Jeffery an altercation which ended In an appeal to the god of war and a gen eral mixup between the contending parties. In the progress of the melee Hlgley suddenly was seized with a reversion to nature or something that way and sank his teeth in Batman's arm. The other boy was some sur prised and shocked at this demon stration and made the welkin' so of ten spoken of by the poet, ring with his cries and appeals for help. The several youngsters who had been re fereeing the fight then Interceded and haled Hlgley off. The Batman boy's arm was so badly bitten that the services of a surgeon were re quired to dress the Injuries. This morning Batman visited Judge Arch er and filed the complaint as above set forth. This evening Judge Arch er will adjust the scale3 of justice and hear both sides of the con troversy, rendering unto Higley that which is Higley's and unto Batman, giving full and complete satisfaction for the row. Higley has been in considerable trouble at different times with different employers and with the school authorities and It Is said he has had difficulty with his step-mother at times. He worked on the Journal once but even that did net accomplish his reform, al though it is the best school in the world for making men good. Nothing further has transpired In police court In regard to the celebrat ed case of Dr. H. M. Young ex rel the Slate vs. C. Lawrence Stull. Stull is still at large and no arrest has'been made. It Is rumored that Stull contemplates proceedings against Dr. Young charging him with high crimes and misdeamors and a disregard of the proprieties himself In using language unfitting a police man and a gentleman. However this has 'not been confirmed and may be a malicious and scandalous report Inspired by the officer's ene mies. L. Stone, known all over the state as one of the popular newspaper men of his day, died at his home In this city yesterday, after an Illness that confined him to his home less than a week. For some time, In fact, ever since his wife died, he has been gradually falling and his demise has not been entirely unexpected for the last month. He left no family, only mother and a brother surviving him, both of whom live In Lincoln. His wife, who died last fall and two children, who died some yeaiB ago, are burled at Mlnden, and the body of the deceased will be Interred be side them. Stone was for several years con nected with leading Omaha and Lin Not Discouraged. Fred W. Hesse of Havelock who has been spending several days In this city making a visit with rela tives, departed vthis morning for his home. Mr. Hesse is confident of the coin papers and later conducted a ultimate victory for the striking boil- newspaper at Minden.

The Order oi the Eastern Star last) evening held a very largely attend ed meeting at their hall on Main. There were four candidates for Ini tiation into the order, viz: Mr. and Mrs. Guy McMaken, Miss Clara Wey rlch and James Mauzy. Following the Initiation a banquet was held at which a number of toasts were re sponded to. Those speaking Includ ing the four candidates mentioned above Mrs. Redfern of Lincoln and Miss Moore. A very pleasant time was had and the meeting was a most successful and entertaining one in every respect. Not Kntirely a Failure. Ceorge Kaffenberger, the well and favorably known farmer from south west of the city, came in this morn lng and was a passenger on the morning train for Omaha and South Omaha where he has business mat ters to attend to. Mr. Kaffenberger states that he is afraid that fruit suffered very severely from the late freeze and he looks for a short crop although not an entire failure. Th crops are also suffering a great deal from lack of rain and he is hopefu that a change In the weather will soon be In sight. Owing to th hard crust which covers the surfac of the ground It is difficult to har row the ground. Below this crust there Is sufficient moisture and the ground Is In good shape but a warm spring rain Is needed to start things. No Particular Loss in Either Instance. An alarm of fire yesterday after noon about four o'clock took the fire departmcut to the home of Otto Herold on Rock street, between Sixth and Seventh, wWre some trash was stored In a corner of a shed had taken fire and threatened to do some damage. Neighbors with buckets, however, had the fire out before the department arrived. The damage was nominal, although it might have been rather serious had an oil can which was standing In the midst of the blaze blown up. The can had several gallons of oil In It and when the bovs reached the scene It was still quite warm and well smoked up. If it had gotten a little warmer It doubtless would nave exploded and blown the blazing oil over the shed leading to its destruction and possibly that of several adjacent barns and outbuildings. The origin of the fire Is a mystery although It probably originated from a small trash lire which had been burning out in tho backyard within a few feet of where the flames started in the shed. Small children playing In the neighborhood have also been sug gested as possible originators of the blaze having been possibly playing with matches. The tart was a long time getting to the tire owing to the steep climb up Sixth street hill coup led with a small number of meii'on the cart. Thcro were a large number of small boys pulling but the firemen were woefully shy in numbers. The department In 'the morning had been called to the hill overlook ing the Burlington yards whore' a brush fire had been burning for a short time. The fire spread along the face'offtthe bluff until it threat ened some outbuildings perched on the top when the owners of the prop erty became alarmed and Sent In a call for the department. The boys responded and played several streams upon the fire for a few moments when the danger was removed. As a mat ter of fact, a few men with shovels could have put this fire out without much trouble or time and It seems like a waste of time to call the de partment for such trlval matters. For the beauty of the city, It would be Well had the ancient structures been destroyed as they spoil a particularly pretty part of the scenery.
