60 il is charged, made himself very DISAGREE
able TO those at work unloading the coal,
abused all concerned, threatening some, IL
ia said with bodily harm. During the trou-
b,a q colorad man named John Dorsey be-
came exasperated at Ricards conduct, ana
prapuling with the latter threw MN uoWh
The hold Of the schooner, from which the
mate soon emerged with gun making nlio-
eelr more obnoxious than before. a luIi u
,olly ;n,orvpnpd in the disturbance, during
which m, work of unloading was prosecut-
on vigorously, until Ricards reappeared on
deck and ordered those at work to cease
oneratious, and take down the fall, saying
the vessel was leaking and he desired to
have her pHmped out. His excuse Tor his
conduct this time was that the fall was in
the way of the pump. Messrs. Hewes 4

work, or to remove the fall, when the mate,
in liL OF anger, cut the rope, thereby
bringing the work of unloading TO a stand

went 10 police headquarters and sNore out
a warrant against Dorsey for assault, but the

ing was renewed. The affair created con-
siderable excitement around the wharvcs.
