Bridges on tax title. The complaint further states that Addison H Chew and Sherman Miller claim rights in the property, and Hiai Bridges, Chew and Miller removed j from the property some $90d worth of limber The land without the timber is alleged to be worth onlv $ ion. The suit seeks to foredo e on

from Roachdalo, where they had spent lhe day with Mr. and Mrs.

Wm Harrison.

IJuite a lively light occurred sbortly after C o’clock Thursday evening front of the Metz saloon on East Main Street. It is a difficult matter to get the straight of the affair, as those who could tell were so drunk they cannot, and those who were so-

ber will not tell.

It is said that a man named Rollins and another named McGurty, both residing near Reelsvllle, came to this city and got more than drunk. They wandered into the Metz saloon and showed a fighting spirit. When fin proprietor saw that they meant trouble he promptly ejected tlieni

trom the place.

What happened in front of (he place is not known, as there quite a crowd about the place.
