A RIVER ST. GET-TOGETHER
Necessitated Prying Apart, But Every
thing Was Serene To-day.

What is said to have been free for
all brawl on River street yesterday att
ernoon had its termination in city court
oday when Alburne Cleveland of "a
River street was arraigned before Judge
II. w. Scott ON a breach OF peace charge
and George Peters, who says he is an
East Montpelier farmer just at present,
was asked to face the court on an in
toxcaton charge. Peters, an elderly
man, appeared in court with the eye
marks of struggle still plainly in view.
For all of his face one might think he
had been tampering with an octopus or
trip hammer. He pleaded guilty to
subsequent offense and made arrange
ments to pay a fine of SIS and costs of
$40.
Cleveland said he guessed he was gull
ty enough of the peace breaking charge
and he also made provision for paying
ehe minimum So fine and costs totaling
81 09 Much of that element of bitter
ness which marked the relations OF
Cleveland and Peters yesterday seemed
to have vanished to-day and this morn
ing the respondents intimated that they
would go in together on any arrange
ments to pay the fine if the Judge would
only give them chance. On the com
plant Of Grand Juror Hugh H. Carpen

on Cleveland and Peters was taken into
custody by Officer Harry Gamble

Jumping at the Mills & Co. granite plant

block which fell on him from height
OF eight feet. The nature of the aeei-
dent was peculiar.
DOYLE was pushing a one-ton stone
into polishing bed when the chain sup
porting the stone snapped and the sud
den release of the weight caused the
block supporting the chain to jump out
of position on the track and fall. This
block is what struck Doyle.
Mr.. Mills. proprietor OF the plant, was
working nearby. and he assisted the in.
iured workman to the office. after which
an ambulance was summoned. Doyle
was taken to Heaton hospital. He is
