So thick and deep was the audience

North side. F'ribance and Smith could
hardly force an entrance through the
mob of 800 spectators Reaching the CEN

crowd was yelling, "Ofhcer, take Brown

Hit him once for each of us, he has no

at the Santa Fe crossing but a few
blocks from the house and John hur-
ried in that direction. 1t had not yet
started when he reached it and he
jumped onto a coal car and began
throwing off large Jumps to carry
home to keep the fire burning until
morning at any cost. The cost came.
Special officer Link saw the deed and
called John down from the car and
placed him under arrest.
He was tried this morning and fined
$5 because he pleaded guilty. His
wife was on hand and had the money
to pay the fine. Why not buy coal?
An unknown coIored man was

the Swedish club last night, beat up,
and left in a ditch. This is the second
instance of the kind and the club is
to be watched more closely. Before, it
was a strange Swede who was afraid
to tell until several days later Now
it is a colored passerby.
