BAD FIGHT Charles Woodward Landed in Jail Charted With Assaulting Marsh Burdg With Intent to Kill -Struck Him With Club. A fight occurred this morning in the Ellis saloon, which proved quite disastrous for both contestants. Charles Woodward, who had consumed more than his share of "fire water,” walked into the Ellis place and made a very insulting remark to Marsh Burdg, the liartender, who promptly called nim down. This so infuriated 1 Woodward that he started around the bar and struck at Burdg. The men fought from one end of the' bar to the other, at last landing in the rear room where Burdg proceeded to give Woodward a fierce licking, until bystanders interfered ' and sejiarated them- Woodward ! then grabbed a mop handle and 1 with all his force struck Brudg a savage blow ovei the head, inflicting an ugly wound. Friends interferred again and Woodward was hustled out of the saloon Both men have severe bruises and cuts which will take some time to heal. Woodward was arrested by Marshal Green and placed in jail. He will appear tomorrow mdrning te answer a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. CONDOLENCE. “In the midst of life we are in death.” This true saying has again been exemplified by the sudden departure to the celestial lodge above of Brother J. Thomas Archbold, whose death occurred on the evening of October 5. 1904. That the lodge has lost a faithful brother. the family a considerate and kind husband and father, the church a consistent member and the communitv at large a just and h norable citizen i s known of all

men. We extend the deepest sympathy to his bereaved widow and son, and profoundly mourn with them in their sorrow; “And may He who in his wisdom has seen fit to send this affliction watch over j them with a fatherly care, guide and protect thorn. and finally uinte them in that heavenly home, no more to be separated.” Friend ard , brother; we bid thee a last, long i farewell. Thou art at rest from thy [ labors; may it be in p?ace. So mote it be. His life was gentle; and the ele ments So mixed in hjm, that nature might stand up And say to all the world.—This is a man.
