ready to honor-such fellows, for ex-

interview of Gov. Hoadly by Sun

New York, en- route home from West

"The platform adopted is platform

and so transparentiy so that am sure
the people of Ohio will not tolerate its
false appeals. Take the first issue Of

to resent. A campaign on the bloody

THE FORKS RIOT.
More Particulars A bout the Fight Between
Erenchmen and River-Drivers.

More particulars have been learned of the
riot between Frenchmen and river-drivers at
The Forks on the Fourth. 1t was really a
fierce battle, such as has never before occur
red in this State. The following was related
by one of the men who engaged in the fight
1t was on the afternoon of the Fourth and
the battle commenced at . o'clock in the after
noon, lasting until ten o'clock in the evening.
Along the road which runs by the river a
large number of Frenchmen were passing in
teams on their way to obtain work in having.
They were freighted with produce. liquor
tobacco, etc. Thirteen river drivers were
the aggressors and out of pure wickedness
began to wavlav the Frenchmen and
rob them, tipping over their wagons, as they
passed along the road As was natural, the
Frencbmen resented this treatment and a
miniature war ensued. The owners of the
wagons, after fighting, would run, the
rivermen remaining masters of the
ground One cf the Frenchmen whipping
out his revolver, fired five shots at the
robbers. two of which took effect on one man.
ana at last accounts it was believed ne would
not recover. Upon this one of the attacking
force obtained a short-gun and it was at this
point that ''Bub" Bean was hit on the head
with an axe by one of the opposing
party. He not killed, how ever
"a reported One of the rivermen was so
scared on the discharge of firearms, that he
leaped down an embsnkment twenty feet
towards the river, receiving severe injuries.
Another was struck on the head with club
and was insensble, yesterday. When
the last charge was made by the
drivers. there were only three of
them, the remainder being all disabled, and
when the riot ended there WAS but one of
them on his feet. Over fifty men were stop
ped, and 100 bushels of oats, 80 gallons of
liquor and quantity of tobacco, were OBJ
tanned by the highwaymen. The drivers
were all arrested with the exception of one
who escaped
