RUN AGAIN.
At the Bagley celebration Will
Morrissey's team ran away, just as
they were crossing the railroad. Mr..

greatly disturbed Saturday over a
dispatch from Saugatuck, Mich, ap-
pearing in the Chicago Journal, to
the effect that Fred Grant, son of

the above place with some friends.
He is an art student in Chicago.
