come down to Towner from the Tur-

from black leg and buried the car

must have scented the critter, for
they went directly to the grave, dug
up the carcass and took it along.
They cured it and had many a deli

A peculiar thing happened up on the
big water tower, the other morning
1t seems that the ice had fallen off
around the sides of the tank until
there was a foot or so of ice on top
OF the water The tank was pumped
full Of water which raised the ice
above the edge, carrying the roof off
the tank with it. Frank Winslow and
Harry Hall noticed it first, and they
sure thought they had 'em. The trap
door which opens up at the end OF
the ladder was half way round on the
other side. How on earth it got
there, they couldn't imagine-until
Winslow went up and caught hold OF
the edge of the roof-when low and
behold-it swung easily pack to place.
Mr.. Hall let sufficient water out OF
the tank so that it settled down in
it's normal position and it was all

BIG FIGHT AT
MT. PLEASANT
N. E. STEPHENS AND GEO. NicoL-
SON COME TO sLoWs-soTH
MEN ARRESTED.

Mt. Pleasant, Nov. 9.-N. E.
Stephens, of the former firm of Day,
Stephens 81 Day, and George Nichol-
SON. Of this city, were both arrested
Saturday afternoon as result of q
fight between the two men, which
took place in the street Just north OF
the court house.
Stephens was arrested for carrying
concealed weapons Ca revolver), and
was given time to enter. his plea. His
hearing will probably not be held be-
fore some time next week.
Nicholson was arrested for disturb
ing the peace and plead guilty before
Mayor Dugdale, paying fine of 1885.
The fight was witnessed by several
of the people at the court house, and
for time 1t looked as though one, or
both of the angered men would be Sc
rlously hurt. For several weeks an
enmity has existed between them as
a result of certain domestic troubles,
resulting in the divorce of Mr.. Mich
olson from his wife, and the fight Sat
urday afternoon was brought on by
these preceding events.
Whether or not Nicholson knew that
Stephens was coming along East
Washington street just at this particu
lar time is not known, but just as the
latter passed the alley east of A.
M. Van Aliens law office, he was at
tackled by Nicholson. and ran out in
the middle Of the street. There he
was knocked down and badly beaten.
M. Hamilton, janitor of the court
house, and j. B. Haines, of Tren-
ton, were just starting out of the court
house door to measure up some wood
which the latter had brought in, when
they were attracted by a noise and
saw the two men graphing with each
other in the road
They went to them and finally got
them separated, when Mr.. Stephens
pulled revolver out of his pocket,
and was in the act of pulling the trig-
ger on Nicholson when Mr. Hamilton
grabbed his hand, and at great risk to
himself prevented what might have
been tragedy. In the meantime Mich
olson had taken shelter behind a
wagon, standing near the alley en-
trance, thinking that Stephens was
going to shoot
Finally Nicholson started up the al
ley north and Stephens east on Wash
ington street. AS the latter passed the
alley, however and saw Nicholson he
pulled the trigger of his revolver.
Fortunately the shot missed him. or
Nicholson would probably have been
a dead man.
Stephens was badly cut and bruised
on the face and bled profusely. Mich
olson got off more lucky, but had a
narrow escape from being shot.
