FACE WAS PUNCHED.

bottles got his face pushed in this
morning by Angelo Scampini for
being too lmpertinent.
Rosenberg is the party who appear
ed before Justice A. G.. Fay two

ing d } wn the street this morning and
met Angelo Scampini standing i'll
front of his house ia the act of get
ting into bis wagon. There was an
argument which ended in
a row. He jumped from
the wagon and proceeded to use
Rosenberg as a broom to wipe up the
street with. When Scampini got
through with him BoSenberg'S fore
head was cut, his upper lip protrudtd
several inches further than it ordinar
ly does and altogether Phillip looked
as though he had been drawn through
sieve.
Rosenberg was passive after this and
Immediately made his way to the
office of Grand Juror H. S. Williams
and entered complaint. a warrant
was issued by Scamrini charging him
with assault and battery, and he APP
peared before Justice A. G. Fay bein e
allowed his liberty on $50 bail, which
he put up, to present himself at the

FORTY DAYS, FAST

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
 Milton Rathbun, the Fourth avenue hay and grain dealer. who started to do with out food for forty days to reaaee his weight, broke his fast today after thirty five days and six hours, by eating an orange Mir. Rathbun, who lost sorty three pounds since he ate his last meal on the evening of January H. said today that he never felt better in his life He looked, however, as if he had just arisen from the grave. ic
 When Rathbun went to bed on Sunday night he had no intention of breaking his fast before morning. o retiring he felt a slight inclination to eat. He awoke shortly before midnight. feeling ravenously hum gry. He thought this a warning that he had lasted as long as was good for him and decided to break the fast. He woke Mrs. Rathbun and together they descended to the dining-room, where he ate the fol- lowing: Two oranges, one dozen oysters, five soda crackers, two-thirds of a cup of beef tea, and half cup of tea.
 After breakfasting MT. Rathbun returned to his bed. He woke again two hours later still feeling hungry. He ate another orange, and slept soundly until morning, when he ate crackers and milk. At noon he had his first regular lunch, and now he will keep on eating.
