CANTERBURY’S NO DI FIGHTING IN MID-AIR. | Terrible Combat Between Workmen on a Narrow Platform One Huundred | Feet High. +00 Chieago, Ill., March 11.—Two | men were busy on Marshall, Field) & Co.’s new building this morning, | adjusting the tree derricks, and were standing on a little plattorm not more than 6 by 10 feet in size and nearly 100 feet above ground, when | suddenly one ot them rushed at_ the | other, who was kneeling, and struck him with his fist. The assailed party struggled to his | feet, seized a hammer and made a sayage blow at the other’s head, Things began to get exciting in- deed, and a large: crowd gathered and watched the battle. The man with hammer was evi- dently furious and the other very much alarmed. The latter started with his assailant, hammer in hand, after him.’ Round and round the narrow plattorm they went, pursuer occasionally reaching for the pursued with the hammer, but always missing him. At last the pursued party turned and grappled with the other, and over the edge they went, each one clinging by only one hand and _try- ing to shove his opponent off. Atter what seemed to the - people collected in the street below a strug— gle lasting half an hour, during which it seemed as if one or the other must be dashed on the heayy stones be- low, other workmen succeeded in reaching them and both were carted off to the hospital. A Disconsolate Veteran. **No, I didn’t lose that ley in the war,”’ replied a stranger vesterday, as he leaned up against the cold wall of the post office. ‘*I used to claim that my leg was shot off at the battle ot Antietam, but one day something happened to cure me of lying. Iwas stumping along the highway in Ohio, and stopped at a farm house to beg for dinner. ** ‘Where did you lose that leg?’ asked the woman. * ‘At Gettysburg.’ ** sSit down till I call my hus- band.’ ‘*He came in from the barn, and I was asked where my regiment was stationed in the battle. ‘* ‘In the cemetery,’ I replied. *©*Oh! Well, my son Bill was in the cemetery, too. I'll call him in.” **Bill soon came in,and he wanted to know what particular gravestone I took shelter behind. -I said it was a Scotch granite monument. ‘© ‘Oh,’ grunted Bill; ‘my brother Bob was behind just such a_ stone, and I'l call him in.’ ‘“*Boh came in, and he swore a mighty oath that he was there alone. He sort 0’ pre-empted that monu- ment, and remembered the inscrip- tion toa word. However, to give me the benefit of the doubt I was asked to name my company and regiment. *- ‘Company ‘B,’ Fifth Ohio,’ I promptly answered. **‘Oh! Brother Jim was in that company; I’Il call him in.’ “Jim came in, took a square look at me and remarked: ‘“* ‘Stranger, our regiment wasn’t within two hundred miles ot Gettys- burg during the war’ ** sT said Twenty-fifth! Of course the Fifth wasn’t there.’ “Oh! I'll call Aaron; he was fitth.’ ‘“‘Aaron came in, called me a wooden-legged har, and I was pitched over the fence into the road.

Decatur, IIl.,, March .11.—Three well dressed young men, Edward Ivy and Bruce Woodward of West Liberty, Ill., and Charles McKim of Cordon, Ind., got on the westbound accomodation train on the Decatur and Evansville road this morning at Mattoon, for the purpose of stealing a ride to Decatur. They took ref- uge in a box car, which was _ closed and locked atter them by the train- men. When within ten miles ot Decatur the trio became involved in a_ fight, which ended in McKtm’s shooting Ivy in the head, back and abdomen, while Woodward, who also had a revolver, emptied the five chambers at McKim without hitting him. Nine shots were fired in the dark car, while Ivy lay upon the floor weltering in his life blood, The noise attracted the attention of the conductor, who witha U.S. deputy marshal who happened to be on board, went to the car, opened it and found McKim and Woodward in a hand to hand conflict over the body of Ivy, who was_ unconscious. The young men were brought to Decatur and placed in jail. Ivy isat the Laclede hotel and is thought to be dying this evening. Woodward, who has worked for farmers in Logan county, stated that McKim fired the first shot without provocation for the purpose of rob- bing his partner Ivy, and that he (Woodward) did not shoot until he thought McKim intended to kill. There were but $3.40 in the party, about equally divided. McKim alleges tnat his compan- ions had made it up to rob him of his watch and money. Important.
