Considerable excitement was created on oul
streets Wednesday by an affray between Asher

Kingsley, minor, who has been stopping in
town. The latter drew pistol upon
the officer, but claims that he did so in
sels-defense; that Horns actions towards him
justified the deed. Opinion seems to be divid-
ed, some claiming that the officer overstepped
the bounds of his duty.
Work is progressing finely ON the narrow

for several weeks for 200 men to work upon the
