cident or design. An insane woman
mysteriously disappeared many years
ago, and it was thought at the time that
she was drowned in the lake, but moth

We came near having little ''scrim-
mage" in our streets the other night. It
appears that one Asa Barron the hUtel
keeper at White River Junction, hap
pened to be here, when Jones the negro
barber, having little bill against him
presented it to him receipted, for pay
ment. Instead of paying it Barron
pocketed the receipt saying that he
didn't owe Jones anything. The bar
Der asked him to return the receipt
which he refused to do, and then he
.pitched in" to take it by force, sup
posing in his simplicity that Barron
with his receipted account in his pocket
would be safe in suit at law against
him. The belligerents were separated
before any great harm was done. Jones
was arrested on a criminal complaint,
but that couldn't be sustained and was
mol pros'd. Barron then brought civil
suit against Jones on which he was COM
mitted to Irasburgh Jail. If the facts
are as we heard them Barron acted q
most ungentlemanly part besides being
superbly mean, and his committal tt
Jail instead of Jones would have met the
ends of justice and satisfied fair deal
} ing community. AS it was the commit
tai of Jones was unjust in the extreme
; -Eapress.
