Over in Martins Ferry yesterday al
ternoon several business men were
standing in front OF the St, Clair hotel
commenting on the brick piled up on
the street. j, W. Lane, the plumber
who was near by supposed that they
meant their remarks for him and walk
ing up to them, said that they were not
in favor ofpublic improvements or they
would not talk the way they were.
Cant II. W. Smith said to Lane, ave
were not talking to you" and John O,
Haynes also said to him something
about his name not even having been
mentioned, whereupon Lane caught
Haynes around the neck with his left
arm and struck him with his right hand,
Thetwo men fell to the ground with
Lane on top,
Health Officer Iindemuth rushed up
to them and with the assistance OF one
or two others pulled Lane of, after
which Haynes swore out warrant Tor
the arrest OF the assailant.
HAYNES was member OF the citizens
committee TO look after the sewering OF
Hanover street and the alley between
Fourth and Fifth, for which Lane had
the contract and over which there has
been an interesting controversy.
Later in the evening Lane gave him
self up in Bridgeport, and was fined $40
