EARLY MORNING FIGHT.
Precipitated by Jack Lawler Ended by
K. Gibbous.
An exciting fracas occurred early this
morning on the" D. P. & A. IT. incline,
which originated, oyer a verv trifling
affair, but the result of wbicli was very
disastrous, and will probably be a lesson
to one of the participants at least.
While engaged in his duties at the
D. P. & A. N. dock about 7 o'clock,
Ralph Gibbons was" accosted by Jack
Lawler, who demanded that he be given
a saddle which was anions the other
freight there. It eeems that he had
previously aEked Mr. Allaway about it
and been referred to Eastwood, who
holds the position of wharfinger. Ralph
also told him that was not in his juris
diction, but that Eastwood would be
down shortly and he would attend to it.
Lawler used some pretty hard language
to him, but the former went on with
his work. As he was stooping over
checking a tmnk, Lawler came up and
struck him a hard blow in the eye and
6tarted to run. This was too much and
Gibbons pursued him, overtaking him
at the head of the incline, where he
proceeded ' to give him as good as be
sent, and a little better, as the origina
tor of the quarrel came out with a
fractured skull, an eye injured in such
a manner that he may loose it; a nose
badly smashed; minus a tooth and a
piece of jaw bone; and with his left side
bruised by a club, which Gibbons called
to his assistance. ' -
Marshal Lauer had the fellow taken
to the city jail and called Dr. Hollister,
who mended him as best he could, and
he is able to be around. Just as soon
as he ia in a condition be will be or
dered to leave the city, as he eeems to
have no particular reason for remaining,
having nothing to do.
Many were surprised today to learn
that the man 'is the same Johnnie Law
ler who lived here when a boy and
whose people now live in Portland and
are highly respected, his brother being
industrious and very popular as an
exemplary young man.
Mr. Gibbons' eye was pretty badly
hurt, and he was unable to be at work
today. .

WHAT THE COUNCIL DID.
Quite a Grist of Business Transacted
Last Night.
At 7:30 o'clock last night the follow
ing councilmen' were on hand at the
council chambers, prepared to transact
business for the city and were presided
over by Mayor Nolan: Counilmen
Kuck, Clough, Johns, Gunning, Butts,
Stephens and Johnston.
After the minutes bad been read and
approved, a communication from Wm.
Condon, manager of the Senfert & Con
don Telephone Company, wae submitted
to the council. It contained an offer to
exchange telephone rent in the recorder's
ofHce for the use of the lot on Third
etreet.bet ween Court and Washington.on
which is situated the work shop of the
company. The offer was accepted with
the understanding that back rent for
the same be offset in the same manner.
The telephone in the engine bouse is
already furnished gratis.
Kuck, of the finance committee, then
asked for further time in which to give
in hia report.
The council ordered that the city
treasurer deposit with the county clerk
$1000, with which to purchase county
warrants on the sinking fund, he being
authorized so to do by an ordinance
passed at the last meeting.
Gunning, chairman of the committee
on fire and water, to whom was re
ferred the matter of extending the pipe
line up First street connected with the
O. R. & N. fire pump, recommended
rather that two plugs be put in on First
street connected with ttie city water
works, one on the earner of Court and
the other at the corner where the electric
light plant is situated. The reason given
was that the former plan would incur
so much expense in the laying of pipes,
whereas sufficient pipes were already
laid for the latter plan, which was
adopted and the plugs ordered put in.
Johns, Kuck and Stephens were ap
pointed a special committee on the sewer
system of the citv.
At the last meeting the matter of the
increase in charges for rent of water for
fire protection was referred to the com
mittee on tire and water, which recom
mended that on account of the increased
supply $50 be paid instead of $32 as
formerly. The recommendation was ac
cepted, and the recorder directed to
draw a warrant fo $100 for rent for the
months of January and February.
A tcood move was that taken by the
council when it ordered the committee
on streets and public property to have
any work done neceseary in repairing
streets and roads. It is hoped they will
see fit to improve some of the roads
leading out of the city. The difficulty of
securing funds necessary for this work
will of course be the great drawback.
On motion of Johns, Ibe council di
rected that the finance committee be
authorized to employ men to collect
road tax on a certain percentage.
When the much-talked-of blanket
license ordinance came up for discdseion,
it' was read and placed on its final
...pei hq
3&Ee4,3T.s c&2 Crowe.
Opposite old stand. t
passage; but was defeated by a vote of
four to three. The objection seemed to
be that it was an unjuEt means of rais
ing revenue, and 'twere better to raise
the tax than employ it.
Council then listened to the reports of
officers. The recorder's report was in
complete, he giving as a reason that he
could not make out his report until the
treasurer's was handed in, and that he
did not receive the latter till a few
minutes before the meeting. All re
ports were then placed on file.
It was then determined that when
council adjourned they, wduld do so to
meet Tueeday evening at 7 :30 o'clock,
when a report of the sewer committee
would be received so that work along
that lice might not be retarded.
The following claims against the city

Rev. Curtis' Exhibit Appreciated. '
We clip the following from "The
Evening Hour," a paper published at
Norwalk, Conn., feeling that it will be
interesting to Mr. Curtis' many friends
here :
"A large audience gathered in the as
sembly rooms of the Central Club Tues
day afternoon to hear Rev. W. C. Curtis
epeak upon Indian Basketry and Arrow
beads, using his valuable collection in
illustration. It is probably safe to say
that there were very few who had more
than a dim and fragmentary idea as to
the exceeding beauty of this original
work of onr aborigines, but it is eqnally
safe to say that no one went away with
out having bad a very keen interest
aroused.
"Mr. Curtis spoke for a short time in
general terms of his eubject, then des
cribed some of the more curious of his
specimens. He is well equipped for this
work. He has the magnetic enthusiasm
of the collector, and an endearing sense
of humor. ,
"Eastern audiences very much need
to be instructed as to this art, and ad
miration must be aroused when such
specimens, so intelligently described.
are seen:
"The collection was tastefully displayed,-
the beautiful arrowheads, several
hundred in number, being in cases."

Oh, the Pain of
Rheumatism!
Rheumatism often causes the most in
tense suffering. Many have for yearns
vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse off than
ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease,
tnd Swiff 8 Specific is the only cure, be
cause it is the only remedy which can
reach such deep-seated diseases.
A few years ago I was taken with inflamma
tory Rheumatism, which became so intense
that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried .
several prominent physi
cians and took their treat
ment faithfully, but wasv
unable to get the slight
est relief. In f&et, my ooir
dition seemed to grow
worse, the disease spread
over my entire body, and!
from November to Marchv
I suffered agony. I tried
many patent medicines
but none relieved, me.
TJnon the advice- at a.
IWsJ? friend I decided to trcr
3. 8. 8. Before allowing me to take it, how
ever, my guardian, who was a chemist, ana
lyzed the remedy, and pronounced it free of
eitash or mercury. I felt so much better after
king two bottles, that I continued the rem
edy, and in two months I was cured completely.
The cure was permanent, for I have never since
bad a touch of Rheumatism though many
times exposed to damp and oold weather.
