ing room soon after, one of the guests came to Read and said that Ryan had begun his bad actions again, and requested that he be put out. On being again spoken to, Ryan began to swear, and wanted Read to fight him. Mir. Potter coming in, he turned on him, and final ly he was put out of the room. As he left the house he declared that he would have ven- geance, and made 8 good many threats, a good many of his friends taking his part. They went back to the grove, and just before the train was about to start, he returned to the hotel, with others, and settled his bill, and then started for the dining room to find Read, but were stopped by Messrs. Woodruff and Kennedy. Just then Ryan and his friend, AL bert Butler, saw Read, who was in the office, and proposed to settle the affair, Butler claim ing fhey had been misused, and struck at Read, who warded off the blow. A revolver being handed him, they were ordered to leave the house, but instead of that they began to crowd him, and as he went to cock the weapon Butler knocked it from his hand, it having missed fire. The disturbance then became general, one of the party picking up an iron spittoon, with which he inflicted quite @ seri- ous wound on Reads head, and another broke a cane over MT. Woodruff's head, and Butler got the revolver, levelling it on Read, who, having & single -barrelled pistol in his pocket
 drew that and fired, but missed his man, the ball entering the ceiling. Butler snapped the revolver and at that Read broke away and escaped, returning to the room just as Bert Williams and others came in, who took the weapon away and arrested him. Ryan by this time had got to the train, but was overtaken and brought back. Before Justice Turner they were immediately taken, and held in $50C bonds for trial, Deputy Sheriff slocum of Win sted, who was in town, and & friend Of the parties, becoming their bondsmen. The affair caused good deal of excitement in the viii lage, and warrants were subsequently obtain. ed for one Brennan, Joe Ryan, O'Connell and another. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Perry took the papers to Hartford Tuesday, and the hearing in the matter is set down for this (Thursday) afternoon at 1 o'clock. The parties were quih intoxicated. -. St. Thomas church andSunday school of Hartford had an excur-
 sionto this place, and picniced in Holley's
 grove last Tuesday, the 2sd -. The party iron Bridgeport, camping out at Perch Rocks
 left on the 24th, expressing. themselves as be- ing delighted with the locality, and expecting
 to return next summer and stay longer.
