Mcintyre Not Guilty Of An Assault.

Election day Auditor Mcintyre came
near getting into bad company. Several
Page roughs, knowing and calculating
on his i'll health and consequent weak
ness, intended to thrash him, but they
missed their guess, as Nc is good for
something yet. The assault upon him
happened thusly: He was at the Second
ward poll and was persuading man to
vote certain ticket, when Dave Gates
came up and lmpudently thrust his nose
and Page ticket betweenJthem and took
the words out of Mes mouth. Nc re-
monstrated, but Gates persisted, and fin
ally Auditor Mcintyre referred to WELL
known exploits of the Gates family in
thievery. Twitting on facts was too
much for Gates, and so he retorted IN
lies and called Nc thief, when Nc felt
in duty bound to smite him. He did.
Immediately several Page roughs, who
evidently calculated to thrash Nc, then
and there fell upon him; among them
Bob Mcdonald, who seized him roughly
by the shoulder. Nc turned quickly and
launched him one that made him loosen
quick. Then Bob reminded him that he
arrested him "for striking that man"
and Marshal Riley coming up at the
time asked what the row was, led Mcintyre
away, Mcdonald following, and contin-
uing to abuse Mcintyre, until opposite
Cameron & Cranes Office, where he of:
fered to "put head ON Mcintyre, and
half opposing him, was pushed from the
side walk. Mcintyre then quietly pro-
ceeded with Marshal Riley towards Squire
Grimth's Office, and after turning the
corner, Bob dropped behind, when an
old bald-headed busy body said to him,
"He's your prisoner, take him to Noble. ~
Bob then came running down, yanked
him savagely by the collar, and Nc shook
him off. Bob then came for him and Nc
says he kicked him "in the lower part OF
the body" It was painful sight to the
crowd. Bob gathered himself. and com
ing again too near the dangerous Nc

It was proven that constable Mcdonald
never informed Mcintyre of his official
capacity; but laid violent hands on him,
when of course Nc was justified in
knocking him down. An officer who

consequences, as must any man. The
