Au Early Morning Scrap.
-Four of the employees of the pile
driver now at work at the head of the
bay came to town Wednesday for a
little time, and proceeded to enjoy
themselves. BY midnight they had
reached the condition of desiring to
take the town and the attention of the
nightwatchman was called to them.
Two were taken to bed, and while TAX
ing the other two, Chris Usher and
Noah Myers, they attacked Officer
Burnett in the Office of the Commercial
Hotel, the latter using knife. After
lively tussel with them, assistance
came, and both men were taken to Jail.
There are several slashes in Bur-
nett's clothes from the knife-wielder,
Myers, as a reminder of the encounter.
Next morning the men were taken be-
fore police Judge Covill and fined $40
and costs, which they paid. On their
release Sheriff Caldwell was in read
ness with a warrant for Myers on
charge OF assault 10 commit murder,
and he was bound over to appear be-
fore the Superior Court. So the ex-
perience will probably prove rather
costly for the amount of fun, and the
lesson has been learned that law and
order must be observed in Shelton.

Well, we'll; now the owners of that
traction engine which fell through a
bridge on Waddell creek several
months ago, while the structure was
undergoing repairs and with notice
displayed that it was unsafe, want to
1nulct the county out of about 81, 800 to
make good their loss. 1t seems that
almost the first thing thought of now
a-days, when a person sustains dam
age to property or limb, is to look
about for somebody to saddle bill of
damages upon. Besides the damage
to the thresher, Butcher, its owner,
holds out his spoon for $50 more"
