A DISTURBANCE.

AS soon as the men entered the room
they picked up the chairs and threw them
on the floor with such violence that four of
the chairs were broken to pieces.
King went to one of them and told him
that such conduct would not be tolerated
and that they must leave the house at once.
While he was engaged in this conversation
one of the others, said to be Pat. Connors,
picked up a chair and lifting it up knocked
the lamp down, which was suspended in the
centre of the room. The same party, it is
stated, struck King over the head with the
chair, knocking him to the floor. King
received the blow on the top of the head
and it is thought that serious results viii
follow He was insensible for some time,
and while he was conveyed to his room
the trio departed unmolested by the rest of
the company.

King who was at loss to explain why the

she knew of no illfeeling or other motive
that could have prompted them. They
were not intoxicated and hence could not
have been moved by liquor.

THEY RETURN.

After remaining away short time the
three men returned a third time, and
amused themselves by throwing stones at
the house, one missile going through the
east window and passed through the
dining room and emerged on the west side
of the house, breaking two plates of glass
in its fight. There was considerable ex-
element at the time and the female por-
ton of the party were badly frightened.
Shortly after the affair was over the Mo-
line policemen put in an appearance, and
learned all the particulars. The officers
started out in search of the men, but re-
turned without finding them. While they
were talking at the house, Connors Bar
nard and Jas. McCann returned to the house
and were arrested.

The guests Of the surprise party were
invited to supper which had been pre-
pared for them, and while the meal was in
progress the three men returned to the
house and entered the kitchen, nothing
was thought of their return, and they were
served with supper by Mrs. King in the
kitchen. They finished eating and then
made move for the parlor of the house
where the dancers were enjoying them
selves. This was objected to on the part
of King vino informed the men that it was
private party, and he did not desire them
as his guests. This appeared to make no
difference with the men, as they had evil

AN ASSAULT.
Joseph King, Of Moline, the
Victim.
UnweIcome Guests at a Sur
prise Party.
Refused Admittance they
Strike Their Host.

An anproyoked assault was made by
three men on Joseph King, the. preprie-
tor of the halfway house, last Saturday,
night, which may result in still more Sc
rious case of murder. The victim is lying
in q critical condition from the effects of
the blows administered, but no immediate
fatal result is apprehended, notwitagstand-
ing the rumors that were current during
the morning to the effect that King
was dead. The particulars of the fra cas-
show that there was little or no cause for
an assault, and in case the wounds result
in death, the murder viii be most wilful
and malicious act. The three men impi
Gated in the affair are under arrest, and
will be retained unless their victim expires
or regains his health.
Where the assault was made IS the half
way house, in Moline, which is boarding
house for farmers. 1t has saloon con-
nected with it, and in this department of
the house the trouble originated which ter
minated in the assault. Joseph King, the
proprietor of the house and saloon. had
been married exactly five years last Satur
day, and in honor of that event his friends
in this city had planned surprise party
for him.
They arrived in good numbers about 10
o'clock Saturday night and were welcomed
by the surprised hest and his wife.
The usual social evening on such occa-
sions was commenced and gave promise
Of proving very enjoyable.

complaint that he had obtained or exer-
cised some liberties connected with bis
testimony. He said they were only iueh
as he had always been granted. The
corrections made by him in the report OF
his former testimony were only such as
were essential TO accuracy, and such as
he, in common with other witnesses,
make in official reports of the steno-
grapter of the Rouse. While admitting
the general accuracy Of the Associated

that during his twenty years in Wash

of much importance in the House or SEN
