From the cloth. Ing of the victim It was evident that the assailant had worked himself up to a frensy, as he administered a 4osen slashes before he desisted. Only three of the thrusts were serious, the pothers slashing the clothing of the yitOm into shreds. The three cuts ttliat took effect were in the lower .left Mbdomen, and the knife penetrated 4iuite deep. An operation was neces- sary, and It to believed now that tho wfll live Mearier Has Good Record, ^rhe assault occurred in an alley * past of Clark street, about seventy feat north from Devon avenue. Henry, "thovtetitn,is about 33 years old and iwrrieeL McGrier also is married and too and his wife reside with bis mother. After be had given himself aft tho local authorities telephoned the Rogers Park station and. Officers M. J. Ho* and A. J. Berglund imme- diately were dispatched to Bvanston aad Quissed the accused. When Mc- Grier bad finished the assault he came to Bvanston, and, after a eonsultatiou with bis family, gave himself up to the jMllee. His mother and girl-wife were admitted to the room where be was being examined. McGrier comes from a respectable colored family in Bvans- ton and had never been in trouble be- tors. The family has a high standing maong the colored population. The prisoner was taken to the Rogers Park station and will be held pending tha result of his attack on Henry. Mrs. George P. Jackson of 1411 Elm- wood avenue, who has not traveled in the realms of matrimony for a great period of time, caused quite a sensa tion in the police court of Magistrate Boyer on Monday afternoon when she appeared to testify against the Evans- ton Packing company for an alleged shortage In weight In the meat sent her by that concern. It appeared thai Mrs. Jackson ordered four and one- half pounds of beef tenderloin last Tuesday from the butcher, and on the next day when the meat came she reached for her handy scales and found that the weight had shrunk to three pounds. Not having been In the housekeeping line for any extended length of time, she did not understand the shortage and caused a warrant to be sworn out against Frank Weigl of 1620 St. Louis avenue, Chicago, who was the clerk who sold her the meat, and against P. J. Rapp, the proprietor of the establishment Trial Clears Up Difficulty. When the case came to trial yester- day afternoon seldom has Bvanston seen such an array of expert wit- nesses. The contention of the butcher was that the shortage was caused by the necessary trimming that must be done to make filet of beef out of the original beef tenderloin. In addition to the employe of the packing com- pany, H. F. Becker of Evanston and J. R. McNaughton of Chicago, both ex- perienced butchers, testified that in re- ducing a beef tenderloin to a filet of beef it is necessary to cut off one-third and even one-half ot the original cut to make it ready for cooking. Attor- ney Charles Bartlett represented Mrs. Jackson and Benjamin Marsh the de- fendant. W. H. Twiggs, the city seal- er, was present at the hearing, as it Is his function to ascertain whether the scales give the right weight. He testified that the scales of the Bvans- ton Packing company were absolutely correct, and that the loss must have been due to the waste. When Mrs. Jackson had had the matter explained to her she under' stood that she had been mistaken and withdrew the complaint "I supposed that there was some loss in weight when the meat is trimmed," she said, "but I didn't think I had to pay for so much that I didn't receive." The bill was paid and the case dismissed. ON Y. EC. A. ELECTS NEW OFFICERS JU the annua! meeting of the Evans- «tf Y. M. C. A. held on Monday. Jan.

The program was one of unusual features, and marked the tenth anni- versary of Mrs. Katharyn Howard Ward's services as organist, the fifti- eth organ recital and the dedication of the new echo organ. Fully twelve hun- dred people were in the church, and about as many were turned away. WILL GIVE PHOTOGRAPHS.

