City
SIR


took place between Mr.. Mcdonald
and myself. If there is anyone
sufficiently interested they can
read for themselves
On Saturday at noon when L
was fixing the grade for the
Hanson building, Mcdonald who
is one of the City Alderman came
up to me and made very insolent
remarks about me and the levels.
This gentleman has the reputa-
ton of being a great fighter in
crowded street, where there is
little fear of a finished fight, he
grabbed me una wares and man
aged to get me down and sit on
me but was unable even then to
administer any punishment until
the arrival of Officer Brubak-
er who pushed aside gentleman
who was holding Mcdonald and
after getting hold of my hands
there was business doing,
After l was released Brubaker
threatened my arrest and assist
ed Mcdonald in his escape, al
though up to that time l had no
opportunity to do anything,
About an hour afterwards
| went up town to interview this
great prize fighter, l was sur
rounded by officers of the law,
taken before a Justice of the
Peace and an attempt was made
to make me give a peace bond,
yet only few weeks ago when a
really dangerous man was at
large and flourishing his pistol in
the face of peaceable people, these
same officers sunk into their
boots at the mere mention of his
name,

Mr.. J. NJ. MCDONALD,
City,
NV Dear SIR
After the unpleasant incident
which occurred this morning,
there is not room for I and you
to remain here, therefore l
will be pleased if you will ar
range meeting, with or without
friends present, to decide which
had best go.
You are the first man who ever
was cowardly enough to hit me
when / was down.
Yours Very Truly.
SYDNEY CLARE.
Fitzgerald, Ga, Nov. 1st, 1908.
Mr.. J. M. MCDONALD,
City,
NY DEAR S1R:-
1t is matter of regret that
you should have treated my let
ter of yesterdays date with such
scant courtesy, still, knowing as
l do your lack of courage, your
disregard for honor, l should not
feel surprised.
| must insist, however, that you
meet me so that we may discuss,
and if possible arrive at some So
luton, by which yourgrossinsult
may be for ever blotted out.
l would much prefer for YOU
and l to talk over our trouble,
without the painful necessity of
dragging in our friends; it makes
it doubly hard for me to refuse
friend anything; you occupied
this position long enough with
me to know this.
Very Faithfully Yours,
SYDNEY CLARE.
SYDNEY CLARE,
City,
There is nothing for me to
discuss with you. However, l
will meet you at Polhill's drug
store at $50 this a, M,

of that. The old story has lost none
OF its charm and it makes every one
feel better for having seen it.

strong sermon upon the topic, :" The

his advice-and his voice was earnest
when he said, You ought to cut it
out" Then he wondered why smile
had illuminated his audience.

beginning July 1st the Southern rail

Grating their Mobile and Ohio passen-

Central Union station. 1t is said that
only the passenger rattle in connec-

Southern and Mobile and Ohio prop
erty will be affected by the new de-
parture and that at present no sever
ence OF the agreement between the
Louisville and Nashville and the

business is contemplated. The actual
entry Of the Southern. however. is con-
