gaining his freedom there can be no
doubt. as his wound would lot permit Of
bis jumping out Of the window, neither

big strapping fellow named Thomas
Ganey, who was large enough to eat hay,
applied an opprobrious epthet to Baxter
and was rewarded with pair OF black

Baxter for assault, and at the trial before
Justice Clark, on Monday, no evidence
showing cause for the assault was per-

the numerous rumors which are floating
around and which seem to have no ap-
parent basis OF truth.
