Things were pretty lively In Eneel

about ten o'clock. Nobody knows OF
seems to know just how it happened
but there was a fight. 1t is said that
two nationalities were mixed up in it
considerably and the song. 1T takes

ed upside down. Be that as it NAV, a
party of young fellows whose ances-
toS at one time owned unwilling al
legiance to the house of Romanoff
came into the saloon in question along
IN the evening and at a given signal
did there and then attack a number
OF other young fellows whom thew
found there with all manner and all
sorts of weapons. chiefly, however.
stove pokers, bricks, pitchers, glasses
and fists. The saloon was crowded At
the time and it appears that pretty
nearly everyone had e hand. a foot ar
a club in the mix-up. There was a
sound of reveIry by night" such as
passers by had not heard in many a
day. Finally Dave Ryan came in and
cleared them out.
The saloon was closed. for the resi-
Of the evening.

CO. MUTUAL
a Farmers Mutual Fire lnSur-
ance for this County is Be-
ing Organized
A Cheap and Effective lnsur,
anCe of Farm Buildings
and Live Stock Against
Fire and Lightning

The time has come when a mutua
company should be organized by the
farmers of Brown county. More than
half the farm buildings in the county
are without fire and lightning protec.
ton. The reason for this condition
of affairs is that insurance in reliable
companies has been too high.
a number OF mutual companies are
doing business in the state and they
show a remarkable record for econo-
my in management. The Lincoln
county mutual has made a showing
that should encourage the formation
of many like companies in the state.
The Canton Leader has this TO say
OF this company In a recent issue:
The first annual meeting of the com
pany was held April 2S, 1890. Few
then believed that their little organ.
lzatlon would reach its present i'm.
p%ortance, but good management and
rlgld economy by faithful officers has
brought it to the first rank of mutual
companies of the state. The amount
OF insurance carried by the company
IS 0 s2,U32,163.H, and the insured
are getting fire and lightning protec.
tlon TOR practically nothing. There
has been a loss assessment Of bpt
| mill since 1900. That was in 1903
anu ON! SIX assessments in fifteen
years, a remarkable record. The az.
pense of maintaining the COMPANY has
oeen provided by a three mill nra.
MUM on new insurance"
the annual report of the Lincoln
county company for the year ending
december 81 shows that the amonn,
received for premiums on Insurance
was sl26l.1o and that the losses Maid
amounted TO SHIP. Insurance -
n old members was without, cost for
ene year as no assessment was mad.

tionMay Grow Out of the
Affair

Tuesday night at about half pas
eleven Martin kuehnle was passin,
the Racket store on his way home
when he heard sounds of fighting
punctuated by such cries as help.
:'1ll kill you" murder" etc. and he
at once called for the police as loudly
as he could and. as his cries were not
heard. began to look for someone. He
soon found Chief Zirbes and told him
of it. Zirbes was with Harry Head at
the time and ordered him to accom-
pany him and they went up stairs
above the Racket store, where the
trouble was. to investigate. They
were no soone inside the door than
they were assaulted by three men and
two women and before they knew it
were downed. The women then blew
GU the lights and q general scuthe
ensued in which nearly all got some
pretty rough treatment. Harry Head
will be laid up for some days. It re-
suited in the three men and the two
women being arrested finally and
locked up.
The entire party was taken into
police conrt Wednesday afternoon and
srraigned on charges of delaying and
obstructing an officer in the lawful
discharge of his duty. The complaints
recite that certain persons made loud
snd boisterous noises. disturbing the
public peace and exciting public
alarm. constituting an unlawful as
sembly.
Justice Jones bound the party, who
gave their names as Bob Collier, Chas.
Silk, William Black, Julia Hazard and
Emma Halbert, over under bonds un-
til the preliminary examination could
be held. The only one that put up
the cash and secured her liberty was
julia Hazard. The preliminary ex-
animation will be held Friday morn

be present to see to it.
Two provisions of the statute laws
OF the state which apply to a case of
this sort will be of interest. Section

provides that if an officer has notice

IT was announced at the local Of

Company yesterday that the steam-
ships which will be put on the new
line between this Fort and Antwerp
in December will be among the larg.
est transatlantic freighters plying to

AS yet nothing definite has been de.
cidod about the ships which will be
chartered for the trade or how many
ships Will be employed, but it is re-
ported that three or four vessels will
be run on the line. 1t has also been
learned that the line will he per-
manent one and it will greatly in
crease the export and import business
al this port.
Should the trade justify it the Uni

The line is not yet assured.
The Holand-America line will put
