The proposition advanced in the
Journal the other day to have some
sort of a celebration when the electric
road is opened to Winthrop is meeting
with much favor. Many citizens OF
Augusta who have been interviewed on
the subject are anxious that a move
ment be started at once to carry for
ward the proposition. That it would
be an eminently proper thing to do is
the general opinion. And now all that
IS needed is for some person to start
the ball aroliing. Such a recognition
OF the gigantic enterprise which pub
Ec-spirited men in this city have in
ausurated for Augustus welfare and
prosperity should be had, first, to show
that their efforts are appreciated, and
second, to give notice that still another
feather has been added to the city's
cap of glory.

POLICE COURT.
Levi Cyr Accused Of Assaulting
Peter Murray.
Mill Street Row Aired in Cours-An
lnvncibIs Witness.

An assault, which appeared from the
testimony given to be an exceedingly
brutal one, was aired in court. yester-
day afternoon. The case grew out OF
trouble which arose, Monday night. on
Mil street in which Peter Murray was
badly used UP. Murray has just come
here from Canada and is unable to I'M
derstand English and it required an in
terpreter in order that the court might
secure his testimony in the case. But
it required no interpreter to show that
he had met very bad usage. One eye
was closed and he kept it bandaged
most Of the time. The blood which had
dropped from the wound was spattered
all over his shirt front.
Levi Cyr was accused of having been
the cause OF all this trouble. Murray
was put on the stand to tell his story.
He claimed that there was no occasion
whatever for the assault He first
saw Cyr on Sand Hill in company
with a short fellow whom he did not
know. This short fellow wanted to
fight Murray but Murray did not care
to engage in the encounter. Cyr order
ed Murray off the sidewalk but no
blows were struck at that time.
Later they met in front of the house
occupied by Auguste Lajeunesse and
without any words Cyr, Murray said.
struck Murray in the mouth, knocking
him down. Murray arose, and after
threatening to have his assailant ar
rested went into Lajeunesse's house.
He soon came out and was met short
distance from the house by Cyr. who
coli t,af tla yx-.1- IN hp ar OIL
he wanted to be arrested for some
thing. so struck the man again, this
time in the eye Murray was knocked
down and while on the ground Cyr
struck him several times in the back Of
the head.
Two other witnesses corroborated the
testimony of Murray in regard to the
latter encounter. They also stated
that when taken from the ground Muir
ray was so weak from the pummelling
that be was unable to walk and was
carried into Lajeunesse's house.
At this point George G. Sheldon, at
torney for the defence. stated that he
must leave the city on business and
that he would waive further examina-
ton and appeal the case. Judge An
drews did not care to render his de-
cision, as he was unable to decide
whether he ought to take jurisdiction
or send the case up to the grand jury.
The case was postponed until Thurs
day morning. at which time the decis-
ion will be given and Cyr will furnish
bonds.
The court found an invincible witness
during the progress of the trial. Muir
ray stated that he had been drinking
considerably during Monday and that
he was intoxicated. The court asked
him where he got the liquor and he
stated that Auguste Lajeunesse got it
for him. Lajeunesse was sent for and
appeared. but he couldn't enlighten the
court He was sure of thing only
that he was drunk. Monday night. He
had had something to drink. but he
couldn't remember where it came from.
In fact he said that all the time from
Sunday until Tuesday morning was a
blank to him. He was dismissed by
the court.
