ONE PERRY who said he hailed from
Ogdensburg, struck" this town Monday
evening and made himself generally often
sive by his efforts to disturb its peaceful
ness. Policeman Demeritt interviewed him
and weighty argument followed, when the
fellow, who weighed some two hundred
pounds, jumped upon him and bore him to
the ground. Digger" soon reversed the
order of exercises and when the fellow
found himself upon his back he determined
to stay there, and all the officers efforts tC
make him rise were unavailing. Finding
that he could not drag him alone, Mr.. De
merritt called several men to his assistance
and the man was seized by "all fours " and
borne off to the Jail. Tuesday he was fined
five dollars and costs.
