bloody battle took place yesterday after
noon between the employees of the New

and the natives Of this usually quiet viii

wounded, some perhaps fatally.

not end until nearly 4o'cloek.. Those
three hours were the most memorable in

frenzy, and hostilities were so fierce that
the board Of selectmen, the rulers OF the
town, had to call upon Governor Russell

The battle will compare, according to eye
witnesses, with any Of the memorable
riots in more metropolitan localities.
hs Fathers and Brothers
left their homes and places of business and
rushed TO the battle-ground, while women
were left at home behind barricaded doors
and windows trembling with fear.
The damage TO private property Is
counted in the thousands. Windows and
public buildings were riddled with stones
and other missiles. Among the buildings
which were thus attacked was Uncle
Sans postofiice, over which Postmaster
Groce presides.
Merchants on the streets stood mt the en-
trance Of their stores, armed with revol-
vers, and threateningly viewed the. situa-
ton. W
The cause of the trouble dates back
more than o year, and is the result of
war between the Rockland and Arlington
