company =. OF the enneSSee Mllltid, II.
l.. Hall, Captain, are encamped on North
Hight street, at the government corral.
Capt. Hall being absent, they are under
the command Of 1t. Minor. Thursday
three of the company, J. G. Kelso, of
Union comfy, aged eighteen years, Francis
NJ. Wright and Daniel Marley, of Knox,
aged respectfully eighteen and nineteen
years, came into the city to see the sights,
and enjoy themselves, in their peculiar
style. Their firearms were left in camp;
so they provided themselves each with
heavy stone, wrapped in a handkerchief
Between and 8 o'clock, P. NJ, they found
themselves on North College street, at the
junction of Jackson. On the northeast
corner of these streets Mr.. w. p. Stone and
VIM. Sloan, with their families, reside.
The evening being pleasant, Mrs. Stone
and Mrs. Sloan were sitting together
in front Of the house. One of the
melish stepped up and took a seat between
them. A little son of Mr.. Stone imme-
diately demanded his business there
and in a moment Mr.. Stone came
out of the house and ordered him off He
refused TO go, whereupon Mr.. Stone sought
rades coming to his aid Mr.. Stone was in
fair way of being oyerpoWered But
Mr.. Sloan hearing the noise came to his
relief, and urged the men to leave, telling
them that it was no place for a difficulty
there in the presence of ladies and children.
The only reply he got was blow from
slung stone At this iuncture, Justice
Mathews, who resides on the opposite
corner of the street, went over, but, seeing
how things stood, Wens back home and got
his double-barrel shot gun. Seeing him
emerge from his residence thus armed, the
bully melish took TO their heels out Col
lege street. The Justice Immediately
summoned Messrs. Stone, Franks and
the two William Sloans as
civil posse, and commanded them to
follow him, as he intended to arrest the
offenders at all hazards By this time
there was considerable ub-bub, and many
persons had collected. The Justice and
his posse followed the melish as fast as
they could run, but could neither overtake
nor get shot at them. Officers Ambrose
and Petty happened to be near Hudson's
grocery, and as they passed there, captured
one-Kelso-and shot at the other two
without effect. The remaining men were
followed, but escaped.
Having given up the chase, arrange
ments we're being made to send KeIso to
jail, when up came another melish and
asked what they we're going to do. Sloan
recognized him as one of the offenders, and
knocked him down. He was put under
arrest, but stoutly denied the charge. How
ever, when taken before Kelso, the latter
said Hello, Frank they we got you tooP
This was too much for Frank, and he
ca7ed. Both we're sent to Jail. They gave
the name Of their missing comrade as
Daniel Marley.
Yesterday morning Justice Mathews de-
termined that the laws should be vindi-
Gated, and sent Marshal Ambrose 1t. Cor
belt, and policemen Petty and Allen out to
the camp to arrest Marley. They went,
asked for the muster-roll, found his name
and stated to the commanding officer, 1t.
Minor, that they had a writ for Marley,
and desired to serve it. After hearing an
explanation, 1t. Minor said he would place
no obstruction in the way of the law, and
gave the man up. The civil officers we're
much pleased with the manner and conduct
Of 1t. Minor, who behaved like a law
abiding, honorable man. Marley was also
| sent to Jail.
The prisoners are charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill, and will be
tried at 10 A. NJ. to-day before Justice
| Mathews.
The action of the Justice in this affair is
highly commendable He did not wait to
see the law executed, but promptly went to
execute il himself. He is one of the most
genial men in the world-overfowing with
the milk of human kindness-but firm and
irreproachable as an oficer-a foe to vice
| and crime of all kinds.
