the President to, from time to time,
establish grazing districts from un-
reserved and unappropriated public

ton will be made the subject Of a

Unknown Miscrcants Alarmed South
Side Citizens.

Several citizens in the south part of
town were alarmed last night by
what seems to have been merely the
dsorderly conduct Of some unknown
individuals who had INDUCED too
freely in the cup that inebrlates,
At one residence, the inmates were
alarmed about some time after 10
o'clock by the loud cries of some
person who was apparently in dis
tress. A heavy object struck the
porch as If a man had fallen upon
it and the cries kept up until the
ma ofthe house went to the door.
BY that time, the miscreant, whoever
was, had succeeded in getting away
and there was no way for discovering
the cause of the connection. Sew
eral other citizens reported similar
disturbances but no one saw the par
ties responsible for the noise.
