the Cook Station neighborhood, assaulted
q young Mr.. Mcconnell, son of Baylis
Mcconnell, in this city near Fretwell's
stable, cuffed him about, rubbed their pis-
tolls in his face and final lly stripped him of
his pants and forced him to leave in that
denuded condition. Mr.. Mcconnell
sought Chief Dillingham; who arrested the
parties, but released them on bond to ap-
pear before the Mayor Monday. They
failed to appear Monday, preferring to for
felt their bonds. It is eaid that the assault

Mcconnell will make State case Of the
affair.
