chickering's that frequently come to the
local justice court many happenings
of much greater significance also come
to pass and the latest doings in Little
Italy are attributed to them.
The two fights that occurred last
night We're the direct result of a bet
of $105 which was made between Vito
Paravati and Enrico, Andrea and Polo,
whose last names are unknown. The
sheriff has their descriptions and will
probably arrest them this afternoon.
However, it seems that the bet was
made in a joke and when the former
lost he did not pay, for which he was
set upon by the other three and nearly
beaten to DEATH Paravati finally got
to his feet and rushing to his house,
about 100 yards distant, was shot in
the shoulder by One of the three. The
wound is not serious but painful. When
questioned this morning Paravati

for the trio. he charged them with as

THE PELTS FROM r. r.

Who could have been so disrespectful
of the majesty of science as to paint
glaring initials on the casks and boxes
containing the pelts sent from Africa by
the mighty hunter who is ranging the
wilds In his celebrated role of faunal
naturalist, if they have, indeed, been
added in transit? OF course, it is true
that the great majority Of these skins
and carcasses represent his proves.
While there are others in Africa shoot
ing specimens, none will be so hardy
AS to claim any large share of the
spoils or credit, and the initials that

EXCITEMENT CAUSED
BY RUNAWAY
FREE ADVICE AND CAUSTIC CON-
MENTS FROM CROWD MAKE
MUCH TROUBLE.

Those who were fortunate enough
| to be on Higgins avenue yesterday
morning were able to witness q rum
away, a fight, the pursuit, and the
interference of Il policeman all rolled
into one act. 1T was amusing.
The excitement started when Il team
Iitched TO a Woodhauler's wagon took
it into their heads to bolt which they
proceeded to act upon, their iratc
owner In pursuit. They had run q
short distance, when one Of the horses
in some manner got a forefoot over
the tongue of the wagon and became
entangled in the harness. The animal
took the count and remained on the
ground, while by this time all Of Mis-
soua that was in the business section
OF town was on the Job with adj
vice to Reuben as to how to extricate
his fiery steed from the predicanent
Reuben was dom. his level best, but
was not in the best of humor, and
was having 4 hard time trying to get
the fallen horse to its feet. Lots of
free advice was Offered by the sympa-
thizing multitude, all of WHICH some
what exasDerated the owner, and he
turned from his task long enough to
ask, "Whose horse is this, anyWay?"
This mistake in judgment cost him
what little sympathy he had had from
the crowd and the gibes flew fast
and furious, only ceasing when the
man succeeded in freeing the fallen
animal Reuben, somewhat angry be-
cause of the free advice and caustic
comments of the crowd, proceeded to
take it out on The horse by beating
the animal on the head with his whip.
Now the American public never did
and never will enjoy the sight of a
horse being beaten, and took exception
in this instance, although bur one
man, prominent educator Of the rtty,
left his place in the midst Of the in
dignant crowd and, going up to the
owner Of tile horse, ''swatted'' him
With q fine straight-arm bow. New
Reuben didn't get very good glimpse
of his assailant, that ID. ne did rot SEQ
the latter's face. But ne did see the
clothes which the educator was wear
ing and thought he rec 1gnized his man
standing on the outskirts of the crowd,
so he rushed IN to this unsuspecting
individual and cloufed him a dandy.
nhe blow was delivered from the rear,
and the victim nor knowing just what
was doing and not caring to sustains
serious injury, proceeded to beat IT,"
with Reuben at his heels. The oblig-
ing crowd gave way and let pursued
and pursuer through, with the latter
running a close second to his victim.
Reuben chased the man for a While,
but the festivities suddenly came to
an end because of the. arrival of the
majesty of the law, in the person of
a belligerent policeman, who took mat
ters in hand and ended the trouble.
