The statue to the soldiers of the
Civil war in Lincoln park, donated by
Wilkin post, has been made an object
of attack by vandals and is partly
ruined. The rifle in the hands of the
soldier had been broken and pried off,
broken in the fountain. 1t took
great deal of force to do this, un-
doubtedly, as the statue and gun are
made of heavy metal. Street Commits
pieces and taken them to the police
station
The city ought to offer a reward for
the arrest and conviction of the party
or parties who did this contemplate
act Nobody who had any but the
very lowest instincts would have con-
ceived or carried out such an act. The
statue is memorial to the soldiers
who fought for their country and rep
resents the manhood and bravery of
the human race, or just the opposite
element from the sinking cur who, in
the darkness, injured this monument.
If it is possible thing, the miscreant
should be brought to justice, and
given the full measure of the law. The
people would like to know who he is.
This is the second time that the
statue has been disfgured by mis-
creants.

From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
near race war was precipitat-
ed last evening when two colored
men overheard white man make
disparaging remark about the
black race. The white man had
been reading of some criminal case
in the paper, and on concluding it
made the remark, probably not know
ing that the two colored men were
passing at the time. One of the
latter took the matter up and
wordy war ensued on South Front
street. Later, about midnight,
small crowd of young white men
gathered in front of hotel where
colored help is employed and hooted
and made derogatory calls for some
time. The employees were gotten
into the house, but not before one
of the crowd had hurled a chair
at one of the blacks. The chair
missed its mark and smashed
against the wall of the building.
A thing that added fuel to the
flames was report that colored
man several evenings ago drove
horse and buggy upon or up to
sidewalk and asked white young
lady that he had no acquaintance
with to ride with him.
