A FREE FIGHT.
Continued For Nearly
Centro Sti-eot,
nn Hour on
Ilctwecn five and six o'clock last evening
throe Lithuanians standing at tho corner of
Centre street and Plum alley shouted
Hull'!" at two Hebrews who passed them
Tho Interpretation of tho terra is "hog.'
Tho Hebrews paid no attention to tho re.
mark, but a Gorman who happened to follow
them did not tako the insult as easy when
they shouted "Hull !" at him. Words weie
cxclmugcd and tho three attacked the
German. A crowd of a hundred or more
people assembled, but no attempt was mado
to stop tho fracas. Most nf tho spectators
thought the fight was between Lithuanians
only and tho general cry was "Let them fight
It out." When it was learned, however,
that the man getting tho worst of the
battle was a German putting up a fight
against three Lithuanians the cry changed to
ono of fair play. Tho German was extri
cated from his uncomfortable position and
ono of tho spectators said to him, "Now
pitch into them, and we'll seo fair play."
The German, who is a blacksmith employed
in ono of tho shops of town, acted upon tho
prompting. A blow from tho shouldor
sent ono of his usaailants to the
ground like a felled ox and a second
man went down In liko manner. Tho third
tried to run, hut the blacksmith was too
quick. This part of the fight was continued
about ten minutes and when it ended tho
blacksmith had tho field to himself. Torn
collars and spots of blood marked the scene
of the battlu this morning.
THE SCHOOLS OPEN.
A Lurgo
I no ease In Attendance
Former Years,
The public schools of town re-opened this
morning with a large attendance. The en
rollment Is not known yet, as Superintendent
Cooper has been too busy with other matters
to compile the figures. He was besieged this
morning by applicants for caruB of admission
and hi office was crowded until noon. The
change made by the last Legislature in tli
compulsory education law, whereby the law
is extended to children ranging from 8 to 10
years of age will uo doubt greatly increase
the enrollment over former years. Parents
should bear in mind that all children must
present certificates of vaccination before they
can be admitted to tlie schools, under the
law, and parents can facilitate matters and
greatly assist the school authorities by attend
mg to the vaccinations promptly.
1'p to Saturday evening the enrollment a
gregated 2,6414 pupils divided as follows:
High school, 141; second grade grammar, Siiifl;
lint grade, 287; fourth grade primary, 390;
third trade, 40s; second grade, 5oH; first
grade, 5H4. Up to noon to-day about 75
pupils were eniolled, most of them being ap
plicants for the lowest primary grade.

SKULL CRUSHED.
A Probable Murder Knncted In the First
Wnrd Last Night.
John Sarpolls a Lithuanian about 38 years
of ago and having a wife and three children,
who reside on East Lloyil street, lies at the
Miners' hospital nt Fountain Springs in n
critical condition and, in nil probability, will
die. Tho Injury from which ho suffers is a
fracture of tho skull afiWtlng tlio brain and
causing complete paralysis of the left side of
the body. The wound was inflicted with
murderous Intent. The details of tho case
aro meagre. People suspected of knowing
the facts aro reticent and tho polico aro not
Inclined to say much until arrests are mado.
From what has been learned it appears
that Sarpolls left tho saloon of Matt. Rakls,
on East Centre street, at about 0 o'clock last
night. He loft by tho tear entrance and an
hour later Was found unconscious at the rear
of the saloon. An alarm was given and sev
eral constables and polico hurried to tho
scene. Dm. Church, Burke and Stein wore
also called. They found that the
victim was suffering from n fracture
of the skull, on tho top and to
tho right of the centre Hue
Paralysis having set iu tho victim was
unable to glvo tho polico. any facts. It was
supposed that the wound, which was a
frightful one, was inflicted with tho blunt
end of nn nx, or hatchet, but it now appears
that a three-corner pieco of rock found In
the yard with blood and human hair upon it
was the Instrument used.
Two arrests were made at a late hour last
night. John Kosioski nhd Vlady Rltchkow
skl were taken into custody and are in the
lockup. John KIrosnowsky, Anthony Ka
maltls and two or three others, whose names
are not known, are wanted, and the police
expect to catch them beforo to-morrow. It
is said that when Sarpolls left tho saloon he
was followed into tho yard by Anthony
Kamaitts. Vlady Rltchkowskl, Jonn Kos
loskl and John Krlcznowsky, aud that the
nuartotte know all about tho affair.
Justice Toomoy conoluded to await for ad
ditional arrests and not havo n hearing of
tho case to-day. It is prosumod details of tho
affair will bo moro plentiful within the noxt
twelvo hours.
Tho Injured man was removed to tho
Miners' hospital tills morning. Upon arrival
there he was at otieo sent to tho operating
room and after an operation was performed
Dr. J. C. Blddlo, tho surgeon-in-chlcf, said :
"Tho man suffered, from a compound do
pressed fracturo of the skull. Tho prognosis
of tho case is death. Brain matter was ooz
ing out of tho wound. Wo removed a piece
