TUESDAY, JUNE g, 1899.
Broke the Piano.

There have been a couple OF Italians
playing street plano on the streets Of
the city for the past week and picking
up a few dimes and other small coins
as they could find those who would
give them for the pleasure OF hearing
the music They were down at the cor
ner of Second and Ohio streets Monday
afternoon, when it Is alleged that Ben
Carey, who was an entire stranger TO
them, came out of Mary Hines saloon
and ordered them to get out of town.
They demonstrated with him, when he
told them to get out or he would throw
them into the river. He proceeded to
put his threat into execution at once
by overturning the instrument which
was considerably damaged by the ac-
tion The foreigners who had the ma
chine in charge we're dumfounded at
his action and were not even disposed
10 take their own part or try to retail
ate, when Ben Dye arrived upon the
scene and upon inquirlng into the
cause of the trouble, was asked out of
the wagon which he was driving, by
the wrathy Carey He quickly ac-
cepted the invitation and as promptly
knocked Carey down when he attempt
ed to strike him. They had quite a
fight, with Carey getting the worst Of
| it, when snother man, who wished to
stop the fighting, took hold of him and
told him to come with him. Carey
then began to fight the second man,
who proceeded to do him up in bad
shape. A policeman was called, and
after he had interviewed some of the
onlookers, he took Carey to the city
prison.
1t was reported to us that Carey had
been trying all day to get fight out of
somebody, and had been looking for a
certain man who was successful in
keeping out of his way.
The piano was rendered useless by
the accident, and the foreigners who
were operating it are thereby outo of a
job for the present. Such an instru-
mnt is quite expensive, as they are as
intricate as a piano and contain in ad-
dition tire machinery to make them an
automatic playing machine.
Whether the charge against Carey
will be merely drunk and disorderly or
whether it will be malicious destruc-
tlon of property we have not learned,
but there wiuld be grounds for either
or both, If the reports of the bystand-
ers are to believed.
One of the owners of the instrument
was nearly heart broken over the af-
fair and his grief was pltlful to wit
ness.
