under the operation of the Owen law found a
low defiant saloon keepers in the Ulllfikim of
the city and on the hilltops selling liquor,
but as a general thing the law was observed,

of drunken people on the streets. Out of 2,200
saloons. about fifty were reported by the
police as being open in violation of the law.

of the saloon keepers had made arrangements
to evade prosecution in the police court for
their offences by procuring their own arrest ,
before a magistrate, who by a previous agree— I

bind them over to the grand jury. Four or

city to a spot in the woods on the Milwaukee
and Northern railroad, to witness a fight be
tween Patsy McCartln and Jack Ward, two
local pugilisto, for $250 a side and 75 per cent.
of the recoipta McCurtin had the best of
the light from the beginning, and Ward was
leverely punished, lllcCartin would certainly
have won the fight but for a foul in the fifth
round, when he knocked Ward to grass, but
failed to return to his corner. The umpire
declared this a foul, and awarded the light
to Ward. The referees objected to this, and
the stakeholdas will not give up the money.
Another light will probably take place some
time this week.
