been wsRnR between Mr.. \. McMillen,

Prettyman, editor Of theSt. Marys Ob,trrer.
Prettyman blamed Mcmillan with stealing

when the Obs1Tsr came out with a whole
column OF sharp abuse. To thiH the Times
paid no attention. and the Observer printed
another column with numerous large
bands pointing thereto. To-day the mat.
Ter came to a focus when Mr.. Prettyman
came here oil business, and the two met
ON Front street.
Both parties seemed to rush at each other
at the same moment, aud many blows
we're exchanged before friends could inter.

decided that as Mr.. MCMilen had made the
first motion toward an assault he was the
RVptessor party and be was bound over In
$500 bail, and oil the witnesses, including
Mr.. ProttymAn, we're also bound over for
their appearance at Court. Both the prin.
