herself in too close contact with old

So they set out over the wooded

saw them he snarled and showed two
rows Of very sharp teeth.
''I'll go in and take care of him,
said Bert. Then you can all come

show off. He hurried in the yard

proud Bert, followed by the darl

came Bruno, with Sancho capering a

stained and dirty. After hearing the
whole story and seeing Jlne's wound

Then Bruno danced to the music

and passed his little cap for contribu

falling outside realized what tney had

FINED FOR
HOPE AFFRAY.
Wood Escapes With Light Fine While the Governor is Found Guilty of Aggravated
 Assault.

Hope, Jan. 16. In Mayor J. H. Blacks court the trial of Gov. Davis and Judge Carroll b. Wood, growing out of the per- sonal encounter during the joint discussion in the opera house here on December IS last, termi- hated at 5:30 this afternoon.
 Mayor Black assessed a fine of $10 against each of the defend ants for breach of the peace. In addition, he fined Gov. Davis $50 for aggravated assault. Each of the defendants, by their attor- neys, filed notice of an appeal to the circuit court.
 The testimony of twenty-one witnesses was taken before Mayor Black. A preponderance of the evidence pointed to the conclusion that Gov. Davis was the aggressor in the trouble, and the fact that the governor was fined for aggravated assault shows that the court believed from the testimony that the clash was precipitated by the governor.
 Judge Wood was again present today, but Gov. Davis did not ap- pear, not having come to Hope for the trial. When all the evi- dence was in Hon. w. M. Green addressed the court in behalf of Judge Wood, and was followed by Judge James B. Wood of Hot Springs, also on the part of Judge Carroll D. Wood. The argument lwas closed by Hon. c. c. Hamby of Prescott, who appeared as the Attorney for Gov. Davis. Mayor wdack at once announced his de- spSlon in the two cases, and after Rhe notice of appeal had been given the proceedings were closed.
 Each side had waived the right of trial by jury, agreeing to sub init the case on the evidence ad- duced. There was practically nothing new developed in the sworn statements of the witness es, their testimony being sub stantially in line with that pulp lished in the form of afidavits soon after the fight.
 Quietude prevailed in the court room today, and Mayor Black did not deem it necessary to re- new his order of yesterday re- quiring those in the room to be searched.

THE HOOSIER GIRL.

When a person or a number ot persons who try to do right, let their manners be ever so ludic- rous, their dialect ever so un- couth, in the end they will i'm press the people or community in which they live with the sin cerity of their motives. In the end they will win out. Just the simple, plain and unvarnished story of the struggle for success of such people is often a pathetic as we'll as humorous recital.
 The above is probably an hon. est criticism of 'The Hoosier Girl" for the reason that the drama is true blending of the funny and serious, just as repre- sented by the lives of some per sons. The story is dramatic for the reason that it is filled with stage surprises, at the same time it is a simple story because it deals with only simple people. While not claiming to be a home spun story it is at the same time true to life.

DOMESTIC.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The Chicago fire
of 1871, the greatest so far as property
loss goes in the history of the coun-
try, caused the death of five hundred
persons. Wednesdays fire, continuing
for only short time and causing a
property damage of less than one-hun-
dredth OF the great fire of 1871, cost
more than half again as many lives.
The fire of 1871 started at midnight
Oct 8, in Taylor street, and spread
over the city, famed by high winds.
That "Mother O'Leary's' COW kick d
a lamp and started the blaze is the
traditional story. When the last spark
had died away weeks later it had
caused property damage of $500, 000, q.
600. The scenes attending the fire
were frightful. Pillagers rihed houses
and robbed homeless families Most
of the deaths were caused by exposure
and starvation.
The area destroyed was one mile long
and four miles broad Not theatre,
newspaper office, or public building
remained.
