FIGHT WILD AND WOODY
Crowd Watches It as They Usu-
ally do a Dog Fight.

A dog fight most people would have
called it, that is the conflict that hap
pened on Third street about 1880
O'Clock Sunday forenoon. The usual
crowd that takes interest in dog
fight and will run block anytime was
on hand. Richard Saulsberry, colored
was we'll filled with booze and had a
very bad mouth. His tongue as vile
and he applied all sorts Of epithets to
Robert Martin, colored, whose home
is in Petersburg and whose reputa.
tion ash peacea BILE fellow is good.
The object Of his wrath showed no
disposition to resent his treatment
and walked away. but saalsberry and
his companion, George Miller, colored'
pursued him and in front OF Will Nus
baum's store, Miller struck Martin
across the face with a whip. The
latter turned upon bis assailants ana
Miller fled like wild man from the
scene and has not been seen since
Martin chased him as far as the
Traders bank and saulsberry and the
crowd followed. Very bravely did
SauIsberry sail into Martin but the
latter laid him sprawllng with a single
blow Of his list. He was proceeding to
beat him into a jelly, when Louis
Deison and ]. S. Brown separated
them and took them To Jail.
In police court next morning Mayor
Grille gave Saulsberry days in jail
and discharged Martin.
Saulsberry claimed that Martin haa
threatened to whip his brother.

sentative of DuSs, tine newest musical
genius who is soon to appear here with

rived in the city this morning with
tidings of his stars success in other

aYou, Of course, know all about Mr..
Duss, remarkable triumph in New

nearly half a year," said Mr.. Brad
ford to a reporter, land have only to
saw that his farewell concert in the
great eastern metropolis was as i'm
portant an event in musical circles as
was his introductory concert at the
Metropolitan Opera House last May.
The farewell New York programme
tl2Sth consecutive nightj was given at
the Madison Square Garden Amphi-
theatre Sunday evening, September
2sth, in the form Of a popular musical
Jubilee. and vast audience of twenty
two thousand people assembled to bid
eood.bys to the famous bandmaster.
"Win Duss bring here the same
band as he conducted in New York;"
asked the reporter.
Most assuredly" replied the adj
vance agent, "and this is point /
wish YOU would lay full stress upon.
Mr.. Duss is man OF honor, as we'll as
one Of ability, as his social and bust
ness reputation Of the past twenty
years will amply establish. Not a
single change has been made in the
organization. twill come here with
the same number and individuality of
bandmen and the same number of vo-
cal and instrumental soloists. This
much Mr.. Duss and Manager Johnston
guarantee. Whatsuccess the organi-
zation will meet with in your city, is a
matter for future discussion, but it is
safe to say that II New York's tickle
ldiences win patronize DuSs for over
,ne hundred consecutive nights, it
stands to reason that your townSpeo.
pie will not be disappointed in the en-
tgtg'pment.
