FELLED TO THE GROUND.
Outcome of War of Words on WI
nOOski Avenue.

The quiet of North Winoosk avenue
was disturbed yesterday by "A dsEraceful
row between two men, one of whom was
finally knocked to the ground and rem
dered senseless for several minutes. The
two men went north from Pearl street
and were quarreling all the way until
they were opposite G. n. Kings residence.
Here the larger man turned and struck
the smaller one on the head, telling him
to the walk.
The man who struck the blow was fol-
lowed from the scene and said his name
was Charles Gagnon and that he lived at
No % Rose street. The smaller man re-
gained consciousness only after medical
treatment and was later taken to the
Mary Fletcher hospital. lie said his name
was Nelson and that he lived at the Lake
View House.
The explanation of the affair given by
Gagnon was that Nelson had been calling
him names until he could stand it no
longer The blow struck by Gagnon cut
a deep cash in Nelson's head.

festivities of the day began early in the

headed by Shermans Military band,
formed in line in front of their rooms
on Main street and proceeded to North
Winooski avenue, to Pearl street, to
Church street, to College street and
thence to the station, where the crowd
boarded a train at $50 o'clock arriving
at the park about an hour afterwards,
A number of people took the noon train
for the island and arrived there in time
to partake of the bake. which was served
in tent erected for the purpose, All who
attended the bake speak highly of the
up-to-datc manner in which 1t was served.
After everybody had been served the
Howard Opera House orchestra took their
places in the pavilion and during the re-
maindcr of the day furnished music for
dancing. The crowd returned to this city
on two different trains. The first train
arrived here shortly after eight O'Clock,
while the last train, which carried a good
ma iority Of those who had the affair in
charge, returned home shortly after nine
o'clock
