HOT SALOON FIGHT
RiVermen and CordoVa Youth
Have Trouble in MIXERS
Place.
THE BARTENDER ACTS PROMPTLY
John Bryan Has His Face Bruised in
Decidedly Painful
Manner.

William Smith, riverman from Wi
mona, Mimi, was fined s. and costs
this morning by Police Magistrate
johnson, while Jack Stewart, barton
der at Lou MIXERS retail liquor es-
Enlistment, was dismissed on pay
ment of costs, their appearance in
court being occasioned by fracas
which occurred early this morning in
MIXERS saloon between two river men
and Louis H. Pinneo and John Bryan,
the two latter youths from Cordova
who had been doing "Bucktown"
across the water
Bryan's face was in terrible condi-
ton. The right eye was almost en-
tirely, closed. the flesh being confused
and bruised until it was of a uniform
purplish tinge. The left side of his
nose was 'gouged out, while his upper
lip was swollen to abnormal proper
tions.
Looked for Trouble
Bryan and Pinneo came into the sa-
loon about midnight The two river
men were there drinking quietly and
there had been no previous disturb
ance. Bryan, it appears, began look
and defied any and all corners. He
continued this performance until
Smith finally stepped up and the two
became involved in heated fstic ar
gument. The bartender, Jack Stew
art, started out to put Il stop to the
struggle, when Bryan turned on him.
According to the witnesses Stewart
hit only once or twice, but his work
was very effective and in less time
than the telling the contestants were
out in the street. Information was
filed by Bryan and Pinneo against
Stewart and Smith. charging them
with assault and battery. Magistrate
Johnson found from the evidence sub
mitted that Stewart had acted only
in self-defense and was warranted in
thus maintaining order in his place
of business.

POINTS POLITICAL.

Someone ought to give the faith
full booster" bunch that it looks like
the picllings would be poor anyway
So what's the use?
That cinch that McConochie had if
he got the nomination looms up in
the dim and distant past like the
shifting shadow of the far-famed SO
cents.
Why didn't Phil Miller take the
nomination for mayor this time and
let McConochie be chief of police
once?
y vote for the democratic ticket is
a vote for progress. business activity
and municipal advancement.
The original and only George w.
McCaskrin Cts a matter Of principle
with.me1 at the Illinois theatre April
4. New gags, new music, new songs.
WitIr5S. Il. Kenworthy as city at
torney lit would not be necessary to
run up big bills for additional attor-
ney fees. He has the ability to han
die the city's legal affairs and would
give the work of the office the attcn-
ton it demands.
Why don't the 'Johnny-undcr-
cover contributor to the morning
Union apply some of his surplus en-
crgy toward the good of the order?"
The man from within the fold who
knocks in the morning Union will find
in time that chickens come home to
rooSt."
The fear based upon the reports of
the party workers from all parts of
the city that the McConochie ticket
is booked for defeat is growing
among its supporters and as result
some desperate measures are being
taken in the matter of circulating ru-
mors. One of the latest is bundle
of tommyrot to the effect that Me
Caskrin is identified with Mr.. Mauc<-
er's interests. Anyone who knows
George knows better than to take any
stock in that. George is inspired by
something very different from malice
against the republican party and
would not be likely therefore to con-
spire to its downfall. Furthermore,
George states that he would not eX-
change his prospects with anyone.
When nominated for the mayoraIty
William McConochie's only aclnowl-
edgment was his thanks to the re-
publican convention coupled with the
Al. Il. l..
"mud-slinging" from his side during
the campaign. Feeling that this sort
of thing would be a refreshing
change from the tactics that are of
ten employed in municipal campaigns,
the democrats so far have accepted
the condition and have passed in 81
lenee opportunities to tell unpleasant
truths about the other side.
In spite of the promise of the lead
er of the republican ticket the party
organ has not scrupled to resort to
the use of personalities, all distorted
and wholly or partially false respect
ing the democratic candidates. n
sample appears in today's issue of
the Union as follows:
Candidate Maucker again invaded
the bluff district Sunday afternoon,
and at various places insisted that
everybody be happy while | am
around
The insinuation that this carries is
entirely misleading. Mr.. Maucker adj
mits that he was in the bluff district,
but states in self-defense that the on
" manner in which he contributed to
anybody's Happiness" consisted in
stopping to exchange compliments
with party congregated about a
quarter" that had been opened by
the republican candidate for alder
man in the Sixth ward

THE United States bureau of

THE United States bureau of
forestry has continued this year
on a far larger scale the expert
ments in timber seasoning and
preservation for railroads which
it began last year. This summer
the work will be carried on in
many states both east and west,
and among the railroads in the
west which are interested in these
experiments is the Northern Pa
cifc. The scarcity of valuable
timbers is felt by no class of con-
sumers more keenly than by the
railroads, which use every year
ties merely to renew those worn
out and decayed. The price of
timbcrs has risen in some instan-
ces to a figure which makes their
use prohibitive; in other cases the
supply is SO nearly exhausted that
the roads have been compelled to
look about for new timbers.

How about that new depot
building Dickinson was to have
this year7 Mr.. Phelan in an open
letter, told US early last spring
that something must be done by
the citizens if we were to get this
new building, but nothing was done
not even a mass meeting held, and
the city is no nearer getting a
depot now than ten years ago.
Just so long as the people sit idly
by without taking any united &C
ton in the matter, just so long
will the railroad company attempt
to get along with the present old
buildings.
