Row INA SToRE.-A row occurred
in an upper King street store yesterday
afternoon which caused some excite
ment and which it was feared would
end in bloodshed. A young man liv-
ing in the neighborhood had contracted
bill at the store, and being unable to
pay it had deposited a set of harness as
collateral. The harness was worth
more than the amount he owed the
storekeeper, and the latter paid Il Q
difference and receipted the bill. Yes.
terday, however, the former owner Of
the property desired to recover the
same and called at the store for that
purpose. The storekeeper had dis
posed of the harness in the meantime
to third party and was holding it at
his store until applied for. He there
fore refused to return it, and war OF
words between the two men ensued.
during which both became much ex-
cited. The disappointed young man
left the premises vowing vengeance
and later returned with his father and
brother. The storekeeper, seeing
himself outnumbered and the trio be-
coming menacing, drew pistol and as
sumed the defensive A policeman ar
rived upon the scene about this time
and drove off the attacking party.
