fering intense pain.
The deceased was in his 22d year, and held
high place in the estimation of his COM
panions and employers. 1t was hoped at
one time by the attending physicians that
Mr.. Rowley would survive the shock, but a
complication of diseases setting in he
gradually lost strength.
A TRIBUNE reporter interviewed DR..
Chace this morning and the doctor said
that Rowley died from the effects of his
internal injuries, but the exact truth
could only be determined by an autopsy.
Mr.. Rowley's folks are opposed to this
idea, and consequently none will be held.

broken by the shock, had fallen across

giant cactus with which these deserts
are thicltly studded an eagle the like of

she finally spread them and flew heav-

creasing her speed. The cactus on

to height of 25 feet, where a cluster of
branches nearly us thick as the parent
stem grew out from 1T and turned up
ward, while the main trunk, without a
bend, rose several feet higher.
Between two of these branches and
the trunk there was built nest of good
sized sticks, about twice as large as Il
bushel basket; and on this my eyes
happened to be resting when the noise
of the shots brought above its edge ~
little head covered with grayish-yellow
fuzz, out of which peercd two big
round eyes with an air of anxious in

In that desert country, far from rail
ways and towns, we led rather dull
lives; so the several pets we possessed
in the big permanent camp miles away
served in no small measure to amuse
us; and to these we wished to add
our young friend of the cactus But
how to get him down was problem.
