OLNEYVILLE.

nevertheless that two OF olneyvilles best
known citizens were In the square yester-
day morning. and made the remark, For
Heavens sake don't mention IT," and
both stories are about horses. One OF the
citizens was at the last election elected TO
a prominent position and made q mem
ber OF an equally prominent committee,
and this committee. an evening or two
| ago held a meeting and the Oneyville
member drove his team down TO the city
and put II up at nearby stable.
The session was along and an interest
ing one. and when IL came to an end the
! committee adjourned to q restaurant and
had a lunch After which they like all
/ good citizens went to their homes all us
! ing the electrics for that purpose and
among them was the member who had
! driven his team down street.
The next morning he went 10 McDer-
motifs stable on Labray square and call
ed for his team, but was told that IL had
I not been In the stable all night and then
\ IL dawned upon the committee man,
/ where his team was. and whispered 10 the
man in charge. For Heavens sake don't
mention It," but the man in charge
thought It was too good TO keep.
The other chap was equally we'll known,
! but Is not a city OFFICIAL. He drove home
about $3.50 last evening and left his team
standing In front OF his home, and as
something OF Importance was called TO
his attention for the time being forgot
his horse.
He ate his supper and then sat back in
a Morris chair. read his evening paper,
and then indulged in a nap.
About IL O'Clock he and his family re-
tired for the night and an hour later,
u hal1 nd n
his head out OF a window, and asked what
was wantetd.
The caller said that there were others
besides he that would like a nights rest,
and he replied, well. I'm not stopping
them" The caller then called the man
attention to the fact that his horse was
standing In front OF his house, and then
the words For Heavens sake don't
mention it," were uttered. but like the
sta bile man, the caller thought the story
was too good to keep Both OF these men
who were so thoughtless as 10 forget
their horses are well known to each 9TH
err. and no doubt before night they will
meet
A SMALL STRIKE.
There was a small sized strike at the
Taft & weeden Mills yesterday after
noon and II may lead 10 something
more serious In a day or so. The strike
was in the spinning department and was
for an extra dollar a week, which the
spinners claim was promised to them
some time ago. Just before noon dele
gate called upon Manager Corcoran and
stated their grievance and all that Mr.
Corcoran could tell them was that he
would call upon Mr.. Wood. the treasurer
and see what he would do in the matter
and would give them an answer tomorrow
evening.
This appa rently satisfied the spinners
Co. -. tnlV A,,t kntld "
refuse TO add dollar a week TO their
! wages more trouble may follow. There
is a certain portion OF the spinners of this
mill who Get n weekly stipend while 9TH
ers are on piece work and IL fs only those
who are getting a salary are interested In
the strike. but there is no doubt by what
the Spinners union will take a hand In
! the fight and II may prove 10 be quite as
fatal to this vicinity as the Weavers
strike.
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
There was a young Hebrew In the
square last evening who acted as IL he
had murder I'm his eye for he went into a
pool room on Plainfield street opposite
I Atwood street, and raised n good-sized
row, but evidently did not find the man
he wanted. He was put out OF the pN ce,
and then went to Kaplan's pool room !
Plainheld street and started a row. and
here he pulled out a huge knife and this
Ian did not know whether the man
wanted 10 cut off a piece OF tobacco, de-
stroy the pool table or to carve him.
Some one went out after Patrolman
Bierne. and the young Hebrew learned OF
this fact. left the pool room and ran UP
Hartford avenue. The case looks like one
of spite.
