Thought it was a Fight.

A few nights ago several ladies were
passing a well-known public house and
while abreast of the front door
heard several discharges from pistols and
a noise which followed as though all the
alarm clocks in Alexandria had suddenly
1'gone off" Surprising fight with
sanguinary consequences was in progress
in the place, the ladies shrleked and
made rapid tracks from the neighborhoodI,,
apprehensiye lest the front door should
suddenly be carried away and individuals
rush out with gore cascading down their
faces. They subsequently learned that
everything was tranquil in the public
house and that the disturbance was
brought about by the introduction OF a
candidate into the mysteries OF a secret
organization which has its lodge room
in the second story of the building.

Assaulted at a Ball.

There was ball at the colored Odd
Fellows Hall, on south Columbus street,
last night, and blood on the sidewalk in
front of the building this morning was
ominous. Officers Roberts and Beach
later arrested young colored man
named Arthur Robinson, who admitted
he was one of a trio who assaulted
another colored individual named
SidncS Parker while the ball was in prog
ress. Parker was handled roughly by
his assailants, two teeth having been
knocked out and his head cut with a
stick used by one of the three darkeys.
The officers have the names of the other
two and will endeavor to apprehend
them.

Accidents on Southern Railway.

A head-on collision occurred at an
early hour this morning between two
freight trains at Burke's station, on the
Southern Railway, a short distance south
west of this city. Both engines were
considerably damaged and several cars
derailed and more or less injured. The
accident was due to the heavy fog pre-
vailing at the time. A wrecking train
was sent from this city and the track was
soon cleared, occasioning but little delay
TO the running of trains.
Two Chesapeake and Ohio engines
which were attached to heavy freight
train we're derailed last night at Inlet,
on the Southern Railway, about fifty
miles from this city. They were re-
placed on the track after considerable
labor. No one was hurt in either of the
accidents.

Heavy Fog.

The heaviest fog of the year settled
over this city and vicinity during the
we sma' hours of last night and was not
entirely dissipated until about ten O'Clock
this morning. At times it was hard for
pedestrians to distinguish objects across
the street, while nothing could be dis
cerned half square away. Navigation
on the river was accomplished with con-
siderable difficulty, and the whistles of
steamers and the changing of fog bells
could be heard continually. The fog
was very thick around the wharves, and
craft on the river but a few yards away
could barely be seen. Occasionally
steamers, resembling huge phantoms,
would glide along under one bell feeling
their way up or down the river. They
were sounding their whistles every thirty
seconds. About nine o'clock the sun
was struggling through the dense haze.
For a few moments it would shine as
silver, but was quickly obscured, but old
Sol about ten O'Clock finally asserted
himself and the fog was chased away.
Fair and mild weather has followed.

Released on Bail.

George w. Dix, charged with en-
bezzling money belonging to Osceola
Tribe of Red Men, of which organization
he was treasurer, was released from jail
today in the sum of $1,000 for his
appearance before the grand jury of the
Corporation Court next January. Dix,
it will be remembered, was arrested last
week and taken before the Mayor, when
he waived examination and was sent on.
Messrs. L. II. Machen and G. c. Carlin
today made formal application to the
court for the fixing of bail Tor the
accused, and Judge Norton placed it at
81 900. The necessary bond was pre-
pared and signed and Dix was released.

Collision on r.. F. & P. R. R.

A freight train wreck on the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad abont two miles north of
Fredericksburg, late yesterday evening,
caused considerable damage, but no one
was injured. A north-bound freight
train went on the siding at Cool Spring
with orders to wait for three sections of a
south-bound freight to pass. The train
pulled out after only two sections had
passed, with the result that there was a
head-on collision is about fifteen min
utes after the train started. The engi-
neers, fremen and others of the train
crews jumped and escaped injury. The
engines were demolished and number
of freight cars were broken up. The
track was blocked for several hours.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1902.
THE RESULT.

The city campaign is over and Mr..
Logan is the mayor-elect While Mr..
Griffin's friends were keenly disap-
pointed at his defeat, they have no
reason to be ashamed of the showing
made in the election. While some
bitterness was engendered by the
campaign it is only the short sighted
and narrow minded who would keep
alive such sentiments.
The Bee believed that Mr.. Griff1ns
election would best serve the inter-
ests of Kalispell and gave to him it's
ardent support. The people by a
small majority ruled otherwise and
without resentment or bitterness we
bow to the will of the majority.
Every effort which Mr.. Logan and
his administration may put forth for
the improvement or betterment of
Kalispell will receive the earnest
support of the Bee. While the people
may divide during the campaign,
when the majority have spoken and
it comes to the moral, social or bust,
ness welfare of Kalispell, they must
all pull together.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-04-09

welfare Of the city and county. The
conservative course of the union up
to the present time is a guarantee
for the future, and the Bee believes
that the fears expressed in the reso-
luton adopted by the business mems
association are groundless.
Fairness and moderation should be
the watchword of the business mems
association as we'll as of the labor
union, and this we believe is the real
desire of both organizations, and any
apparent friction has been due to a
as to the real pur-
poses of the union. The Bee desires
to advance the interests of the entire
and will support both the
union and the business mems asso-
citation when it believes them to be
right and will fearlessly criticise
either or both when it believes them
to be wrong.

BELIEVES IN LATE APPLES.

Tom McCIain Again Demonstrates
Possibilities of Orchord Raising.
Tom McClain, than whom there is
nobody in Western Montana more
closely identified with fruit culture,
has been giving his friends another
demonstration of the possibilities of
the orchard business in this part of
the country. He has been marketing
some fine late apples that are in
prime condition, and has shown that
it is easy to have Bitter Root apples
the whole year around, provided they
are cared for in the right way. Mr..
McClain is one of the first advocates
of the late apple as the most desir-
able for local orchards, and he was
so confident that his theory was cor
rect that the larger part of his big
orchard is made up of late winter
most of his neighbors have exhausted
their supply says the Muscular.
Mr.. McClain, too, ranks high among
Montana nurserymen, and has been
for many years successfully growing
fruit trees that have made fame and
name for his pleasant, sunny, hillside
farm near Carlton He is again this
season marketing his stock and is
selling trees and apples at the same
time. He has already begun to make
preparations for the Western Mon.
tana Fair this year, and promises to
make even a finer display than he
did last fall He is one of the main
stays of the fair, and has more than
once contributed heavily to the sue
cess of previous exhibits.
