FIGrtT ONE LIVELY HOUND
Merchant and Teamster Mix but
Break Nothing but Glass
A little brief excitement was offered
to people along'the lower end of Fourth
avenue last Tuesday afternoon by a
scrap between S. L.. Caldwell, 'tlie
clothing merchant, and George Salami,
a local draymafi. When the contest
was sloped at the end of the first
round it was discovered that the
most seriohs damage was the smashing
of a glass in the front of Caldwell's
store and another in the front of Cor
lew,s store.
The trouble' was caused by Salami’s
backing his Wagon over the water pipe
in front of Caldwell’s store and break
ing the pipe and the side walk. This
happened several days previously.
Yesterday evening as Salami passed
the store Caldwell inquired when ho
intended to repair the damago done.
The debate soon merged into a scrap.
There was no time to agree on articles
or a purse, and the interested crowd
which gathord in a hurry took upon
Us members jointly the functions of
referee, timekeepers, bottlcholdcrs
and ixilice. When the participants got
tangled up in what looked like an end
less clinch the crowd stopped the con
test and called it a draw, with all bets
off.
Engine No. 3 Running
Engine No. .3 of the Alaska Central,
which came up on the Edith, has been
fully equipped and tested and is now
running on the road when its services
are needed. It is much larger than
either of the other locomotives on the
road.
EDITH OFFICERS EilSAGREE
First Officer H.M. Speyer and Purser
T.Banbury of the steamship Edith had
a disagreement Wednesday on the
ship’s deck over some phase of the
financial question, which in some form
or other is said to bo the root of all
evil. To emphasize liis argument
Speyer landed op the front of Banbury’s
bead and the two went over on the
deck together When the discussion
was ended Banbury sworo to a com
plaint before Commissioner Hildreth,
charging Speyer with assault and bat
tery. The commissioner found Speyer
guilty, and fined him *5 and costs, the
lrtier amounting to $16.10.
