sensation that could not be investi-
gated owing to the late hour at
which the information was received.

Golf farm picking berries shortly
after noon today and discovered in
a clunip of bliers and weeds a nu1n-
Der of articles of mems wearing aP-
parel. sess 4
Parrill Immediately notified a
neighbor, John Lewis, who came tn
the city. He went to the Office of
Squire Riley and reported what had
been found and asked that an of
tfcer be sent over to make an inves-
tigation. No officer connected with
the Riley court could be found at
that time
Mr.. Lewis seemed to think that
a little investigation would reveal
some desperate crime. There is no.
telephone connection obtainable
with points near the scene of the
finding. An officer was sent over
late in the evening.

A fight occurred in this city last
evening that has aroused much mer-
riment to many persons. An em-
ployer and one of his men became
engaged in an alteration. Both
grew pretty warm. The employG
was big huI5y fellow and the boss
was afraid of his. But things
came to such pass that something
had to be done so the boss raped
his man on the jaw and foored him.
Knowing that things would go hard
with him if he let the other fellow
up he proceeded to give him stiff
beating. The man shows many
marks of the conflict today.

ands Of copies OF the Viechs, Black
Hundred paper, containing the most
provocative articles against the Jews

An editorial In the paper glorifes
the dispersal Of the revolutionary as

"The prayers of the people have at
last found an echo in the heart of the
Emperor. Arise, orthodox Russians.
Take care that the next Parliament is
not an assembly Of Jews and revolu-
tionists, but state institution, willing
to work in harmony with the autocratic
Emperor and the fundamental laws.

was dispersed on the anniversary Of
Our Lady of Kazan, the protectoress
Of Holy Russia. True Russians will now
understand that the only object Of Par

know how to suppress the Jews and

of that section, after the Council was
notified, as to the exact conditions, to
have the matter remedied.

perton held their mass meeting to con-
slider the question of the water short
age The Tribune, in behalf of the City
Council, and Chairman Mulvey of the
that the conditions would be investl-
gated and corrected at once. That

We nave bully head of water up this
way and I consider that The Tribune,

entitled to credit for their speedy re-
lief Of the situation. -

very next day. We are getting along
fairly we'll now. For all | know, the
water supply at Popperton is almost as
good as any other place in the city

ditions are so greatly improved that all
are satisfied. Two years ago we might
have complained at the force of water
we sometimes have now for sprinkhng
