Show Snoi'iisn Affray.--On N w Year's night about U o'clock while the individual indi-vidual known as "Dutch duhn" was Jitanding at the bar of the Pailroad UaloOD, one Thomas Campbell stepped in at the front entrance and called out , to John to make rtady for a fight. The parties had been engaged in a wordy war some houn previously and were both armed. Each parly fired three shots; John fired first, without further damage than lodging pistol balls in the ceiling, the side walls and the counter of the saloon. One of the balls went through the front entrance and crossing the street enUred a window of Mr. Martin's store wilkin a few feet of the head of one of his children. At the fourth round John's pistol snapped and he ratdo a hasty retreat re-treat through the back door of the building. Judging from the ball marks in the saloon, bystander would have incurred a greater risk of being ehot than either of Ihe actors in the fnsilade. They absolutely missed each other by a greater distance than they were apart. Both parlies were arrested, ar-rested, examined yesterday before Justice Clinton and held to appear at the diftriot court in Jl.iiOO bonds. |
