Continued Indefinitely.

The case of Clarence Jackson and Neil
Williams charged with making an assault
on Michael Nolan, which was filed in the
Police Court this morning, was continued
indefinitely, to await the recovery of Nolan
Williams was arrested yesterday by Detec-
tives Hartigan and Baur after several days
search for him.
Just how the assault on Nolan was caused
is not denfiinetly known, owing to conflict
ing stories. 1t seems, however. that Jack
son and Williams had an alteration and
had started to throw stones at each other
when Nolan entered the scene. 1t is said
that he was under the influence of liquor
at the time, and was either under a wagon
on the battle ground or else staggered be-
tween the parties. He was hit by one of
the stones thrown by one of these parties,
he says. The blow was a serious one, as he
was removed to the hopsital, where 1t was
found that his skull was fractured by the
blow.

Washington Post to Erect Building Adj
joining Present Office.

The Washington Post Company has de-
cided to erect an addition to it's present
building at 1885 E street northwest, adj
joining that structure on the east, and
costing approximately $4,000. The ad-
dition practically will be a new building,
as it will face twenty feet on E street,
with depth of 40 feet, and will conform
in height. design and material to the
present home of the Post.
1t is understood this Improvement has
been under contemplation for some time,
as the building now occupied by the Post
Is too small for the proper handling of its
business. The addition will be devoted to
the needs of the establishment, but will
contain several office rooms on the E
street front. The permit for the building
issued today by Snowden Ashford.

stood that work will begin at once. APP
