A fstic encounter between two
Bloomington women caused con-
siderable excitement in the West
Grant village last Saturday. The
reason for the fight is not known but
it appears that Mrs. Kennedy, wife of
Dr. Kennedy. the veterinary surgeon,
assaulted Agnes Hope, on the Main
street in Bloomington and for some
time the spectators were amused with
hair pulling contest in which
Mrs. Kennedy came out victor. Some
time later in the day a warrant was
issued through Justice Moses of this
city and Mrs Kennedy was brought
to this city by Under Sheriff Jay
Harcleroad and Deputy Frank Calls
to answer to the charge of assault and
battery. The hearing was brief as
she pleaded guilty al d paid the fine
and costs amounting to something
over $27. 80.

Donald Robertson and his COM
pauy of players entertained a fair
sized audience at Reeds opera house
Monday evening in three act comedy
entitled "a Curious Mishap." Mr..
Robertson is a most delightful and
finished actor and is supported by a
very capable and we'll balanced COM
pany. The scene Of the play is at
The Hague and Mr.. Robertson enacts
the part of rich Merchant of Hol
land, Mr.. Philibert proud, Imperious
and yet withal kind hearted, who
objects to his daughters marriage
with handsome French officer,
mainly because Of TIC lstters poverty.
Outwitted by his clever daughter the
old gentleman is led to believe that
the officer is in love with the daugh
ter of rich broker whom he looks
down upon, and he plans to overcome
her father objection to the marriage
and later advises an elopement, him
self furnishing the money to carry out
his plan. When the news is brought
to him that he has been tricked into
aiding the marriage of his own daugh-
ter. for whom he had formed other
aspirations, his grief and anger, later
giving way to humor and reconcilia-
tion, furnished as superb piece of
acting as one could care to see.
