Assault With Intent to Kill.

The people of Southern New Marl- boro. Mass, were thrown into state of excitement about 12 o'clock Saturday, June 12 by murderous assault on the person of Peter J. Prennez. an old Frenchman living in the Jim Shores house, The assault was made by Fred and Sher. Bailey who chanced to be passing with a jug of cider. They made call and shortly after treating around, Fred commenced the row. Just how 1t began or what was at first done l have not been able to ferret ont, but on the whole Sher. did most of the work, being melted by Fred. It is reported that they were both crazy, or fighting drunk and the old Frenchman was quite severely kicked and knocked about. Then an assault was made on Wm. Hor- ton, who took "leg bail for security, |" and thereby escaped a similar fate. Whilst Sher. was at Horton, old Peter went into the house locking tue door behind him. As soon as Horton had got out of stones throw fcr Bailey could not run after him) Bailey turned again for Peter, and being unable to follow him through the door, smashed in a window and gained recess to him in that way. It was in this psrt of the affray that razor was brought to bear Peter knocked the razor out of Sher's hand with chair round and escaped being butchered. The furniture, cha;ls, stove, clock, etc. were smashed beyond repair. Sheriff Bradley was summon ed on Sunday. No arrests have been made as yet, early Monday morning.
 Mir Bradley notified Selectman l. P. Reyes and@he at once sent for Dr Stock well, of New Marlboro, who faund Peter hurt inwardly an'l spitting blood. The kicking had somewhat injured one lung. Peter was taken to the town almshouse, Madison Adams, for re- pairs. The guilty parties have skipped to New York state
