Nine Clashes in His Head.

Just before noon Monday Charles Kinser, painter who has worked here in town some, became engaged in a fight with Jeff Upshaw, and received nine gashes across his head and face, probably the result of being struck with six-shooter. From reports it seems that Kinser was drinking and had followed Upshaw into saloon after qnarreling with him on the side walk, and it was here that the fight occurred He was taken to the office of Dr. Reese, who placed fourteen stitches in his scalp. He was then taken to the city jail where he will be kept until he is sober enough to appear in court.

Bartolomeo was complimented, for one thing. and exhibit ed his satisfaction at my supposed Catholic tendencies by showing me what there was to be seen about the place as soon as the service was over.
 After inspecting the college build ings and cloisters, we went through narrow door into a room back of the chancel, where there were number of votive images in wax, representing either miraculous escapes from violent death, recoveries from mortal ill., nesses. or the cures of foul diseases. Although it was as thoroughly un- pleasant a collection as one could look upon. some horrid fascination induced me 10 examine many of the figures. One. for instance, was dressed in cot ton brooches and shirt, over which gouts of blcod from fearful knife cut in the side were flowing, the supposi- tion being that it represented the donor at a moment when the blessed Santa Catalina interfered in his be- half and enabled him to recover from a wound that would have killed an OK, exaggeration of the injury being pre- sumably the essence of compliment to the blessed saint. Another recumbent figure had a gangrened sore over its wish bone that would have made death from blood-poisoning q certainty in civilized country; yet the blessed San Ambrosio had attended to this little matter for the victim and had got him barangay to collect from in the bar gain; though, as it usually took the form of a remitted consideration in which Bartolomeo was the medium. no embarrassing recognition of the latter service appeared. Hanging upon the walls were arms with fostering sores upon them, legs with slashes which laid them open to the bone, torsos rotting with leprosy, etc., each with it's appropriate saint ticketed thereon. It didn't occur to me at the time that 1 should have occasion to re- member these things; so when Padre Bartolomeo lifted an iron trap in the floor, and descended a short flight of steps, was more than willing to fol- lew him without further examination

The colored excursion train which passed through our city Tuesday was reported wrecked near Horatio, but later developments showed that the engine tender and two coaches left the rails but no one was seriously hurt. The engineer and fireman and some of the passengers were shaken up but their injuries were only slight. As soon as help could reach them the cars were put back and the train went on it's way.

Fine Gooseberries.

o. P. Warner, careful fruit grower, living in the east part of the city, brought to the Star office, Saturday evening a quart of exceedingly fine goose berries. One year ago he set out two slips. ThIs spring he divided them and now has twelve plants all full of berries of an unusually large size. He says their growth is remarkable, and that he expects to plant big patch and grow them for shipping.
