ING.
SATURDAY.-F. II. Marshall VS.. Eben N Perry It
al. Assumpsit to recover the price of ten tubs Of
butter sold by the plaintiff, merchant in Boston tc
the defendants, dealers in produce in this city. De
PENDANTS admitted the amount and price of the but
ter sold, but claimed deduction on four tubs which
did not, they say, turn out to be such butter as
they ordered the contract called for; that they
were unable to sell it, except for cooking butter,
which they did at discount on the contract price of
1929.
Plaintiff says the goods were sold on thirty days,
but matter of fact they did not draw on de end-
ants for nearly two months. In the mean time de-
PENDANTS had given him no notice that the goods were
not all as represented and that they claimed dis
count therefor; that the first notice he had of that
fact was defendants refusal to accept the draft.
Plaintiff offered evidence tending to show custom
among merchants to give the purchaser ten days in
which to examine the goods and claim discount if
they turn out not to be represented, after which
time, if such notice is not given, the goods shall be
deemed accepted as filling the contract.
Defendants denied there was such a custom, and
ifthere was they never knew it. Verdict for the
plaintiff for full amount claimed.
O'Donnell g. Sylvester for plaintiff.
Drummond & Winship for defendants.

A WILD DAY ON CENTRE STREET-An OH.
Ger ASSaalted.-Yesterday was most disorder
ly day at Gorham's Corner. Early in the
morning Officers York and Miles we're drawn
to this vicinity by large, rough crowd of dis
orderly persons who persisted in filling the
street and sidewalks much to the disturbance
of peaceful passers-by. About II o'clock the
officers, who were continually patroling the
vicinity, were notified that a key Of beer was
on sale at private house on Fore street, and
that tie half-crazed people were drinking free
ly. The officers at once seized the beer and
sent for one of the deputy sheriffs to take it
away. In the meantime large crowd gathered
about officers Miles and York and attempted to
intimdate them by threats. This was not eff
fectual, and one of the roughs, named John
Donavan, raised brick and deliberately struck
officer York with it. The officer dropped as if
shot, and Donavan attempted to escape, but
officer Miles gave chase and after long run
caught him. In the meantime officer York had
revived and the two officers took the assailant
in charge and started for the station. As they
passed up Centre street it was very evident
that Donavan had friends in the crowd who
still wished to make trouble for tine officers.
Just as they reached Spring street York caught
sight of John Leonard just in the act of
throwing large stone at him. He left Don
avian in charge of Miles and darted back to the
crowd after Leonard, whom he caught and
ironed. The pair were then taken to the sta
ton, followed by as rough crowd as ever tried
to pack q Chicago ward room. Both Of these
fellows were released from Auburn jail Satur-
day. In the excitement officer York did not
notice his injury, which tits feared will prove
very severe if not dangerous. DR.. Ring
was called, but was unable to state the extent
of the Injury.
After the injury TO officer York, officer Han
son was detailed to assist Miles, and both of
them were kept busy. A man named Driscoll
was arrested for obstructing the sidewalk. An
other man named Malloy was taken in for
beating his wife. Joe Mcclure was taken up
for obstructng the sidewalk. To SUM- it all up,
Miles and York made one seizure aud arrested
five men on Centre street for different causes,
and officers Miles and Hanson took four more
from the same street later in the day for fight
ing and disturbing the peace. All three officers
are deserving of praise for their skill and
bravery in Dreyentnr an omen riot
