ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TWO COL
oRED RESIDENTS.
Lack of Sewerage Facilities May De-
lay Opening of Academy-Gen-
eral and Personal

An encounter between Raymond White
and James c. Orr, both colored, occurred
yesterday afternoon in colored settlement

BILE grew out of an argument over the pos
session of a cornet. Heated words were
followed by blows. Orr was assaulted by
White, who also threatened his life. White

ed to his home, 1O1S Jefferson street, and
procured rife with the intent it is said,
of evening up matters. Officer j. A. Davis
of the seventh precinct arrested White,
who came back to Orr's place for the pur-
pose of prolongng the difficulty. He was
lodged in the seventh precinct station

stricken out by the appropriations com
mttees of Congress. The citizens of this
section have taken under consideration the
ACCESSIBILITY of installing a temporary sew
erage disposal system, and the Commits

could do it, for he said he had rather
work in slaughter house in America

Il never saw dad look so sorry for 4
man as he did for Astor, and he told
him the only way was to sell out his
ranch in London and go back on an
emigrant ship, take out his first pa
pers, vote the democratic ticket and
eventually become a citizen. Astor
was thinking over the proposition, and
dad had asked him if he was not
afraid of dynamiters, when he shud-
dered and said every day he expected
to be blown sky high, and finally he
smelled something burning and said
the smell reminded him of an Ameri-
can Fourth of July.

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 10th (speciaD:-
That sure cure has been discovered for
those sciatic pains that make so many
lives miserable, is the firm opinion OF Mr.:
D. s. Colson, a well known resident Of
this place, and he does not hesitate to ,g say
that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Colson is so firm in his opin-
is that he had those terrible pains and is
cured. Speaking of the matter, he says,

when we got off the steamer and
tried to find the widow who robbed
dad of his roll of money, but never
found her, we were about the last pas
sengers to reach the train, and when
we got ready to get on we found these
English cars that open on the sides,
and they put you into box stall with
some other live stock, and lock you
in, and once in awhile a guard opens
the door to see if you are dead from
suffocation, or have been murdered by
the other passengers. Dad kicked on
going in one of the kennels the first
thing, and said he wanted a parlor
car; but the guard took dad and gave
him shove, and tossed me in on top
of dad, and two other passengers and
a woman in the compartment snick-
cred. and dad wanted to fight all of
'em except the woman.
when the door closed dad told the
guard he would walk on his neck when
the door opened, and that he was not
an entry in dog show, and he want
ed kennel all to himself, and asked
for dog biscuit. Gee, but that guard
was mad, and he gave dad look that
started the train going. l whispered
to dad to get out his revolver, because
the other passengers looked like hold
up men, and he took his revolver out
of his satchel and put it in his pistol
pocket, and looked fierce, and the
woman began to act faint, while the
passengers seemed to be preparing to

an American embezzler, and if he drew

would be dead Yankee in about four

nerve before, but he beat the band
right there. He unbuttoned his over
coat and put his finger on a grand
army button in his buttonhole, and
said:

WOMAN WAS NOT TO BLAME.
Husband Came Home Drunk and She
Killed Him In Seif-Defense.

Ukiah. Cal.-Word has been re
ceived from Casper that Mrs w. T.
Medley shot and killed her husband
with a double-barreled shotgun. II
seems that Medley had come home in
toxicated, took the gun, cooked 1t and
stood 1t in the front room, threaten
ing to kill his wife II she came near
him. He fell asleep in few minutes
and she removed the weapon. When
he awoke and missed the gun he
seized stick and started for her. Mrs
Neeley raised the gun and told him
to keep away or she would shoot AZ
the same moment the gun went OF
and Medley fell dead. The woman had
not noticed that the gun was cooked
and she also says that she had no in
tention of shooting, but only wanted
to blum her husband. A coroner's jury
brought in a verdict generating her
from all blame.
