Daniels and Tom Wallace abusing the
Hatfsld's and quarrel ensued. McUoy
attempted to arrest Wallace a fight took
place This resulted in Captain Hatfield
arresting Mccoy, and when Mc0oy at

Salesman for a New York House
 Assaulted and Robbed of HIS Cola
 Watch and Chain.
 J. E. Vandevere, travelling salesman for Taylor & Co.,, undertakers of New York, was assaulted near Trowbridge square last night and robbed of his gold watch and chain.
 Mr. Vandevere upon arriving in the city yesterday went to the Pavilion hotel. Last night, not having anything else to do, he went to the Union depot to get time table. A young man, a complete stranger, stepped up to him and they commenced chatting.
 The stranger told him he had just got off an incoming train and was travelling sales- man. This statement struck responsive chord in Vandevere, and as he thought he was talking to 8 drummer he felt completely at home. Finally the stranger, who did not give his name, suggested that they take . walk. They went up Po1tsea street and the stranger took Vandevere in a'roundabout way to Trowbridge square.
 On the way Vandever took out his watch to zee what time it was. It was an elegant and valuabls gold hunting case watch which he had bought on only few days before.
 At the strangers suggestion on nearing the square they crossed to the shady side of the street. Suddenly the stranger pushed Vandevere against the side of tree with his left arm and with his right hadd caught hold of Vandevere's chain, He gave 1t tremen- dous jerk, which tore out the buttonhole that the chain was fastened to and the thief thus got watch and chain.
 The highwayman took to his heels Mir VandeYers pursued him for several blocks and then lost sight of him. MT. Vandevere notified the police at once.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 1s.-Winter & Co.,, of this city, have put into the hands of their agenks the first copies of the life of Sheridan. This is the book which has caused so much newspaper comment of late, and which certain interested parties have sought to discredit in advance. The book was written by Colonel Frank A. Burr, an intimate friend of the deceased general, and in it's preparation and revision very valuable aid was rendered by General Sheridan him self. Generals Sheridan, were he living, would not hesitate to discountenanes such attempts to injure tho worthy undertaking of his old friend the author.
