replied Smith.
"And If said wanted Il quarter to

STRUCK HIM WITH A KNIFE.
VIM. HOLSTER Alleges That he was Badly
Assaulted by an Italian

William HOLSTER this morning swore
out a warrant before Justice lIcCarron
asking for the arrest of John Doeou,
on the charge of assau1ting him with
a deadly weapon.
Tt seems that the particular John
Doeon in question was DominicksOnti,
an Italian fruit merchant, having a
store on the east side of Main street
HOLSTER says he was driving with two
children this morning and went into
the Pacini fruit store across from the
one owned by Omit and when he came
out he discovered that some boys had
thrown some rotten apples into the
buggy, badly damaging the cushions.
He went to find the boys and saw one
of them running down the street and
Omit came out of his store as a defend
er of the boy. There was no trouble
between the men according to the
story told by HOLSTER, but the Italian
jumped on him and struck him three
times on the left side of the head with
a knife which is commonly called a
banana knife. The assault was terri
fc while it lasted and HOLSTER was
picked UP in the middle of the street.
When he reached the Office of the JUS
tice blood was sire aiming down his face
from three ugly wounds on the side of
the face.
Tt seems that there has been some
bad blood between HOLSTER and a
brother Of the Italian which has caused
trouble in the past.
Later-Ond was arrested and taken
before the Justice and plead not guilty
to the charge and the case was contin-
ued until 4 O'Clock. He tells an entire
ly different story of the fray He said
that Hol1ister was drunk and started
to strike a small boy when he inter
fered. He did not strike the man with
a knife, but had a small banana knife
in his hand He says that he struck
Ho11ister with his fist, and the knife
cut him and not Ho11ister. Onti de-
clares that there was but one blow
struck.
When the case is tried it is probable
that the charge will be changed and
the Italian will be released on a small
fine.

The old Bag NAV Be the Means Of Clear
Ing up Some Mystery which Has
Baf7ed the Police for Years

The police of the city have been very
/ busy this afternoon attempting to dis
/ cover the story connected with an old
! mail sack which was brought to the
o6ice this morning, and they may be
fore the matter is settled, solve a uys-
terry which has long been on the list
of crimes committed ia the past
The old sack was found in the pos
session of Charles Nelson, a man who
was formerly employed as a painter at
the Simmons library. He took it to
the Postoffice to surrender it to the
government officials when he was
found by the Chief of Police. He was
taken to the Police Office aud told the
officers that he had intended to return
to his home in Chicago, and had gone
into Petersou's saloon on Main street
and asked for something to wrap his
old clothes in, Mr.. Petersen went
into an unused closet and gave him
an old bag, ard when the man uu-
wrapped it he discovered that it was a
bag used for transporting the United
States mail. He at once went to the
Postofhce for the purpose of turning it
over to the proper authorities.
Later Petersen was seen by tine police
but he had no idea as to how the bag
came into his possession He stated
that he had never seen it until he
brought it out of the closet to give it
to the painter ald that it might have
been 10 the place for many years so
far as he knew.

Chairman Not Able TO be Present and Little
work Of Importance Done


work Of Importance Done
The special railway com u1itteeof the
city council met last evening for an
other conference with Haynes and
C1ausen, but as the chairman of the
committee was not able to attend the
meeting, little Of Importance was done.
The ordinance, as improved upon by
Judge Slater, was presented to the
committee, but it will not be ordered
published until after it is submitted to
the committee at a meeting which viii
be held this evening. The changes
made ia the ordinance were of little
moment and when it is published it
will appear in about the same form as
when it was presented to the council
on last Monday evening. AS it stands
the committee reports that the ordi-
nance is a good one for the city, but
many Of the members of the committee
favor dropping the paving clause and
accepting the proposition Of Mr.. CIau-
sen to give the city bonus. This
action would certainly be favorab1y
received by a large majority of the
people interested in the construction Of
the road and should be fully investi-
gated before the publication of the
ordinance.

REVIVEs OLD CASES,
Towns of Wheatiand and Randall Must Pay
Costs of Famous Road Gases.

Costs Of Famous Road Cases.
Judgments were filed with the clerk
of the court this morning ia the suits
of the town of Randall VS. Andrew
Rovelstadt ct al and the town of
Wheatland VS. James 2. McCarry, di-
recting that the costs of the action be
paid by the two towns represented and
that the men who were the defendants
be reimbursed lor the moneys expeud-
ed in fighting the cases. The filing
of these judgments will recall the old
road cases tried in the CIRCUIT court
here ia 1897. The cases grew out of
trouble in regard to d road running
along Powers lake. The men who
were named as defendants in the suits
owned property adjoining the road and
in order to give their houses a lake
frontage the men diverted the road
some distance and made it run to the
rear instead Of in front of the houses.
The towns at once brought suit to Sc
cure the re-opening of the road in the
old channel. In the circuit court the
case was decided in favor of the towns
and it was at once carried to the SUI
preme court where the Judgment was
The costs Of the action which will
now be paid by the towns are exceed
ing1y large but the exact amount has
not been stated.
