| three young men residing in the
northern section of town were arrested
this afternoon on charge of disorderly
conduct. For some time past number
OF the younger element in the employ
of one of our factories have been in the
habit of insulting the teachers of the
franklin school, while the latter were
on their way to dinner each day.
Monday noon this gang was more
abusive than usual and forbearance
ceased to be a virtue. Consequently
warrants were issued.
Aug Heath, stranger, accused of
stealing a watch from the pocket of
Louis Albrecht Saturday night, was ar
raigned in court yesterday morning on
the charge of drunkenness and in
default of paying fine Of S. was
sentenced to the county Jail for five
days. Heath, after taking the watch,
later returned it. and it is not likely
that Albrecht will prosecute him on
larceny charge. The man was intoxi-
Gated at the tine and evidently took
the watch in the spirit of a joke.
Stub Heinrich and Paul Weiland,
two young men, were fined Saturday
on an assault and battery charge,
their fines and the costs amounting to
S2l.5O each. which they paid. 1t APP
pears that at very early hour in the
morning they visited one of the brewer
les. Another young man, Paul Miller,
was inside and locked them out. This
angered them and they laid in wait for
Miller and shortly after caught him and
trimmed him up" Miller caused
their arrest with results as above stated.

Carl Hummel, local painter, has
come into possession of what he con-
siders rare painting. One day re-
Gently while calling at a farmers house
he saw a picture of the crucifixion of |
Christ, which attracted his attention
A scrutiny of it disclosed the fact that |
it had been painted a century ago or
perhaps at an earlier date. He bar |
gained for and finally secured it, though |
the owners did not wish to part with it |
because it had been in the family for |
six generations The picture bears evil |
dence of having been painted by a
master hand.

ensued in one of the saloons behind |
the creek" which resulted in one of the |

occasions figured in the police court for
like otfenses, having his head cut so
that it required about dozen stitches
to close the wound This fellow was
the aggressor and was having things
pretty much his own way when two
other parties stepped in and cleaned |
OUT the house, those in the place at the
time going through windows and every
other exit to get out of the way of
chairs, bottles and beer mugs.
