Arrests at Iackman.

Sheriff C. II. Smith arrived here,
Saturday of last week, with four eiti
zens of Jackman in his custody, all of
whom were subsequently arraigned
before Judge Bachelor.
OF the four men thus compelled to
visit to the Shire town, Geo. Labbey,
was perhaps the most CONSPICUOUS,
from his personal appearance and the
fact that his wrists were confined by
handouts. Labbey passes a portion
of each year at Jackman, coming
there from St. George, town in
County Beauce, twenty five miles be
yond the Canadian border. He had
previously created more, or less dis
turbance on these annual visits and
about one year since was arrested for
intoXication by Deputy Sheriff, Sui
Ivan Newton. Since that time Lab
hey has often said that he only wait
ed an opportunity to get Newton
where he could "do him up, and this
seemed to be the spirit in which he
greeted Jackman's Deputy Sheriff
when that gentleman attempted to
arrest Labbey last Friday. for Great
ing a disturbance at the Canadian
Pacific station in that town. Labbey
at first pretended to yield and to ac-
company the Sheriff without trouble,
but the next moment made vicious
attack upon him. In the struggle
both fell from the station platform to
the track, Mr.. Newton being render
ed unconscious by hitting his head
upon the rail. The crowd came to
the aid of the Sheriff and Labbey was
secured and turned over to Sheriff
Smith.
On arrival at Skowhegan he was
arraigned before Judge Bachelor and
the case was continued until next
Monday to allow Deputy Sheriff New
ton time to recover from his injuries
so that he may be present.
