Tomorrow,

For some time there has been
trouble brewing in the "tented city"
back of the park ground. Last week
some of the women became involved
in a quarrel and it is said one severe
ly punished another. The superin-
tendent of the park was called in and
eDdeavored to pacify the "disoon-
tented city" but his efforts seemed to
have been fruitless, for today a war
rant was served upon Mrs. d. jamie
son charging her with battery. The
complaint was sworn to by Lottie
Bisseil.
The case will have an airing to-
morrow before Justice A. V. Cham
berlin.
1t is claimed the whole neighbor
hood will be mixed up in the quarrel.

Korea, withdrew one Of the machine

the situation as being now we'll in

The Korean troops we're recently
bsrangued by civilian agitators who
take up their stand at the entrance
to the barracks. The Koreans possess

only 1900 troops in Seoul, has been
unable to demand the surrendet.
