BLOODY ARRAY IN BURLINUroN.-
The Free Pres says:
Shortly leiolc 10 O'Clock SUNDAY
morning, Mr.. II. :. styles went into his
printing office, in Pcck's Block, in COM
rany with Mr.. Geo. Church. AS they
passed tie door leading into Dwight
Matthews Billiard Saloon, at the head
of The first flight of stairs, they heard
persons in the saloon. and the click of
the key in the lock of the door; not no.
ticing this particularly, however, they
went on into the printing room on the
iloor above. In IA few moments they
heard loud voices of persons in alterca-
ton, followed by Il sound, as of the
falling of heavy body upon the floor.
While listening, to learn, if possible,
the nature of the affair, they heard APP
murder y Both Immediately rushed
down to the door of the saloon, and
heard distinctly the noise OF blows and
cries of murder They tried the door
and found it locked, when Mr. Styles
raised himself and looked through the
glass above the door; he saw Dwight
Matthews holding Albert Giving with
one hand, and with the other beating
him over the head and face with what
seemed to be the handle of a stove-grate.
The matter appeared to be serious, and
Mr.. Styles and Mr.. Church crossed the
road rapidly to the police office, and re-
turned with officer Beriah r. Thomas.
Looking again through the window,
they found Matthews still pummelling
Wing, who was making desperate eff
forts to rise. In reply to the demand of
Officer Thomas to be admitted the door
was soon opened by Matthews when,
Judging from the large pools of blood
which were lying OH the floor, and the
personal appearance of both parties, it
seemed fortunate that the affray was
thus earlp interrupted, or more serious
and perhaps fatal consequences might
have ensued. Both men were consider
ably under the influence of liquor, which
together with the fact that an old grudge
was known to have existed between
them, will probably account for the be-
ginning of the quarrel. Sheriff Griffin
being sent for, put both men under ar
rest, and carried them to jail; Mat
thews' wounds, which We're quite seri-
Gus, were dressed by DR.. Knox. In the
afternoon both were released upon their
agreeing to appear for examination at
the City Court at 8 O'Clock Monday
morning.
From the official report of the pro-
ceedings of the Court, we learn that the
respondents appeared inCourt as agreed,
and the hearing of their case was adj
J ourned till next Saturday morning.
