BATTLE IN CITY COUNCIL.
Mayor and Alderman of Peru, Ill.,, En-
GAGE in a Fiqht.

LaSalle. ILL.,. July 16.-At a meeting
of the Peru city council Monday night
Mayor ShadenSack and Alderman Nor
ley of the First ward became involved
in n fight over a question of personal
privilege. The mayor had accused the
alderman of being implicated in a ques-
tionable deal and the alderman, in de-
Tending himself, was ruled out of or
der.
A fight ensued, in which the mayor
called upon the city marshal for as
sistance. The latter refused to eject
Alderman Morley. as ordered, and was
asked to resign, which he did at once.
The council chamber was in an uproar
in an instant over the mayors accept
ance of the resignation, and for a time
general fight was imminent.
The voluntary withdrawal of the all
derman and the eX-marshal alone pre-
vented trouble. The members of the
council now threaten to impeach the
mayor for his ruling in declaring the
alderman out of order and trying to
eject him.

DEAR SIR;-I will write you a few
lines to inform you that we have re-.
turned to Fresno. We came here July
20. and do not find it much warmer than
in the mountains. This seems TO be an
uncommonly cool summer, which OF
course pleases the people hero.
There is very lafge fruit crop and
the cool weather makes the fruit little
late about ripening. Tho packing
houses have only just started, but have
not put on fuli force OF worklncn yet
There will be great demand for mcn
and it is thought that they will be
/ scarce.
Fresno is putting in an electric line

country TO the principal wineries aud
vineyards.

10 Nisalia where he will visit the Owen
brothers. Mr.. Flowers has bccu work
rug at Mader.a, but is thinking OF com
ing 10 Fresno to spend the wiLter. lio
likes the country and Is doing we'll.
Before Aden and | came away from
the mountains, We, with two friends,
went back into the mountains camping
for a week. We had II nice tiric f,niug
and hunting, but ,didu't kill any hig
game. We drank some very good water
and felt fac after sleeping in the open
air. and one other OF the party went
10 very high peak and before We reach.
ed the summit We crusscd over a great
deal Of snow in the gulchcs where the
sun cannot get 10. 1t seemed very odd
to US to be making suowbails in July,
The top Of this mountain ia above the
grouse is generally found, but We didn't
tiad any during the day. On our way
buck to camp my partner and | got sep
aratgd and before he reached camp ho
saw II deer and got two shots at il, but
did not get it, ~ he only had bird shot
IN his gun. The neXt morning another
one of our party and Auen went out and
got two shots at deer, but failed TO gct
it.

Unfortunately for the club aud its

be unreservedly trusted. With one
exception the persons reported to
DE more than lis years old are ne.
groes, who have a plentiful lack of
authentic birth records and a prone.
