Yesterday afternoon Pat McDermott. OF 524 West
rorty-flth street, and Archie Mcdonald the son Of
grocer next door. became involved in quarrel
regarding the boundaries OF the Twenty-second
ward. During the heat OF the argument Nc
Donald called McDermott some opprobrions
names and pushed HIM. The latter warned
Mcdonald not TO repeat hts attentions, or he would
chastise him; but the warning was disregarded
and Mcdonald. 1t is said, attempted q second
time to push McDermott. when the latter struck
him, and Mcdonald, being under the influence or
liquor, fell heavily on the sidewalk. The result
was severe cut on the right temple, from which
he bled very freely. Adoctor was summoned and
the wound was dressed, but ne was still 80 pros
trated whether from the effects OF liquor,
the blood he had lost, or fracture of the
temporal bone, the doctor could not say)
that he was unable to appear In court to make
charge against McDermott. The latter was, how
ever, committed by Justice McQuade, at the above
Court, to await the result OF the injuries on the
complaint OF the officer.
