McDonald's m31midons. When I go to bed to-
night, can do so with the consciousness Of
having saved the life Of James ncG,r7y. Bu,

The declining Of tho invitation v.s succeeded
by III interview with Mr.

seized the s.x-ahooter in my right hand, wrench

Keporter-Nhat became OF the pistol?

it from me as I WIS warlins of b1ov from Nick
Geary. BY the By, don't you think We bud bet

| Ihe next person interviewed WAS
| Nn- JOHN GAEnICK.
| Ibis gentleman acknowledged that his mind
| was somewhat con1used upon some points OF tho
aha1r- About ono thing, however, hc was quite
certain. But for his prompt action Mrs. Mcliar-
n would, At the moment ha was speaking, be q
| widow mourning over tito manly but Ifelees ro-
mains Of her lord. Tho gamblers horse-pistol
uas pointed in adirec: limo at poor McGarry's a5-
domcu. It WIS impossible that Mike could ruiss
SO ample tarsc. Just as the reckless gambler
| was pulling the trigger, he dashed tie pistol
from his hand and fcltcd him to the ground with
| blow under the lsit ear. He then engaged in

resulted in hiH beiue somewhat torn aud bruised

| plainly visible.
The next person interviewed WAS
MIR. st. CLAIR SUTHERLAND.
! Ihs gentleman considered :ho s.1air to be a
gross outrage, aud, as he spoke OF it, he warmed
with righteous lntt!gnatioa. ITO shinS," lie
said, raising his right hand. ''tl2t but for this
arm poor Jemi.y would now lie prone upon hsa
own uoor. the victim Of lo"-Ived GAMBLER!
There w.s not second, not Tho 1u.,5s lniiuitesi-
| I'al portion OF second, t, spara. Jenny stood

qucntiy for mercy. bat the co.d grsy ove of the
gambler looked cruelty along tho barrel OF his
tf7sgar, Sir, Ihad just finished drinking lem
onade, when. quick HI thought, l dashed the
glass aEaiuss tho gamblers to:aple, aad
hs fell. I secured his de-rinEsr, but
III tile seattle which followed 1 lost it. and
where it il now do not know.
1u view OF these conflicting etatenerts it is
hard to tell to whom beEouge1 tne honor OF
Iiic{Ing the 1cTolver from tho hald Of ;ha man
wLo re;iod upon it and his baliies il tho back
ground to gat revenge for some supposed injury
dome him by Hr. McGary. Il is lucky thing
for a1cGarry.
Later III tho evening quiet was restored ut BIC
darrvs. and til: proprietor went about his basi-
ness looking 20 happy that no one *ould ever
have suspected tf1.t he had been set up rs q tar
get only an hour before. It is pity tllat dis
graceful scene occurred at hih place. but 1t was
not his taalt. aud nobody will t.llui1 any the
worse OF him because OF tie invasion Of Lis
premises by set of blackguard5.
And now, in conclusion. 1t may be suggested to
Mr. Mcdonald, that this business Of drawing
revolver has been carried on about rs long ~ it
is safe. Thus far he has been lucky enough to
brandsh bis weapon in the faces of men who we're
uuarmed- One of these days he may happen to
try this game a gentleman from the West,
not used 10 taking second part iu these little
plaasa1tr1es, and Mcdonald may find tia: his OPP
ponent has - the drop on hlm." lie. him put
up his rather risky plaything. and il he wants to
injure men do it in his ordinary, professional
way.
At 1890 o'clock this morning Officer Bartlett

Lawrence and Oiticer Bartlett left the hack aud

jumped out md mada his escape. At the hour
Of going to press he bad not been rearrcsted, u
though the officers wess looking Tor him.

It never rains but 1t pou1s; and at O'Clock
this morning Mr.. McGarry was loud in his protcs-
tations against the converting Of his peacoable
saloon into prlze-ring. When the Mcdonald
fight was over, he hoped that peace was insured
him for the rest Of his life; but fights. like mis-
fortunes, seldom como singly. At half-past u !
o'clock
who had been fr1us the Peoples heart in some
OF the western wards during the evening, stepped /
luto McGaEEy's saloon for the purpose OF taking
3 nghtcap. He encountered there mob Of t
patriots, all eager to serve their country At the
least possible expense to themselves, and the |
most to the Commonwealth in which they are
allowed to vote. Among the pillars OF the |
American Constitution present on the occasion
Was
