The OVercoat Was Gone.

A prominent young resident Of Abingdon
district was deprived of his overcoas in Balti-
more on last Saturday evening in peculiar
and novel manner. He was walking along
Gay street near Fayette, when three men re-
ferred to him in language SO uncomplimentary
that 1t aroused all of the ire which coursed
through his Celtic veins, and when the re-
marks were repeated he took off his overcoat
and undertook to resent the insult Throw
ing the garment, which had cost him $35, on
top OF water-plug on the corner he charged
50 ferocousy upon the man that the latter
Instantly retreated. The Harfordonian pur
sued, and catching his victim proceeded to
''do him up" in professional style. Victory
perching upon his banner he returned triumph
autly to where he had left his coat. 1t was
gone Seeing one Of the three men standing
near by he sailed in with such vim as to cause
the second party to flee, shouting for the
police as he ran. Our fellow countian had re-
scented the insult but the valuable overcoat
was non est. He repaired to the Central Sta
ton and sought the aid of the authorities In
recovering the garment. His mental condi-
Ilon did not seem to be improved BY the hard
ly suppressed smiles Of the officials when they
heard his story, as he failed to appreciate
where the fun came in.
