Scrap for a Kid-
There is finite a contention In the classic precinct of the east end over the possession of a child which gives promises to put to blushes the famous Hettield-McCoy feud in the south. The child in question is the little daughter of William Carter, who, some three years ago, was severed iu twain by a Monoii freight train. Soou after the death of the father the mother died and little Alice fell into the hands of her grandfather, a Mr. Reed. Shortly after the old man died leaving Alice and a daughter, Dora, homeless. Then Dora married Charlie Skagg and not wishing to be encumbered with a child gave her to Mrs. l'eter Moran, who found a home for the child iu Indianapolis. Recently the home in Indianapolis was brokeii up by the husband and wife separating ami Alice was returned to Mrs. Moran. In the meantime the friendship between Mrs. Skaggs and Mrs, Moran became somewhat strained, and out of sweet revenge Mrs. Skaggs swore she would have possession of Alice anil yesterday her intentions were put into execution. Learning that Mrs. Moran was away from home Dora went to the house aud enticed the child away. On her return Mrs. Moran became frantic and decorating herself with warpaint was soon hustling for the abode of Dora. Findiug the child in the jard at play she quickly grabbed her and started for home with Dora in hot pursuit, but the latter as a sprinter not being a success, was in the language of the poet, not in it, but stood in the street and heaped imprecations on the head of her victorious rival and loudly declared the end was not yet. Watch for another chapter, as the story writer says, iu our next.

Maxwell's Troubles.
Assessor Frank Maxwell i3 already beginning to feel the effects of the unjustness he imposed upon his deputies in the late assessment in this township. It will be remembered that the REVIEW exposed Maxwell's scheme whereby he caused his deputies to work for $1.50 per day, although the law allowed them $2 for their time, thus netting Frank 50 cents per day from each of his assistants, sixteen in number. When the time for settlement came most of them took their medicine, though it was a gall to theui. All went well until the name of Henry Miller was reached, aud right here is where hostilities began. Henry demanded his $2 per day, which was justly due him and would accept nothing loss. Brave Henry. Maxwell thought to frighten him into lino with his other subjects by the original biocks-of-five coutract, but Miller wouldn't scare and will bring suit iu the circuit court to get his money. This will be made a test case and its result will establish a precedent for future generations. We venture to say that Miller will get his $2 per day as allowed by law, Mr. Maxwell to the contrary notwithstanding
A Serious Accident.
William Harris, liviug three miles north of of the city, met with a quite a serious accident Tuesday evening. For some time past Mr. Harris has been engaged in hauling logs to the valley saw mill. To approach the saw mill one is forced to cross a small bridge over the race leading to the flouring mill, on this particular evening Harris' wagon contained an unusually heavy load aud when the team and vehicle were squarely on the bridge the structure gave way aud the whole load, team aud all, were precipitated into the race. Fortunately Harris escaped with his life, although severely bruised. The wagon was completely wrecked while oue or the horses was instantly killed and the other horribly maimed. Mr. Harris' loss will reach iu the neighborhood of $300, which the First National Bank company of this city owners of the bridge, will likely have to pay, or at least a suit for damages will be the outcome of the accideut.
