day, DR.. DUR and Dr. Posey were ar
raigned for fighting in Harrisburg Satur-

from certain remarks that DR.. DUR had
made concerning DIR. PoseY to Mr. Con

Smiths drug store, when DR. DUR
reiterated the statement that DR..
Posey's stock when closed by the
sheriff had run down to about
S2.25, and the lie was passed. Then
DIR. POsey struck Dir. DUR, knock
ing him down. it was proved in the
evidence that Or. DUR was trying to
draw his knife when he was struck and
the recorder therefore fined him s., re-
leasing DIR. Posey. The latter said that
IL had come to him previously that DIR
DUR was circulating the report that he
had made away with good part of his
stock before he was closed up by the
sheriff, and therefore he took the0matter
up. DR.. DUR denied that he had made
any such statement.

had done quite deal of work for some
ladies of the place, but when he would
submit proofs of the pictures they would
invariably prove a poor class Of work
For this reason, several ladies de-
clined 10 pay the photographer unless he
would give them another sitting. This he
refused TO do, at the same time using very
insulting language TO the ladies. OF
course that kind Of thing could not go on
very long. Aud, in fact, il didn't, as the
sequel shows. Thursday night a crowd
of masked and armed men called
on the peregrinating artist, carried
him to the woods, dashed HIM to
a log and proceeded to lay on about
100 good ticks with a rawhide whip
