number of young men from near Albany, this

in a case before Judge Monks, after completing
their business repaired to Miligan's saloon,
where, after drinking few rounds, they en-
gagged in game of ten-pins. A dispute arose
between the proprietor and the boys and but
few words were exchanged until fight began
which became general, and beer glasses and
bottles flew pFomiscuousy about the room, sew
eral of the parties engaged being ser

heved to be over; but about IL o'clock the visitors
were hunted down by the employees Of the
saloon and the fight renewed, with stones and
glasses, the Albany men being most unmerci-
