-Four Wheeling bloods, whose names we
refrain from mentioning, finding time
hanging heavy on their hands Sunday
afternoon, concluded to repair to the
generally peaceful and orderly city OF Mar
tins Ferry and, as they expressed It, paint
the town red and paralyze the inhabit-
ants" How well they succeeded is related
below:
Procuring q two horse carriage the party
drove around by way of Bridgeport, and
alighting at the lower end Of town the quar-
tette started up street in quest OF amuse-
ment, taking in all the saloons en- route.
As a matter of course. their frequent
smiles" soon began to tell on them, and
toward evening they became much intoxi-
Gated and very disorderly and quarrelseme.
Two of them managed 10 get back to the
carriage, where they went to sleep, while
the other two raised such a disturbance
that the police were compelled to take
them in. They agreed to go home and put
up $40 for their appearance yesterday
morning.
Instead of going home, however. the
party went up street, just above the Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh railroad depot, and
there raised another raw of immense pro-
portions. The skirmish is reporteda as be-
ing very lively for a little while, quite a
number of blows being struck. The police
again put in an appearance and gobbled up
the belligerants the second time. They
were placed in the lookup, and put up an
other $50 as security, on which they were
allowed to 60 home, being, however, de
tanned a sufficient length OF time 10 allow
them to sober up. Two Martins Ferry
boys were arrested at the same time for
