taken considerable time to prepare
it but the result is very pleasing to those
who attend the fair. The Boston Store
also makes a creditable display of
dry goods. As they m-ver do
things by halves their showing must
necessarily be fine. Fancy articles at
booths attended by fair damsels add to
the pleasures to be enjoyed by the ladies.
Near the entrance is an apartment where
supper can be procured for the low price

Quite a scene was enacted on River’
street Saturday night. Daniel McCann,
who lives on that street,has kept a board-
ing house, and the only boarder he has
had was Barney Hendrick, who for some
time has found greater favor in Mrs. Mc—
Canri's eyes than Mr. McCann's. On
Saturday night the trouble culminated
when Hendrick whipped McCunn and
ran away with his wife and boy, about
four years old. McCsnn Iiud his face
badly scratched and his lip chewed off.
He told a Sentinel reporter that he
did not cure anything about the wife but
wanted to get his child back. He does
not feel down hearted about his wife,
and is glad to get rid of her.
Sent to the Reform School.
For some time there has been missed
from the Y. M. C. A. rooms money
which has been left in the pockets of
clothes which were left hanging in the
room. Last night Frederick C. McLean
was caught in the act of taking 95 cents
from the pocket of David Raymond.
He was arrested and taken before Judge
Selleck this morning and pleaded guilty
to the charge and was sent to the Reform
School until he is 21 years of age, which
will be in 5 years.
