in which il was unsafe to be at large and
the assertion is made that fully a score OF
men were held Up and robbed at pistol
points in various sections OF the place. The
shooting occurred about o'clock this morn
ing and the story OF its origin told by
Paler, the tavern keeper, is the only one
yet heard. He says that number OF Po-
landers were drinking in his place. when
party OF young Americans entered. After
much drinking they began to taunt the for
eigners. This led to a quarrel in which
the Americans assumed the aggressive and
set upon the Polanders with canes. The
first blow had no sooner been struck than
the foreigners drew their guns and bullets
began to fly. The Americans beat q retreat.
The shooting was so general and promi6cu-

fatal shots. Lambert was carried away by
