Saturday Row.

Some little excitement was caused
on Queen street Saturday evening in
the vicinity of the Merchants and
Farmers bank.
The usual Saturday delegation of
mountain people had congregated on
the pavement and were discussing the
topics of the day. The argument be-
came somewhat heated and one OF the
participants, who had become some
what excited, began fourishing his
fist and struck one of his opponents
in the face couple of times and then
skipped.
Officer PIT Ger then arrived upon the
scene and arrested the one that had
been struck; but seeing that he was
not to blame for the fight, he released
him and started in search OF the one
who had struck the blows, bnt he wa;
nowhere to be found.
