LENNOXVILLE, p. Q.
SrABBING AFFRAY.-A serious attack
was made Thursday morning ON
Mr.. Caswell, proprietor of the hotel, by
a party of roughs who had just come
in from across the lines. They called
at his hotel between IL and l o'clock,
A. NJ, and wanted drink and lodgings
for the night. This Mr.. Caswell refus-
ed, as he judged from their appearance
they had been drinking, but intimated
that if they behaved and would go to
their rooms they could remain for the
night. This they peremptorily declined
to do, and were finally elected from the
hotel. A few minutes after they were
caught in attempting to force the side
door and were pursued by Mr.. G. and a
friend into garden close to the crossing
and here a fight ensued, when Mr.. G.
was stabbed in the arm by one of them
named McLane, and from faintness and
loss of blood was obliged to retreat to
the hotel. Meanwhile Constable Hope
was aroused and the party arrested.
