FOX WAS ACCOMMODATING.
Slugs Alexander Schaefer for Friend and
is Landed in Jail on Charge of Assault,


George Fox, commonly known as
Corby Fox, was arrested Thursday by
Police Officer John Leik on a charge
of assault, and resting under this
charge he spent the night in the
county jail. The arrest of Fox came
for the sole reason that he was an &C
communicating fellow. Foxis fighter
and it is claimed that he has a pune oh
stored away in his left which would
make F>itzsimmons quail, so when it
was discovered that Fox was going to
leave town Thursday, one of his
friends sent to him and committed to
him the rather delicate duty of
punching the face of Alexander
Schaefer against whom the friend
had d grudge.
Fox accepted the charge and went
after Schaefer right. He not only
punched his face but he knocked him
through barbed wire fence just for
the sake of being accommodating
Then Fox started for his train, but
the police officer got him first. He
was brought before Justice Sturges
this morning and it is expected that
his friend will be accommodating
enough to pay his fine.

SEEKS MISSING WIFE.
George III. Vance. Of Evanston, Believes
Wife to Be Hiding In Kenosha

George III. Vance. Of Evanston, Believes
Wife to Be Hiding In Kenosha.
George H. Vance, of Evanston,
came to Kenosha Friday evening to
make an effort to find some trace of
his wife who has been missing from
Evanston since last Monday evening.
The woman left her home early in the
evening, stating that she was going
to make call on a friend, and this
was the last seen of her by her hus-
band.
Vance in speaking of the matter
Friday night said that his wife had
friends insIKenosha, and that he
thought it possible she had come to
this city. He visited the people in
question but all declared that she
had not been in Kenosha since Mon
day.
Mrs. Vance is forty-two years of
age, and comedy. Her husband seems
to think that she is suffering from
mental strain.

THE police have been doing good
work the last few days in enforcing
the bicycle ordinance, and if they
keep it up it will not be long before
the riders become impressed with the
fact that the authorities mean bust
ness, and that it will be to their inter
ests to keep off the walks altogether.
Most of the riders arrested claim that
they are not in the habit of using the
walks, and all admit that they have
no business there. Probably the great
majority of riders only use the walk at
long intervals, but if each one only
got on the walk once month there
are SO many of them that it would keep
the pedestrians lodging pretty lively.

GETS CEMETERY STRIP.
c.. x 8 M f. r. Co Gets the Right of way
Through Waukegan Cemetery.

Wednesday in the County court at
Waukegan the condemnation suit of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railroad Company VS.. the city of Wau-
kegan for%he cemetery strip was set
tied by judgment being entered
against the company for $500.
A few graves are to be moved
through the change of the company's
tracks, but this work the company is
to do itself.
The 'city made no defense in the
case as result of the council having
agreed some time ago that they would
allow the settlement to be made and
the city to turn over whatever money
would be awarded it in the condemna-
ton.
Thus, with this action, the company
acquires the right to the southwest
corner of the present cemetery, and in
all there is about quarter of an acre.

THERE is city ordinance regu1at-
ing the height of awnings, which
provides that the lowest part of said
awning shall be at least six and one
half feet above the walk. Now there
are number of awnings on Main
street that are less than six feet above
the walk, and they are responsible
for the ruin of large number of
straw and other light co1ored hats.
Some of the awnings are SO low that
they strike the hats of women who
are obliged to walk under them.
When awnings are hung so low that
they hit people who pass by them, it
may be said that they occupy the
walk, which violates another ordi-
nance. With two ordinances violated
it seems as though the authorities
might relieve the people of this nui-
sance. The police and. constab1es
have been doing good work among
the bicycles, now let them turn their
attention to the awnings on Main
street.

The traffic of the State of Washington

Alaska are of vast promise and Puget
Sound is a natural port of entry for

CHEFU, July so &c a. M. -
Refugees who have just arrived from
Port Arthur confirm previous reports
that a general assault has been begun
by the japanese on that fortress, and
they declare that the Russians are
sanguine that the Japanese could not
succeed in capturing the place, even
though they had twice as many troops
The Russians, according to the refu-
gees story, are still hopeful Of
succor from General Kuropatkin and
are unwilling to believe the reports of
his defeat at Tatchekiao.
The refugees further confirm the re-
ports that the Russian fleet is in a state
of repair, but that the fleet is unwilling
to attack that Of Admiral Toso on ac-
count Of the mines which the japanese
place nightly at the entrance to the
harbor. 1t was believed at Port Ar
thur that if the Vladivostok squadron
or reinfOrcements from General Kuro-
patkin should arrive the Russian fleet
would take the risk of going out. Am
munition is said to be growing scarce
and the large fort guns are. not often
discharged.
Attempts to manufacture ammuni-
ton in Port Arthur are reported to
have been failures. All public build
ings are being used for hospitals. The
sick and wounded are being well cared
for by volunteer nurses. The wounds
made by the Japanese rifles are dan
gerous Only when vital spots are
reached. Hundreds of badly wounded
have quickly recovered from their
wounds.
