Magistrate w. Frank Sharp on Mon
day afternoon, growing out of a dis
turbance at Carey's Camp, on Satur-
day night, during which West, who

tried to take possession of the
grounds.
West, in company with four
friends, two women and two men,
started a rumpus shortly after he
had arrived at the camp. He Is said
to have remarked I'm the presence OF
some people whom he did not know

of the grounds. He and his friends,
without any cause, 1t is said, called
Walter C. Evans, of Millsb0rO, for

of the circle, and within a few sec
ons, without cause or warning,

his clothes from him and scratched
him about the face. One Of the five'

lar officers ever doing police duty IN

the women, both of whom it is said,
are unknown.
