Cutting screpe on San Bruno Road

Last night George Wichmann, residing
at 259 Eleventh street. was arrested and
charged with assault with intent to
commit murder. The trouble that brought
Wichmann within the clutches of the law
grew out Of a friendly act on his part
The young man was driving along the
San Bruno road when he found a 90
cart stuck in rut. The horse could not
move it. In the cart was James Hardy
of ass Eighth street. Young Wichmann
extricated the vehicle by means of his
horse, when some bitter remarks passed
between the two men.
The result was that they engaged in a
fight in which Hardy received several
jabs of knife on the head. The wounds
were treated at the City and County Hos
pital by DR.. McElroy, after which both
men were taken to the Seventeenth-street
station None of the knife wounds are
of a serious character, all of them being
superficial.

American colony at Washington
Hall. Union and Stockton streets, by a
reception and a grand ball, the proceeds
being in aid of the free Italian school
maintained by the colony.

with American and Italian colors, and a
military band discoursed national and
popular airs of the two countries pre-
vious to the exercises, which were lis
tened to by a large audience.

ony.

of $4,000 per year, for rental. 1t is
stated that while they win breakfast
in their rooms they will dine in the

people, which is. indeed, magnani-
nous concession. They will have,
however. special table and waiter
and fresh flowers for decorations for
each meal. Special servants will also
attend them. but Will be soberly
dressed in brown clawhammer coats
with brass buttons. This mingling

amounts almost to Summing, would

\ writer in one of the city papers
sums up the situation regarding a
dark horse for governor in the follow

that whatever may be the present
intentions of Warner, Fifer or Rose,
or of any other gentleman whose
name has found place in the list of
possibilities, the chances of success
for any of them are comparatively
small if they remain absolutely in the
background in the expectation that
the exalted office of governor. after
successfully eluding those who want
it. will seek them out and thrust it
self upon them. 1t is curious fact
that such a thing as IL dark horse"
nomination for governor is unknown
in the history of the republican party
of Illinois-unless rather improperly,
the nomination of Gen. John NJ. Pal
mer at Peoria in 1865 be regarded in
that light. In that case Palmer was
not candidate and telegraphed a
friend pIeaGingly: DO not permit
me TO be nominated; [ cannot ac-
