 Bray took the man out and let him go, when he ran into John McGarry's black smith shop, calling upon Charles Flana- gan to save him. He, however, was pow erless against so many, so the stabber's punishment went on. He was knocked down by two or three of the crowd and, while lying on the floor, was kicked in the face. When they allowed him to es- cape, his face presented horrible ap- pearance, the blood flowing from 20 diff ferent wounds. One of our constables was present during the entire affray, but was as drunk as the rest. No arrests were made.-[T.
