BILE. While at the bar Mo
Donald insulted colored walter
named James Crossley and when he
entered the billiard room Croasley was
ready for him The two men had been IN
the latter place but few minutes before
Mcdonald made an offensive remark
about the hotel mployos aud then he
had to defend him ~. As result he
WAS taken to tho home Of Mrs. Stidham,
No. S09 King street, and DR.. J p Wales
sent for.
Later in the day McDonsld's companion

and on November was arraigned before
Judge Ball on charge OF assault with
intent to commit murder. He was dis

A few days ago Sergeant Black learned

colored man was simply acting In self
defense. II is probable that Crospley
will be discharged rs was Olesver.
