Among the guests are few sena.

was knocked down, given a terrible
beating and robbed of $21 and some
small change by two holdups at l
o'clock this tThursday) morning.
McNabb was going home from an
entertainment and was on one of the
principal streets but two blocks from
the business center, when man
stepped from behind a tree and felled
him to the ground with blow from
some missile. He was stunned, but
quickly recovered and grappled with
his assailant and was getting the best
of 1t when another man came up and
Joined in the fight. McNabb. realizing
that he would be overpowered, began
to yell for help, at which the holdup
filled his mouth with sand, nearly
choked him to death and finally bound
his head with his coat. One of his as
sailants relieved him of his money and
then both ran.
McNabb tried to follow them. but
was too weak and they made their es-
cape. He reported the affair to the
police, with description of the men,
The fight took place almost under an
electric light and McNabb says he saw
his assailants clearly and knows them
by sight. On the strength of his de-
scription. Sim McCool, a young man
OF this city, was arrested several hours
later and at noon to-day Arthur Bird
sail, another local man. was taken into
custody. McNabb says they are the
men.

nature to the municipal ownership
measure recently passed by the City
Council, and am resting content in the
belief that my plans for the municipal
ization Of the Chicago street car lines
will be realized before my present term
OF Office Is ended
Mayor Dunno made the foregoing
announcement. He said he had signed
the so-called s75.O0o,000 ordinance
while lying i'll at his home, in the be-
lief that 1t was necessary for him to
sign the ordinance within ten days
from date of passage, in order that
they might become legal under the
provisions Of the city charter.
That legal obstacles will be placed
in the way of the consuinmation of his
plans is anticipated by Mayor Dunno.
II believe that right after election
there will be a natural attempt to test
the Mueller law certificates, and. in
fact, the validity of the act ITSELF" he
said. That, however. is a thing to be
desired. We wish to have it done as
quickly as possible. and | believe we
