 Nathan Chatfield, colored, of Wood bury, was placed under arrest yester- day by Sheriff Frank Peck, charged with breach of the peace and intoXlca- tion. Chatfield is about 8 years old. The prisoner was brought before Jus tice of Peace Dayton, who found him guilty of both charges and adminis- tered a fine of $7 and costs, amounting to $21.S6, which was paid by friend. Charges against the WoOdbury colored man were brought by Adam Dauch, q farmer. According to testimony Chat field, in company with another dusky hued young man, went to Dauch'S farm early in the evening and exc cuted a war dance in front of the place, besides giving several versions of the KickapOo war cry, frightening the female inmates of the house by their noise and actions. Both were intoxicated to boistefous extent, ad- vanced to the house and demanded ad- mittance. which was refused and .he doors locked. Chatfield failed to com prehend at the time of his unexpected rebuff why the addition of his pres ence in the society of Dauch's family was not desired and started to give voice to his anger by the free use of rocks or cobble stones upon the house. Finally both colored men disappeared down the road. Chatfield's compan- ion was lost track of yesterday and is thought to be in hiding for the pur- pose of evading arrest. Sheriff Peck is doing good work in bringing such characters to realizing sense of the law.
