Crippled From Rheumatism.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Jimmy Ryan, who has become we'll
police station lately on account of his
joyful sprees which generally end
with a night on sheet iron bunk be-
hind bars of steel, is certainly dis
covery as far as fighting proclivities
CO. Everybody knew that he was a
great fighter because he often told of
his ability to click" his weight in
wild cats with large and
bony pair of dukes" But now he
eats 'em alive-literaly. An entirely
by the name of Leo Sieber, came
through from Sleepy Eye last even
ing, and upon asking Jimmy some
unimportant question, the little Irish
man became very much infiamed and
Leo "got it in the neck, also on
both shoulders and in the middle of
the back.
Leo Was Surprised.
Leo says that he knows not why
Jimmy should display such a perfect
ly terrible temper, but says that the
first thing he knew a couple of jim
my's friends were attempting to pum-
mel his face to pulp, and the irate
little son of Ould Erin was upon his
back initiating the tactics of Ben
gal tiger. He threw the coat over
the German boys head, and sunk an
excellent set of teeth in Mr.. Sieber's
neck, and after gouging out a chunk
big enough so that the taste of blood
made him still more feroeious, jim
my tried it again on the shoulder.
Touqhs Made Get Away.
By the time he had taken three or
four digs in the back of Mr.. Sieber
that gentleman had freed himself by
getting out Of his coat All this oc.
Cured at the Union station about
eight O'Clock in the evening, and
when Mr.. Sieber finally freed himself
| Baggageman Samuel Robson waded

was taken to the police station and
the wounds in his back washed off
He left for Minneapolis this morn
ing. AS soon as Sergeant T. H
! Foley saw the blood on Leos back
he ordered his entire force to make
a special effort to get hold of the
man who had done the deed
What to Do With Jimmy.
If caught, he was to be arrested
put behind bars and a veterinarian
sent for to float" his teeth, or pull
them out if necessary. He also sug
gested that he be put in the same
cell with Sieber, and that gentleman
