A street fight Of large proportions
took place Saturday afternoon In Dur
yea. Constable Mathew Beam, of Old
Forge, attempted to quell it and was
severely used up. He fired three or

of Squire Reese and swore out a war
rant for John Willis and others. BY
the others he means all in the gang.
One of the combatants is John Pryor,
who just returned from Philadelphia
after serving seven years in the peni-
tentiary for the murder of a man
named Graham. He signalzed his re-
sumption of liberty by getting drunk
and fighting. Others in the gang were
John Lambert, John Burke and Mar
tin Langan.
The difficulty in which the constable
became mixed was at Naler's hotel
The proprietor called on him as an
officer of the law to clear his saloon.
The crowd was drunk. noisy, quarrel
some, and as soon as Beam began to
weed them out, beer glasses flew right
and left. The scene of operation was
transferred to the street i'm a few
minutes, and il was there the blows
were showered upon the officer. Before
hostlities ceased seven or eight men
had bruised heads.