WILL FIGHT VILLAGE Municipal Association Will Oppose Formation of Village of Clavton on Border. The combined activities of the Mu- nicipal association and The Lake Shore News have precipitated mat- ters in the "bind pig" district on the western borders ot Bvanston, until there is a fight now to see if the "blind pigs" shall succeed in incorpo- rating as a village under the name of Clayton, or the decent people in that district shall be successful in their efforts to become annexed to the city of Bvanston, In accordance with the ordinance that was passed in the city council last Tuesday night, as a result of a petition presented by the citizens of that community through the Municipal association, and upon which James Madison Stiller, George Kearney, R. Clarence Brown and At- torney Murray have been working for Bome time. Otto Ryden in Queer Role. One of the strangest developments In the situation is that the "plggers" have been advised in their plans for the formation of a "booze" village by Mr. Otto O. Ryden of this city, an at- torney, who some years ago was a candidate for city attorney for Bvans- ton. These late developments as to the kind ot man Ryden really Is are gratifying in the fact that they make it possible to congratulate ourselves upon the fact that the cltlsens of Bv- anston did not elect him to'the office which he sought, and which would have been an ideal position from which to transact such business as that which be now finds himself en- gaged in. The Ryden petition to the county court bears twenty-five signatures and provides for a special election to be held Feb. 26, at which only the legal voters in the district affected will be permitted to vote. It is an interesting fact that of the less than 100 voters there, thirty-five signed the petition to be annexed to Bvanston, while twenty-five have signed the petition to become a village. Fight Is Now On in Earnest. It is thought more than probable that the Ryden "pig" village petition, which has been filed at the county court may be faulty as to signatures or form, and attorneys for the Muni- cipal association and other organiza- tions which are fighting the "blind pigs" are beginning this morning investigate that phase of the situa- tion. If It is found that there has been some error in the form or the procedure, the matter will be taken Into the courts and the petition thrown out, which will leave the an- nexation petition valid and in force. Then the only thing remaining to do will be for the city of Evanston to vote to take their neighbors into the municipal fold. In the event the vil- lage petition is found valid, there will be a campaign started in the district to persuade a majority of the voters to vote against the village incorpora- ion in the February election. If this effort is successful then there will be nothing in the way of the annexation ordinance, which has already passed the city council. TRIBUTE PAID CEO. M. 8ARCENT Mayor Joseph B. Paden paid a high tribute to the memory of the late George M. Sargent at the meeting of the Bvanston city council last Tues- day night, and after he concluded his remarks the council voted to have a certified copy of the council pro- ceedings, including his remarks, sent to the Sargent family. What the Mayor Said. After the roll call the mayor spoke as follows: "I think it Is proper that a few woTA be laid about a sad incident, before entering upon the formal busi- ness of the evening. "Since the adjournment of the coun- cil last week, there has passed into the other life, one of the oldest and best citizens of the city, Mr. George M. Sargent Mr!

He was a member of the village board of the former vil- lage ot Evanston for many years, while Evanston was developing into the attractive community which we now enjoy. Since his connection as an official closed, he was always active in keeping advised of public affairs and had much pride in the city and its government. He was one of those kindly, genial men who lived It the sunshine, and who always had a happy greeting for everybody, and was man who is entitled to more than lng notice at bis death. He took a supreme delight in meeting men and particularly in introducing men to each other, and I am sure, If the facts were known, a great many men have made business and social acquaint- ances which have lasted through life through his commendable tendency in that respect. "As I have said before, he was al- ways particularly solicitlous about the welfare of the city. Many times when he was away In the south or in Atlantic City, where he spent much ot his time dur- ing his later years, I have had letters from him stating that he had read something that the council or other officials had done which pleased him and be would express his appreciation and compliment the officials upon their work, it wa8 always very pleasing and encouraging to have messages of this kind. He was constantly making inquiries as to the progress of affairs, but such inquiries were never made in a belligerent manner. He simply wanted to know facts and sought to ascertain them in a sympathetic way. "Knowing him and his disposition as I did, it is in my heart to say that I feel tbat one of our most lovable and best citizens has passed away and that it is due to bis memory that this pub- lic appreciation of his character should be expressed. It is a pleasure to speak of that kind of a man, although I regret very much to announce that the hand of death hag taken him." MATTRESS CAUGHT FIRE. A still alarm of fire was reported late yesterday afternoon from the resi- dence of J. Dunn, 1566 Dewey avenue. A mattress had caught fire, and the damage resulting amounted to $25. Guitar lessons.
