Assault and Battery.

Yesterday afternoon, fracas took
place in the Chamberlain Hotel, in this
city, of which Mr.. George w. Lasher is
the proprietor. 1t appears that one
Samuel Delamater has been boarding
at the Chamberlain for several weeks
past, and has not been as prompt with
mis- payments as the rules of the estab-
lishment provide nor as the proprietor
expects. The latter. yesterday, sought
to have the back account squared up,
and requested Mr.. Delanater to pony
up" whereupon the delinquent de-
manded q statement of his bill, which
was duly furnished; but the guest
claimed it was e1orbitant. He freely
expressed this opinion to the host,
who. of coarse, Indignantly denied the
accusation, and words ensued which
finally developed into heavy blows on
both sides, Mr.. Lasher. according to all
accounts. getting the worst of the guar
rel. having received considerable bat
tering. The city marshal was called to
the scene and placed Mr.. Delamater
under arrest. He will appear before
diary. Magistrate Dee to-day.

grain, who was in such beastly dirty
condition, on account of having rolled
around some of Ogden's well-kept back
alleys, that the jailor had to turn the
hose upon him., This severe remedy
succeeded in taking off the filth, but was
unavailing so far as having a SOLDERING
effect was concerned, hence 1t was i'm
practicable to bring him before the
magistrate yesterday. He will there
fore confront His Honor today.
