Show Becoming Jocose. Mr. Burns, of Burns &. McShane, late of the Dclmonico, is growing extremely ex-tremely jocose and slightlybelligerent. Not content with refusing to pay his i debts he concluded last night to settle one account with his "bunch of fives," and hanging around the gate leading to the Hekald editorial rooms, he attacked at-tacked one of the proprietors of this journal in prize ring style. But the gentleman attacked having no intention inten-tion of a street fight with the individual individ-ual merely warded ofi" the blows, and caught the fellow round the arms holding him until an opportunity offered of-fered to gain an entrance into the Hbralp office. Heretofore the pistol has been the weapon leveled against the editors of tho Herald, but this playful person resorts to the less mortal mor-tal but equally disgusting weapons which prize ring bullies use. |
