sCIRMMAGE MOI.
In the 1Hiaaesotion of Saturdays
issue, an innocent Joke" was got
OH at the expense of one of our
prominent young men, who became
enraged at the cut and on Monday
morning last as Mr.. Pressnell, edi-
tor and publisher of said paper, was
coming out of the post office, they
happened to meet at the door, the
Young gent taking revenge by strik-
ing his editorial friend severe
blow IN the face; being off his guard
and the attack SO unexpected, the
IHtnneSOtlda man was knocked
down BY the severity of the blow
and found to be bleeding baily from
the nose. Not being wholly disa-
bled, however, he immediately re-
covered his footing aud clinched
with his opponent tor the mastery,
and the walks being exceeding slip
perry, they both fell, Mr.. 2. upper
most, the young man being so un-
fortunate as to break his leg in the
fall, and thus bringing the matter
to an abrupt ending. 1t is a sad
termination of the affair, and many
opinions are prevalent as 10 the one
mostly to blame, your correspond
ent agreeing with our IN Northern
Pacific editor" that both are in the
wrong.
CONFLICT NO. 2.-How STOCAH STAR
MoNGER WALBANK MADE a MN
COMPoOP OF HIMSELF.
The excitement with its disastrous
results had just become circulated
and the minds of the people agita-
ted to a fighting pitch, when our
friend DR.. 5. S. Walbank got up on
bis ear and took it iuto his head
that he must make "A noise-or, in
other words, shoot off his mouth
and In looking around for worthy
subject, happened to espy one of We
editors of the TIMES, as | understand
whereupon his wrath was great, for
upon whom could he shower the
venom Of his spleen as successfully
and satisfactorily as upon the edi-
tor of a paper, residing in rival
town? And then you stopped the
paper, too, you know.
The beautiful language with which
he relieved himself created quite a
sensation in fact, lockers on came
to the conclusion that the old adage
"a barking dog never bites,'' was
decidedly true in this particular
case; but we suppose he had good
reason for his temerity--probably
lived IN a country before his advent
into Duluth, where he knew how ii
was himself

ually assumed It's wonted sway, q
spirit of quietness came DER our dis
turbed minds, and we looked upon
the tumult as over. Imagine oul
surprise, however, when we heard
from the lips of a locker on that oul
tellow-towusmen j. ID. Howard and
Arson Northup had just been hay
ing a severe quarrel over an old and
disputed account in which Mr..
Northup claimed balance of some
small amount still due him. Mr..
Howard dlsputing his claim, North
up proposed to whip him.
The idea Of two gentlemen OF
their age fighting over an unsettled
account looked ike child's play to
Mr.. Howard, and he treated North
ups proposition with indifference
whereupon the enraged old pioneer
challenged him to fight duel acith
pistols, out on the ice. Mr. Howard
paid no attention to the talk of the
angry man, however, but leaving
him, went abont hi, business, un-
rutf1ed as a summers breeze.
No. 4-NoBoDY KILLED.
We also understand that Mr.
Northup cornered Mitchell of the
Tribune, up in the post office, dur
inc the afternoon, and threatened
him quite severely; but somehow
Mitchell did not scare worth cent,
with all Mr.. Ms fierce demonstra-
tons of what he would do, etc.
Thus far he has failed in hurting, or
even soaring, very baelly, the first
solitary soul.
ALL ABOUT THAT FIRE = SEVEN
BUILDINGS ASCEND IN SMOKE
AND OUR CORRESPONDENT GETS
UP IN THE CLOUDS, TOO.
AS the shades of evening drew
near, active preparations were being
made for the success of the "Tur
ner's Ball." which was to come off
that night and which they all aoant-
ed should be the dance of the season.
Prizes had been purchased for the
best Turner's, and amongst the
younger portion of the society there
was some considerable strife as to
who would excel and obtain the sill
yer mounted Powder Horn which
was looked upon by the sporting
members as very beautiful acqui-
sitioh to hunting outfit.
Covered sleighs and hacks were
busy picking up the attendants;
the horses, loaded with slvery bells
and bedecked with rosetts and rib
Dons specially prepared for the oc-
,asioo, danced merrily through the
