Within the past day or two general rows
have taken place, one on Friday evening
and another last night. By the time the
parties are hauled over the Goals by His

from public life for an indefinite period.
The Friday night row originated between
Chas. Morris and Bird Smith in regard to
former trial which had been held at Bel
laire. The two men became so angry that
they resorted to smuggling each other.

sault him. After considerable skirmish-
ing Sauers received assistance and the two
men who attempted the assault were ar
rested. When taken TO the City Hall they
rave their names as VIM Mcpherson and
VIM Shockey. Mcpherson had hearing
before the Mayor to-day, and was fined SIS
and costs, while ShOckey'S case was post
poned until some time during the coming
week In the meantime, the two instiga-
tors OF brawl, Morris and Smith, fled, thus
escaping arrest. The second row took
place shortly after six o'clock last
