A fight Immediately ensued in which Perasich
was struck in the forehead by weight, re-
ceiving an ugly wound. Pe.asich was then
pretty badly beaten, it is claimed, by three
men in the store. During the melee Sheriff
Hill arrived and found four men engaged in
the fight OH the Auor, scattering the fruit of
different chimes in all directions, while
kerosene lamp which hung in chandelier
over the contestants was smashed, and the
oil falling on the contestants acted as ell usu

BROTHER TO THE RESCUE.
Just then George Perasich, who heard that
three men were beating his brother to death,
arrived with q horse pistol and was about to
inaugurate a renewal of the quarrel, when the
Sheriff persuaded him to go away. He went
down to the doctors Office and seeing his
brothers bleeding head, was SO filled with e1-
citelaent aid rage that he rushed back and
renewed the fight on his own hook.
