We demand that laws be passed by

HORSE-WHIPPED
A Cleveland Editor.
Young Woman Resented Things
He Had Said About Her.

Cleveland, Aug. 1.-(SplJ-A little
ncighborhood gossip and a newspaper
comment about II young woman an
swerng a matrimonial advertisement
last evening resulted in an editor be-
ing horsewhippcd.
The victim was Henry i. Rudis,
editor of a Bohemian paper, called the
American. He now has an ugly cash
on his head just above his right ear
aud another over his left eye, which
were put there by Carrie Boucek, n
pretty 1S-yeaf-old Bohemian girl, who
lives ut No. 23 Svoboda st.
The young woman herself told the
police authorities that she used a
horsewhip in thrashing the editor, but
some of the witnesses of the affair
say she welded an umbrella. What
ever her weapon may have been she
managed to give her victim such pain
full gashes that he considered it neces-
sary to run into a neighbOring saloon
and have his wounds dressed. Hap
PLY he was accompanied by physi-
clan at the time he received his thrash

PLAYED GOLF.
Mr.. Miles Gave Major Bryan Ills
First Lesson.

himself, picked a point 200 yards dis
tant where he thought the ball should
land, and let drive again-with the
same result as before.
1T is so easy persisted Mr. Miles
with much patience and good nature.
You see though, you must make the
stick strike the ball and the latter is
thus given an impetus which sends it
flying. You might fan the thing for
six months but with golf stick you
couldn't raise IA current of air strong
enough to carry the ball off the tee.
Try again."
The third time Major Bryan pretty
nearly broke the ball in two, But
it went sailing through the mellow
light of the sinking sun, and struck
only hundred yards or so short of the
point the junior member of the firm
of Dick, Doyle & Bryan had expected
II would reach.
But Major Bryan was clatcd. Its
great game he said Thursday.
