Ward found his man and on attempting to take him was struck in the face and knocked down. Mr. Ward now went in pluckily and had just got Condren under subjection, when two more colored gentlemen, John Shelto and William Simonds took hand in, pounding and kicking MT. Ward quite severely, and also threading to take his life. MT. Ward was forced to withdraw. Sheriff Baldwin had been sent for to help arrest the offenders, and arrived just af ter Ward withdrew.
