II EVENING NEWS.

cry on c street. Quite . number ofper-
sons had assembled themselves together
to drink lager, when q row was kicked
up IN which two men, one named Law
less and the other Dick Hubbard, were
the the principal actors. Some say that
Hubbard commenced the row and others
say that il WAS Lawless. One thing is
certain, however, when Mr.. Lecony,
who was near by got there, he found
Lawless on the top OF Hubbard beating
him, while a crowd stood around
with beer mugs in their hands, ready to
"sail in" if they had an opportunity
presented. Hubbard WAS shot twice in
the breast with one o. those old fash
toned pepp.r-boS r~evolvers. The bal!
struck the breast bone but did not 60
in through in either instance. He was
then knocked down and beaten with a
tumbler in n most brutal manner, uu-
til he WAS quite insensible. His head
and face was badly cut up, and had moi
Mr.. Leconey or some one else intes!ered
he would have been killed. Had the
pistol been any account, the work In
tended by the man who fred it, either
shot would have proved fatal. The as
saul,irg party has not been found yet,
although we understand he 10 oeinS
looked after. This is his second assault
on Hubbard With q weapon, so we are
informed.
SHoorrSs.-Last night, as the per-
Torrance st Piper's Opera House wal
nearly closed, the audience was startled
BY the repor, of a pistol in front Of the
Opera House. A general rush wal
made for the door TO see what was the
cause of it. It proved to have been
officer Billings, who shot his pistol Cd
in the air for the purpose OF stopping 8
man who WAS attempting 10 get away.
II seems that O man by the name OF
D. Msnni1 got into = fight 81 a brewery
on North c street, and was pretty badly
used by some one. Officer Billings ar
rested him ard took him to the station
house. While the officer was getting
his KEY from his pocketto open the door
the fellow gave ''leg bail Billings
gave chase, and called TO him to stop
several times, which he refused to do.
Finally the officer fred = pistol over his
head, and ManniI thought he was killed,
and dropped down all in a heap. lie
va, taken to the ststiou-house and
locked up. Several hundred people col
lected in front Of the ststion-house to
see wha, was the matter, when officer
Harmon told them that = man Was shot
in the neck down At Dan Lyons saloon.
general rush was made for that point,
lust in time 10 see several more get shot
in the same manner referred TO BY Hsr-
mon.
OPERA Housr.-Miss Alice K~ingsbury
made her first appearance before a Ne
yada audience las, night. The play
selected WAS d" Fanchon.'' Although
this play had been a little worn with
the patrons Of the Opera House within
the last two months, nevertheless, !as'
night i, was put on the stage in such a
manner as TO give most complete salts
faction to the large and appsecissIve
audience. Miss KingsburyS acting 10
simple, and so natural that one is led
to believe the reality is actually tran
spring. She has none Of that gaspIng
and hysterical jerking so common
among actresses; but her every move
ment is easy and natural. Her voice Is
clear, and her pronunciation distinct
in every part Of the play. She seems to
enter into the spirit of the character re-
presented. We presume that people
who are in the habit Of witnessing good
acting on the stage, and who may wit
ness Miss kingsbury's performance, sre
Jus, a. able to critici.e her merits as Al
actress as we are. Therefore we would
advise an attendance at the Opera House
during her engagement.
ALMOST 4 FIRE.-Last night, At Day
ton, after the performance given by Mr..
Heller was over and the people had
started to 60 home, one man who was
entirely to tall for any practical purpos-
e. excepting TO live in a country where
he could hold the pigs up in the tops OF
the trees TO get scorns, undertook TO
mas, under a chandelier, when his head
came in contact with one Of the lamps
and knocked i. out Of It's place. II fell
20 the floor and was crushed TO pieces.
The oil took FIRE and it wal with great
difficulty e1tinguished. The excitement
10 said 70 have been intense, as there is
no method Of putting a IRE out except
ing with buckets. The Theatre Hall IS
in the uppe or third story Of the Ma
tional Hotel, and situated in the centre
of town; so il a FIRE had started there II
would have burnt the entire town be-
fore it could have been stopped. The
performance of Mr.. Heller was well pat
ronized by the people Of Dayton, Al
though we doubt very much if they dis
covered how he performed his tricks.
AsrsoLoaY.-Yesterday afternoon, as
A boy WAS riding a small sized jack
down Nsin street, the jack stumbled,
and the FIRST thing hat touched the
ground was the top of the animals
head; and then it went straight over
leaving 8 complete photograph OF the
animals face in the dust. The boy
kent his sea. until the tail Of the animal
was straight up, when he tumbled oil
Although he was under the jack he wal
not hurt. Il WAS a dangerous operation
but a very lsughable sight.
