RioT AT RoNEY's PofNT.-saturday
night six roughs entered the bar room
Of Mr.. leImberger's tavern at Roney'l
Point and demanded something tc
drink. Mr.. II. refused TO comply With
the demand of the entire party, as be
thought several OF them had more BEN
zine on board already than they should
have. He furnished the drinks to two
or three Of them, which they had nc
sooner swallowed than they renewed
the request. His noncompliance In the
second instance was not kindly re-
ceived, when he ordered the intruderI
to leave. They went out and the
doors were closed behind them
Maddened by the refusal they com.
menced general onslaught on
the doors which they battered down
and regalnlng the bar. room, they took
possession and dealt out the contents
OF The bar as they desired. The entire
household was aroused, and gathering
