MURDERoUs-Conneau on Saturday eve
ming last was the scene of a most murderous
affray, attributable, as it would seem, mainly
to whisky. A party of four sailors and fisher
men becoming noisy and turbulent, in one of
the saloons Of the place, officer Stne was
called TO quell the disturbance, and in doing
50 attempted the arrest of one Thos De Lury,
who plunged knife twice into the officer, the
first thrust being through the hand from near
the wrist, and opening cut outward between
the fingers, and the other was in the left side
between the ribs and i'll the region of the heart,
and of adangcrous character. The party tried
to make their escape, but were followed, and
Julius Williams, who was appealed to for
assistance, grapplcd with De Lury and brought
him to the ground, falling with him. While
down the same knife was plunged into Will
liams near tho pit of the stomach. While a
second blow was aimed, De Lury was struck
upon the head and disabled, so that he was
taken, and John De Lury and John Chase, of
the party, were also arrested, while John Flynn,
the fourth, escaped. The parties waived an
examination, and were put under bonds of
$4,000 each for the De Lurys, and 81 900 for
Chase. Having no one to stand for them, they
were sent TO Jail. The excitement was natur-
ally very great, and the sympathy for Slime
and Williams very warm and general. The
De Lurys, as we learn from the Rlporter, from
which these facts are condensed, are of a low
order of Buffalo Five Pointers, and aged re-
spectively 25 and 81 years.
