Considerable commotion was caused in Clare Monday evening by a
brief but forcible fistic encounter between a couple of our citizens. One
of them had to wear beef steak on
his eye for a day or two afterwards
but he has the comforting reflection
that he nearly broke his own hand

trouble grew out of nothing and it
may take a law suit to find out who
was at fault in the matter.
"Where is my boy to-night," is a

A man who lives down the track
got s& full of budge Monday afternoon that the sidewalk was too nar-
raw for him to walk upon and then
started for homo with a basketful of
groceries. Staggering along he
scattered his packages by the way
and was at a loss to know when lie
sobered up a little whether he had
collided with a train or had been
waylaid and robbed. Wc understand that his latest explanation of
the affair is that two men attacked
him demanding money, and then
struck him a stunning blow over the
head. It may bo however that a
fall against the rail made the cut on
his head.
