Upon being rebuked by an other laborer, he challenged him to n light, but while his opponent was climb ing the bank on which ho stood, lie let a section of railroad tlo crash on the other man's head. In u minute there was an uproar, tho men's supporters dividing and pitching Into each other with murderous fury. Fists were used llrst, then stones nnd finally picks were slid off the handle and the stout handles wero ruined unon ono another's heads.

Members of Centennial Social Or ganization to Break Up for Sum mer. The members of tho Centennial So cial club, whose quarters are in the Leader building, have decided to dis band, for tho summer at least. Tho coal strike Is perhaps the most potent reason for the temporary dis organization of the club, which has been one of the most successful social organizations In the city the past fow years. The enforced idleness, by rea son of the strike, has caused so many of tho members to leave the city In the hope of bettering themselves, that tho club Is depleted to an extent that would be a strain on tho remaining members to support It as they would like. Then tho fact that during tho warmer weather there is less Interest manifested in such organizations, led to the decision to give up the present quarters until tho fall. A committee has been appointed to wind up the club's affairs and what obligations remain will be disposed of after the arrangements are completed, which will bo in a few days. WON'T REPEAL BONDS.
