Manchester Bureau, Richmond Times,
No. 1902 Hull Street.
A dispute over a dog, which started last
night in the bar-room of Elijah Davis, on
Third and Hull Streets, led to a bloody
fight between William Banes and Talbot
Skinner, two weil-known young men OF
the First Ward. Skinner, it seems, got
mad because his dog was on such friendly
terms with Banes as to allow himself to
be picked up by him, and from this the
trouble started which resulted in BaneS
head being badly cut Over the eye a long
cash was made and a scalp wound was re-
ceived which required several stitches to
close it. Skinner came off with two black
eyes. Banes swore out a warrant for
Skinner, charging him with assault, upon
which he was arrested, but Inter bailed by
Squire Jordan for his appearance in the
Polae Court this morning.
COUNCIL MEETING.
The Manchester Council held a brief ses-
sion last night. The only business being

the Street Committee, as it has been in the
past.
