getting beastly drunk and making a
fool Of himself. He was around the
city all day, but in the evening got in
to trouble down at the depot, aud but
for the interference Of policeman
would probably have had his nose
spread all over his face.
1t seems that he went down into

bears the reputation of being gem
tleman. This Bloomfield chap soon
struck up conversation with the
stranger who he pretended TO have
seen before, and while talking slip
ped fifteen dollars into the strangers
pocket. The Hairy Nation chap then
told the man that he had put some
money into his over coat pocket, The
msn then gave the fellow his money
back, and told him he did not want

more. Then the row began i,l' earnest,

had put twenty-five doIiars into the

the Goa, should give it back, or take a
licking, and applied every Insulting

by striking at the stranger. Bystan.

deliberately belted Bloomfield under
