The noise of the pistol shot attract

to Mercy hospital where Drs. Hopper

Indiana Harbor, Dec. 27.-~God give

AS soon as he said It. he was sorry
he had spoken. for Andy Treason who
was seated at a table drinking beer

Andy with crushing sacasm, and take

Mike one of the head with beer glass.
Joe I4apkus was of the party of
revelers at the table where the beer
was flowing. he decided that it would
be a sin and shame to keep out of
such a nice little row, so he kicked
Mike a few times, just to be good
fellow.
When Mike got over to DR.. Sauer's
Office to have his face sewed up, he was
a sight and he had made up his mind
to one thing. Namely, that he would
refrain from exchanging the greetings
of the season hereafter with his
friends, until he had determined the
