Party under Arrest - Great Excite
ment.
The good people of the quiet rural village
OF Richford were last Friday thrown into
fever of excitement by a no less startling
occurrence than a bone fide duel. one of the
principals being severely wounded. The
main particulars of the affair are as follows
As the Friday noon train from Montreal
halted at the Richford depot party of six
alighted, and, separating into two parties of
three each, passed through the village. and
past the house of Mr.. Sears, into grove
near by. A few minutes after Mr. Sears's
people heard two shots fired in rapid sue
cessiOn, and in about fifteen minutes they
were repeated. Little was thought of the
matter at the time, but shortly after the
last firing the party were seen returning
from the grove, supporting one of
their number. who was evidently dis
abled. Arriving at Mr.. Sears's house,
it was ascertained that the disabled man
was wounded, in iainting condition
stopped at the house, sent to Goddard's
Hotel for team, and thither the wounded
man was removed Dr. Hamilton was called
and on examination found that the man
had been shot in the right thigh, few
inches below the hip, the ball entering iE
front and passing nearly through, barely
missing the bone. DR.. Hamilton extract
ed the 0all. and made his patient as COM
Portable as possible.
Meantime the excitement had increased,
and. while the parry were waiting for the
train 10 return to Montreal, warrants were
issued and all were placed under arrest.
three of them were brought
before Justice Calkins. and, after examina-
ton, the evidence plainly indicating that
a duel had been fought, were hello in the
sum Of 81 600 each for their appearance at
court. The other three were to have their
examination Saturday They claimed that
they could obtain all the bail necessary from
friends in Montreal. and Immediately tele-
graphed for that purpose.
The party were well dressed and gentle
manly in appearance. The names of the |
principals were Arthur Rovet and Leon |
Naudry. The former named is the one
One of the parties at first ad- |
nltted that there had been duel, but |
afterwards thought IT discrete to deny it.

STILL LATER.
All the parties engaged in the affair Of
honor at Richlord, last Friday, are in Jail

their examination at Richtord, they declin-
ed to talk, simply denying the charge.
They have retained MeS-rs Noble, Davis

have been over from France only about d

Democrats, who deserve credit FOR their action,

all persons who have come from other States
to influence the election are requested to leave.

Our leading men ought to come to the

ner has, 50 as to inspire the people with cont-
dence in their leaders.
The people are very jealous and cautious at
this time as to their rights, and are unwilling
TO support OF vote for any one, who Is unwil-
ling to fully and fairly express his views on
the issues that they regard essential to their
interest.
It Is source Of uuugratulatiun upon the
part Of the people to know that one 81 able is
ready to do battle for their cause. II all our
leading men would come 10 the front and take
a stand in favor of honest labor. we would look
forward with hope to the period when onr
country would again be prosperous in all the
various branches Of industry"
