pastor. Rev. John Henry Reed. was
the recipient OF black hand letters,
which warned him Of the direful con-
sequences that awaited him in the
event Of his undertaking to again en-
ter the church building after he had
been deposed by a portion OF his
former loyal congregation, has as
stunned almost its former natural
status.
After Pastor Reed received his
threatening epistle, adroned with
cross--bones and all the other forebod-
ing characteristics Of determination
10 execute the threat, the two wings
Of the congregation cla4hed in tho
church yard of the building n few days
ago. This came about from the deter
mination OF the element favoring
Reeds continuance as pastor TO have
a conference with those opposed TO
him. Flaming posters, gotten out by
Reeds adherents advertised the time
when they would meet at the church
building and confer with the other
wing upon the advisability OF having
Reed remain as the head OF the con-
gregation. To counter this apparent
Intention Of having the pastor to re-
main in charge of the divided con-
gregation, which his opponents con-
strued as their desire for conference,
Reeds gym pathizers were met at the
church by those who were opposed to
him. Here the clash came and re-
suited in warrants being sworn out for

hailed before Mayor Hoffman, who
imposed a nominal fine in each case.
Cooler heads IN the two elements that
met at the church door prevented the

TRIES TO SWIM AND
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Selling a boat as it was showed to
him by a companion, after he had
come up a second time, Yngve Carl
son of this city was saved from drown
ing in the Mississippi river at the
foot of Forty-eighth street this morn
ing.
Clifford Wisher was the hero He,
with Carlson and a couple of other
lads. went for an early morning swim
in the river Though he knows little
about swimming, Carlson took
chance and dived off a big rock into
deep water. He fought frantically to
get back to the shallow water, but his
attempt was futile. He disappeared
twice.
Realizing the danger of the youth,
Wisher grabbed a boat which was tied
nearby and showed it out to Carlson
The act was well timed, for the drown
ing lad succeeded in getting a grip
on the boat and was brought to shore.
He had the presence of mind to keep
his mouth closed when he went down
the second time, but because he fear
ed to shout his companions were not
aware that he was in danger until
they saw the frightened look on his
face when he came up later.

Goar VS.. Wilson, for third round.

Cornelius VS.. Wilson, for semi finals.
Ainsworth VS.. winner Of Johnson

Ainsworth is generally "doped' to
