ing spectacle. Fully 40 men we're,
from the start to the finish, engaged in
the terrible encounter.
AS far as can BIO learned at least 20
persons were seriously injured. They
include Sylvester Carter, aged GO years,
five cuts on the back and six cuts on
the head, will probably die; James

The fight started between Flames
Carter and John Sprends, over very
trivial matter. Carter jostled Sprends
in passing, which led to angry words
and later to tight. Other men soon
came upon the scene, among whom
we're friends Of both of the combatants.
and within few minutes there wasYa
throng of fighting and cursing men,
armed with knives and clubs. which
were used with bloody effect. AT the
height OF the fight there was a cry of
''police" and patrol wagon filled with
| bluecoats came dashing down the hill.
Many of the participants in the battle
fled, but those who were rendered I'M
conscious or were too badly injured to
escape were piled in the patrol wagon
and taken to theapolice station. Others
we're removed in ambulances to tho
hospital. 1t is said that there is a
broken head to-day in nearly every
house on the hill.
