yiously had dangerous experience al

The first named said he had been
wantonly assaulted by several men, one
Of whom produced pistol and threatened
TO kill him. and his brother Albert, who
went to the rescue, asserted that he had
been knocked down and $24 taken from
him. Upon information received by the
police they subsequently arrested young
man named Edward Naples on the
charge of assault and highway robbery.
The case came before Justice Cation in
the Police Court this morning, when
Elijah Quarterback told confused story
OF the assault, and claimed that bar
tender, who had been cited to appear as
as a witness. drew the pistol and
threatened his life. He could not iden-
tify Naples as one Of his assallants.
Albert Quarterback said be was IN the
neighborhook talking with several men
at the time and hearing the disturbance
went TO the corner where he was knocked
down and $24 taken from his pocket.
The bartender in his statement said that
Elijah Quarterback entered the saloon in
q drunken condition, was refused liquor
and subsequently elected from the place.
He returned, and was again showed into
the street and the door closed. He
could add nothing further TO the case, as
be said he knew nothing OF the
alleged assault and robbery. Later
another witness was procured who posi-
lively identified Naples as one OF the
assailants. The case was continued I'M
til tomorrow morning.
