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.

Delinquent Tax *
List Is Larjje
No rush of citizens yearning to pay
taxes has been noted by the county
treasurer's office since the publication
of the delinquent tax list, according
to clerks in that office Tuesday.
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.
