zASEsvrLLE, O., May ia party of
four young men entered Galigher's hat
store last evening and undertook to pur.
chase some hats. The men had been
drinking and were considerably under the
influence of the liquor. An insult passed
between the parties and Mr.. Galigher, no
one knows what, when the four attacked
Mr.. Gallagher, his son, Dick Allen and
John Allen, clerks. In two minutes a
dozen were engaged in the fracas, and as
both parties are well known, at one time
there promised to be pretty general free
fight. In ten minutes Main street was
completely blockaded by the crowd, and
with difficulty the police succeeding in
bagging the youngsters. No one was in.
jured except John Allen, who received q
fearful cut on the back of the head. The
offenders were taken to the station house
with the charge of assault and battery
lodged against them. All parties are emf.
nently respectable. The iracas creates O

BURLINGTON. May ls-The Hapteys will
publish on Monday special crop reports
from over one hundred points in Iowa.
They show an increased acreage Of wheat
and corn, and that both Of those crops are
in excellent condition. The season has
been dry which has enabled the farmers
to plow lands that were not tillable in a
wet season. In a few localities the drought
has done some damage, but as a rule the
recent rains came in time to leave the
crops in good shape, but in most sections
more rain will be needed within week
or ten days to keep the crops in good con-
dition. Oats aud hay will fall short OF
the yield Of last year owing TO decreased
acreage OF the oats sown and the dry sea-
son. Other crops promise good yield.

safe. One OF the clerks, however, had $50
in his trunk, which they compelled him to
give up. They then took suit OF clothes
3and whatever else they wanted. Several
men had entered the store In tho mean
time, not knowing ofthe robbery that was
going on. They were met at the door by
one Of the robbers, and with a pistol At
their heads made to stand in file with the
others and hold up their hands. On leay.
ing the robbers took all the watches be-
longing to their victims, made them march
to the middle OF the street with their
hands up, and in this position tho robbers
bade them hasty farewell and fed rapid
ly southwark. The Company's switch.
