TO SHOOT.
Martin Doyle Raises u Disturbance ut
Grants boarding House.

Grants boarding House.
James J. Grant, the keeper Of one of
the big boarding house at Carroll, came
up town last night and swore to a
warrant charging Martin Doyle with
disturbing the peace. The complaint
was drawn up by County Attorney Trip
pet and sworn To before Judge Williams.
IL seems that Doyle had been board
ing at Grants establishment for some
time, but left yesterday morning. When
he left he could not find a certain revolt
yer which he claimed had been in the
room. n which some OF the other
boarders probably hid IN him. He re-
turned To the boarding house last even
ing and threatened To shoot Grant fun
of holes IL he did not produce the gun.
He also threatened to burn the house
down, 30 Grant says. All of this was
to be accomplished before 3 O'Clock IL
the shooting iron were not produced.
His language at length became SO loud
and offensive that h whole neighbor-
hood came out TO. Sc who was being
murdered.
The warrant for Doyle's arrest was
given To Deputy Sheriff McGu;nness,
who went down to Carroll on the $3.50
O'Clock street car.

1T WAS A BLOODY FIGHT
Two Colored Men Beat Each
Other Over the Head.
QUARREL ABOUT WOMEN
Bill Jones and Henry McElroy Engage
in q Scrap in Which Bottles. Rocks
and Other Weapons Are Used.
They Are in Jail.

Yesterday afternoon about s o'clock
there was a bloody fight between two
colored men named Bill Jones and
Henry McElroy in the negro colony on
West Commercial avenue. Both of the
men were drunk. and the quarrel start
ed about the affections of a couple Of
colored fairies. 1t is not just exactly
known how the trouble began, as wit
nesses did not get around until the
fight was in progress. and the men
themselves were too drunk to tell
about it.
1t appears, however, that we col
ored women who make their home i'm
mercial avenue n Hickory street
were the objects of contention. The
two men are boarders at Mrs. Gar
vey's boarding house, and. according
to Mrs. Garvey. Jones bought a guam
tity OF whiskey. of which both men
partook freely. During the course of
the drinking there was some talk
about the women. but the men parted
company apparently the best OF
friends. Jones lay down on a sofa and
went to sleep. He soon woke up. how
ever, anu lHtn tDt lain was ItSuIiitb
with moro vigor than ever.
Finally the men went into the alley
between Commercial avenue n Front
street, and Jones. so Il is said, struck
McElroy on the head with a big rock.
The %belligerents clinched and pounded
each other freely. using rocks, old bot
ties and weapons of a like character
in order to make their blows more ef-
fective. Mrs. Garvey called Chief of
Police White and he took the two men
to jail.
Both were badly cut about the head
and the blood ran down their faces
freely. Jones was the least hurt OF
the two. although he had an ugly-look-
ing scalp wound McElroy was sc
weak and dazed from the effects of the
beating and the whiskey that he had
to be carried into the cell. Here he
rolled upon the foor and groaned as
though he were ready to die. but he
afterwards cuieted down, and he VIII
probably be all right by to-day, ex-
cept for the soreness of his head. He
has a bad cut in the scalp, and ii was
at first thought that his skull was
fractured, but upon examination this
was found not TO be the case.
The fracas attracted a big crowd and
everybody tried to separate the com
batants. Both men got in severa
blows before they were finally marched
off that were hard enough to Kill a
man with an ordinary skull. McElroy
was arrested a few days ago for dis
turbance. The two will explain theil
unbecoming conduct before Judge F1tz'
gerald to-day.

Rats and Mice Elcctrocuted.

From The Chicago Trlbuht.
The latest device for catching rats and
mice and killing them is by the use OF
electricity. The appearance OF the ma
chine is very simple. The platform is OF
metal and connected with one pole of the
battery. while the other pole Is insulated
by "A glass rest and resembles somewhat
the case for electric light bulbs In the
center is the wire of the other pole. made
into a hook bait. upon which the cheese
is placed. The trap Is operative only
when the two poles are connected by
some other medium. The current may be
turned on and yet never have any effect
unless both the metal platform and the
hook are simultaneously connected. The
plan is to bait the hook and thus attract
the rats and mice, which will have tc
mount the platform to get at the cheese
As soon as they touch 1t the connection Is
made and they fall dead-electrocuted.

STRAY MAILS.
The Police Are Instructed to impound
Cows and Horses.

Vows ana stoISts.
About every three weeks il becomes
necessary for the police To make a raid
on the stray cows and horses which are
permitted to roam about the streets.
There are several of the animals I'm the
pound at the present time. which have
been there for a humble Of days. The
animals will be sold unless the owner
or owners redeem them to-day.
The southern and western portions of
the city are particularly bad in the mat
ter OF stray cattle. Every night from
10 To a dozen horses and cows are turned
loose on the streets to pick up what lit
tie they can find tn eat. The police
have been instructed to impound every
stray horse and cow found on the streets
and to-day a general raid will he made.
The horse owner who works his team
all day and then turns them out To rus
tie for themselves Is little more than a
brute. \ man who cannot provide food
and shelter for the animals that make
his living for him does not deserve to
have a team. If people realized the
danger of permitting their COWS To roam
about the streets they probably would
keep them at home. Half fed, the poor
animals seek the filth and offal in the
alleys and pick up what they can. the
wonder is that more cows are not al
ticted with tuberculosis and other dis
eases. contracted through eating de-
Cayed vegetables and other unwhole-
some food. Besides his the cows are
doing a great deal Of damage Ia the
trees which are now just beginning Ia
blossom. The sweet and juicy buds are
greatly to n cows liking, and several
cases have bene reported where trees in
reach of the cattle have been denuded.
Several instances are also reported where
cattle have broken into yards and
brought ruin to newly made flower beds
and vegetable gardens.
