The Torbett concert company will be
here for two days, next Friday and Sat.
urdsy. They will give entertainments at
Wilners' Hall each evening. The com.
pany consists of Miss Ollie Torbett, VIC
linist; Miss Lucie E. Mason, pianist, and
the Lutteman Quintette from Stockholm,
Sweden. They have appeared in this
city several times and have always given
a high-cla-s entertainment. The follow.
ing is from the Chicago Inter Ocean:
Miss Ollie Torbett won the favor OF
the audience before she played, and held
it more firmly after she produced tn Sc
exquisite tones upon her violin. Az an
angel face, wrapped in golden halo Of
tenderIy entwiniDg curls, and bending
over her favored instrument, this girl
presented a picture to move one to
thoughts OF living be u Y IN face and

There was row on Fifth street last
night about II O'Clock which caused the
officers no little trouble. A couple oi
young men got into a scrap and were
lighting on the sidewalk. One OF the
men had assaulted the other without
provocation and was giving him severe
drubbing, when Officer Murphy arrived
and attempted TO arrest the offender.
After some twenty minutes of hard tus-
sling, which appeared to greatly amuse
the onlookers, the fighter was landed in
jail with the assistance OF Officer Beck.
