Dean Noyes in j Fistic Combat Over Epithet k Commissioner Objects to Be ^ing Called “Skunk” Be cause of Council Vote, *Tis Rumored. City Commissioner Dean Noyes Tuesday admitted knocking a man down with his fist on the street in front of the Food center, 1914 Far nam street. Tuesday morning he was nursing a cut and swollen hand in the coun cil chamber. The argument is alleged to have been over Noyes’ action in voting to remove Commisaloner Dan Butler from the police department. Noyes declined to comment on the rumor. When Noyes dropped in at the Baseball Headquarters, patrons in the store told him that the man. whose name Mr. Noyes declined to reveal, was looking for him. ’’He said you were a skunk.” some one vouchsafed. About Face! Noyes faced about. "Ho ain't lookin’ for me any more than I'm lookin’ for him," quoth the commissioner, or words to that effect and strode out wrathfully. In front of the Food center he met the man. "Did you call me a skunk?" -e queried. "I did." Wham! When the dust cleared away Noyes was nursing his injured hand; his opponent was sprawling on the pave ment, and the contents of a fruit stand in front of the Food center were scattered to the four winds. "Yes, I had a flgnt, but it's all set tled now," Noyes admitted this morn ing. “And, anyhow, it’s nobody's busi ness. It resulted in a thorough un derstanding." And he tentatively licked a gash in his right knuckles. ^Murder Feared on Honeymoon J >0 Word Received From Wisconsin Couple in Five Weeks. By Associnted Press. Cambria, Wis., Oct, 23.—Cambria, ttaid, quiet Wisconsin dairy town, bas provided the police of two states with a mystery that equals any disap pearance of humans in fiction. _ Seven weeks ago Abel Jones mar tied the daughter of A. A. Kuehn, local general storekeeper. Two days later they left on a honeymoon trip in an automobile. Iu the last five weeks no word has been received from the young people. Investigation made the mystery only more baffling. Seldom have the police been confronted with a case that lacks clues as this one. The last cards and letters received here by Mr. Kuehn told of their jour neying through the state, of their crossing into upper Michigan, and of Jlmir arrival at Crystal Kajjs. I^®^a,’earing foul play, Mr. Kuehn left for the north in his automobile, and personally scoured the wooded dis tret and the small towns along the woods, but found no trace of the couple. Chief of Police Martin of Cambria and Mr. Kuehn last night said they feared the couple may have been murdered. The bride and groom were well known in this community and had no enemies so far as known. Both of the young people grew up in Cam bria and were "sweethearts" since school days, their wedding being the culmination of a long romance.

The office force has been working nights for' about two weeks, but it hes not been at the task of taking in taxpayers’ money. Twenty of the 42 clerks In the office are on duty every night writing out the fiO.OOO tax no tices which must be copied and mailed to taxpayers before-November 1. Since the publication for two suc cessive weeks of the list of property liable to be sold for taxes beginning the /first Monday In November, a few property owner* have paid up. Most persons, says the clerks In the office, wait until this years taxes fall due on November 1 and then pay both together, a procedure which makes for long, slow-moving lines and great complications during the first week in November.
