A DRUNKEN SAILORS ACTION
HE CREATED EXCITEMENT
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Started Out to Have a Good Old
Time But Imbibes To Too
Great An Extent.

All kinds of excitement was created
on Main street Saturday night by a
seaman named Koppen, attached to
the U. 5. 5. Arkansas. AS the result
of the actions of the sailor consider
able property damage was done. sew
real persons received bad scars and the
sailor was lodged in Jail.
Koppen and another sailor started
out in the early evening to celebrate
the coming holidays by imbibing rath-
er freely of the original blue barrel,
which is guaranteed to cause more
trouble than a barrel of Indians. In
front of the store of Frank A. Munroe
they engaged in an alteration, the
cause of which neither they or any
one else was abe TO explain. Bystand-
ers endeavored TO stop them, but with
out avail. During the melee Miss
Sadie Ihrie, one of the clerks in the
store, came TO the door with a number
of others. Koppen turned to her and
reaching out his coat, asked her to
hold it for him. This she refused to
do and entered the store.
Enraged at the young lady. Koppen
dashed into the store in pursuit and
attempted to reach her. In doing so,
such was the unsteady condition of
his pins, that he lurched against the
counters and shelves and destroyed over
$25 worth of bric.a. brac Several
men rushed to the assistance of the
young lady and catching Koppen
hustled him out of the store. There
he stood in front of the store defying
any one to lay hands on him and
threatening to "do up" any one in
town. Patrolman Holiday appeared
on the scene at this juncture and
placed Koppen under arrest. The
sailor was still very beligerant and re-
sisted arrest. Holiday was forced to
use his club on the seaman before he
could be subdued. He was then taken
to the city lookup and lodged in a
cell. There he continued to rave for
some time, evidently on the verge of
delirum tremens
In the morning he had sobered down
to a considerable extent and denied
all knowledge of what had transpired.
He was fined $40 and costs, in default
of which he was sent to Jail. 1t is ex-
pected that charges other than that of
intoxication will be placed against
him.

chase had been made of lot on
Northwest street, ON which it was in

He stated that he had made this state
ment to a represe sentative of a local
paper, but nothing further. Personally
he did not care to discuss the matter,
as he was not at liberty TO do so. He
did say, however, that he had not
volunteered to father the very thor
ough description of the nature Of the
building and its contents as of that
matter he had no knowledge.

HIGH IN SPACE.

The conception OF the magnitude Of
the star Campus, which is regarded as
the greatest body in the universe, is
difficult indeed even when Mr.. Gore
of the Royal Astronomical society fur
nishes the sun as step by which the
Imagination may raise itself. One has
some appreciation of the size Of the
earth with its circumference Of $4,000
miles. The sun is more than million
times as large as the earth. The mass
Of Campus has been weighed astro-
nOmically and found to be one million
times greater than that Of the sun.
A new theory of the Marian Ca
nals'' is that Mars has a solid crust
and an elastic nucleus of a higher tenn
perature. The crust in cooling neces-
sarily contracted, and the pressure
upon the mass within caused assures
