There was quite an exciting time
on the conner of Main and Second
streets Monday evening. when a
stranger was run into a conner after
he had insulted a young lady, who
VAS on her way home. The fellow
followed her ho ne, and u mother
came out OF the house ana being
made aware o! the situation he
pav the stranger a good soafid
beating. The fellow stlrted west
on Second -treet and was over talel,
by George Patterson, who also adj
minist red a blow in passing. The
iello" took refuge in Ferris drug
store and after waitlngss a half hour
finally got away unmolcsted. He is
thought to be the same fellow who
has been making it a business of
following ladies alter dark.
\ strange coincidence happ ened
Saturday afternoon, which was re-
lated to The Republican Monday
AS the funeral procession of Miss
Goldie Stafford was crossing the Mil
waukee railroad at Sanborn street d
switch engine was doing some work
in that part of tue yards. The
engineer is reported to have attemp-
ted to break through the line, but
the men refused to yield. When the
girl students followed IA little later
the engineer started bis engine up
and to avoid a second accident they
were forced to let the engine through.
In view of the fact that Miss Stafford
was killed by a Milwaukee engine
only the day before by an engine
coming down Through the yards, 1T
would seem that another engineer
would not have attempted what he
accomplished. That kind of care
.lessness is wholly %inexcusable and
shows an utter disregard for public

his face in the cell, which was open
III the time so that he could come

practically a stranger in the city and
worked at odd jobs. HIS is the third
