between some Of the show men and Dumbsr OF the
citizens present. We give TIE facts - they were

ties were p psrated, but the Snowman embraced q
eube. queIt oppoT tunty 70 return the blss De had
received. This brought On fight, in which five or
Elk sbowmen and number OF citizens took part.
The former we're armed with bludgeobs, Shds tae
citizens who hurried up were unprSpared f,r such
an o. cssion. Several gentlemen were, 10 conss-
qusnce, considers ably injured BY the clubs OF toe
sbewDeD. We learn that Braxton Eastman. Esq,
Who promptly stepped up, and AZ magistrate COM
mar dtd the peace was Knocked down several t,mss
with biudReoh, several Of his teeth knocked out,
and his head considerably cut.
Meesrs. Perry, Smith, Robert Bruce and -
johnson also received severe injuries. During the
mci(e number Of sbowmen from Bsrnums tent
rushed to the scene, but did not, 1t vas thought,
Parti ipate. The citizens also crowded up, aud the
public arms were placed In the hands Of number
who volunteered to restors order. The volunteers
PROCEEDED TO run down the offending sh0 wmen, aud
made pirtyseven arrests. rne prist ners we're
lodged in jail and kept under guard until the folio~-
ing day, when they we're examined before msg,s-
tTate. THIS examination resulted In the commit
ment for trial Of four or i've Of the number. Toe
rest we're discharged
Our informant states the scene az the most fear
fully exciting he had ever Witnessed So exasperaed
we've the citizers that 1t was with the utmo,t dill.
Guilty they ere restrained BY the calmer portion
from ehc0tiug down number Of the saOwmen
in their tscks. The legal proceedings Of the suo-
eequ.Dt day were also attended by large and deep
" excited crowd. .a
We believe the showmen escaped with much less
injury than they inflicted. We uuderst and that thu
one most hurt was one who resisted arrest, and was
Knocked down and beaten somewhat. We gal
tnaS the citizens left the matter TO .he Law, aud
now trust that the law will be faithfully executed.
A little previous to the fight one Of the shJwme1
was arrested t0r eDticDg off and harb0ring neRrs
belonging to Q gentleman In Madison. The negro,
too, was recovered at Washington while holding one
Of tie wagon horses. 1t was rum0rrd that the fight
grew out Ofithe attempt to rest the kdnapper; bat
cur informant says 1t is o mistake, NO o. position
having been made to it. We trust the time viii
'one when We shall be free from the presence Of
these str0liDg vsgabonds.
