Leitzel filed objections to the report setting
forth that he would give $4,000, or $275
more than was bid by Bradigan Bros, for the
property. The court took the position that
the sale could not be sent aside, as Leitzers
offer was less than three per cent. of the
amount that was bid at the sale and the law
required that an offer should be at least ten
per cent. and refused to set the sale aside.

Gus one. The man almost bled to death
while walking about the town in search Of

The man cut wps Joseph Salaicwic2. Ac-
cording to the story he told Justice Shoe
maker, he was in The saloon when John

slash extended from the hair line on the
right side of the face, over the cheek and
half way across the throat. The injured
man rushed from the saloon with blood
streaming over his clothing. He walked first
to DR.. Prices office on West Lloyd street,
then to Dr. Hamiltons on North Jardin
street, then retraced his steps and walked to
DR.. STEMS office on East Centre street The
latter was in his office and took charge of
the man. Heavy blotches of blood on the

would collapse entirely on account of the
great amount of blood he had lost, but to-
day DIR. Stein expressed the opinion that the
victim would recover.

given hearing before Justice Shoemaker

and their navy and declaring that Spain
would have an easy victory over them. This
made the prisoners patriotic spirit rise and
