Barber-OuS.

John Guhman's saloon near the Sun
set depot was the scene of lively in
cident yesterday. A colored hack-driyer
and a barber held the dice box and
threw several times, when severe alter
cation ensued. The hack-driver retired
but soon afterwards he returned with
blood in his eye and an axe In his hand
proposing to do up the barber, but he
wasn't to be done up SO easily, so he
seized chair and raised it and stood on
the defensive. This seemed to make the
hack driver doubt the efficacy of his axe
and he went out ard got a big rock.
Then the barber TO equalize matters,
pulled his razor, and the backman came
to the conclusion that it was time to
60, and rushing of, he mounted his hack
and went In the same way as Tam
O'Shanter did when he thought the dell
was after him. leaving the barber in
charge of the situation.
