THE RYANS HELD The FORT.
RESISTED THE ENCROACHMENTS OF
A RAILROAD COMPANY.
'.It's Meself That'l Let Streaks of
Daylight Through Any Mon That

Fince," Said Mrs. Ryan.

Patrick Ryan and his wife have for years

ground unoccupied. excepting by the will
lows and weeds that grew in the sandy
soil luXuriantly, and built cabin with
high board fence around it. Yesterday the
even tenor Of their way was sadly inter-
OF one of the railroads started to tear down
the fence which Patrick and his wife had
erected. The railroad men were in charge
Of S. Campbell, who claimed to be deputy
marshal.
Campbell told Ryans wife that he in
tended to tear down the fence about noon.
He was promptly run out of the place
by Airs. Ryan. who brandished revolver
over her head and in a rich but Ineligible
brogue informed him that he and his men
had better keep at a safe distance from her
home. Campbell returned about 1880 with
a shotgun. with which he presumed to in
timidate Mrs. Ryan. He stood up on the
grade of the railroad tracks which run near
the little shanty and with his shotgun over
his shoulder ordered the men to proceed
with their work. Mrs. Ryan and her hus-
band were eating dinner during this per-
formance. They heard a dull thud as
panel Oh tHelT fence Iell 10 tne STOuHu.
Both ran into the yard with revolvers.
''Iny mon who dares to touch anither
boord on me fince will get a suddin call
from the headquarters on high" was the
warning that issued from the lips of Mrs.
Ryan as she cooked the revolver and point
ed IL straight at Campbeus head. The lat
ter promptly brought his shotgun down in
line with Mrs. Ryans matronly figure, but
she did not finch.
BE dad and if there's any shootin' goin'
on. Oi'll be in it too," declared Ryan, the
husband. as he lodged himself behind a
rain water barrel at one corner of the
house and from this fortification covered
the gang of workmen with his trusty
weapon. Everything was at a standstill,
excepting the volleys of words and epithets
that were exchanged from both sides. The
smoke of battle was densest when Officer
Hogan arrived on tho scene in the patrol
wagon.
And it's brave lad that's comm to me
rescue now exclaimed the old woman.
fervently, as she rolled up both sleeves and
again ordered Campbell and his workmen
to retreat.
Officer Hogan patiently heard both sides
of the story and then advised Campbell to
secure the necessary legal papers to grant
him the right of way through Ryans yard.
Although this sage decision temporarily re-
leived Mrs. Ryan and her husband the
woman threatened dire vengeance on Camp
bell in case he should put in his appear
ance in that vicinity again.

BOY AND BICYCLE.
They Take the Wrong Side of the
Street and Come to Grief.

Yesterday afternoon, at Fifth and Il
streets, an accident occurred that
showed the wisdom of obeying the law
of the road and the city ordinance for
drivers and bicyclists.
A boy of about Il years came scorch-
ing up the street, with head down so that
he could not see where he was going.
He was an the left hand side-the wrong
side-but that made no difference to
him, at least he thought so. Unfor-
tunately a spring wagon was coming out
Of fifth street from. towards l, and the
driver, also disregarding the ordinance,
turned into street within about three
feet of the curbstone.
The young bieyclist ran into the wa
gon head-on. and in a second he ana
his machine were under the wheels The
driver. pulled up, and the boy escaped
damage, but the bicycle was somewhat
damaged.
That boy will probably look ahead
hereafter when he wants to scorch. A
great many riders seem to ignore the
fact that the ordinance regulating the
riding of bicycles provides that riders
shall always ride with their heads up
so that they can see what is ahead OF
them and also that they must keep one
or both hands on the handle bar The
ordinance is violated daily. and if some
of them are arrested they can thank
their own careleSsness for it.
