The bob-tailed caboose, attached to the
$50 dummy, yesterday evening, was the
scene of lively set-o, which was holly
contested by Tom Lusk, one of the Kue.
vens, and several others whose names could
not be learned. Mr.. Sutton, late candidate
for County Attorney, ventGred to offer a
few peaceful remarks, when he suddenly
found himself spinning from the car,
and all other efforts to quiet
the disturbance met with about the same
result. Finally it was decided to cut the
caboose loose on Bellevue Hill while the
contestants were still fighting like Kilkenny
cats, and brandishing rusty frog-slickers in
the air. The dummy went ahead, and the
car of warriors took the back track down
hill. The brakes were soon applied, how.
ever, peace was restored, the dummy re-
turned for the menagerie, and they all
moved into Dayton calm and serene as q
summer morning.
