Saturday about night last 10 post office to Todd’s corner was the scene of a high old time, and between two and three hundred menand bovs gathered on the streets to see Henry Truby practically illustrate that he could spend just om hour in paint- ing the town red without being inter- rupted by the nightwatch. The preliminaries tor the grand out door exhibition were arranged at the skating rink by Henry being dumped out the door by the proprie tors ot the rink torentering the room, which was well filled with young ladies, in a half intoxicated condi tion and demanding a pair of skates for the evening. This «ction of the rink Proprietors in expelling him trom the room su wounded his honor that he immedi- ately issued his proclamation of war, and raising the black flag, re-entered the rink and proceeded to turn the ar blue and make Rome howl. The Messrs. McBrides, proprietors ot ‘he tink, seeing that Henry had blood in his eve and that their young lady patrons were scared out of their wits gathered a monkey wrench and pro- ceeded to eject hin from the room, During the scuffle Henry received a severe cut on the head which caused the blood to tlow treely and paint him up just nght tor the open air concert which followed. Seeing that he had an audience on the streets of two or three hundred, Henry proceeded to carry out the programme of the evenings enter- tainment by running up the street Knocking «inthe glass fronts on his wavy At the corner ot Todd’s sa- loon he walked into the middle ot the street and entertamed the crowd with a halt hours speech. During all this tme a hundred voices was calling for the potice, nightwatch, detectives anything, but low there came no answer. One naughty boy in .he crowd said the nightwatch had gone fishing, another said look im room 17, still another said they might be found at the church con- Cert, another said it may be they are asleep at Alderman Geo. Smith’s livery stable,and still another bad boy said it may be they are out at the de- Pot riding on the turn table, and thus the tun went on, and the crowd 1n- creased in numbers until the whole street. was blockaded and pandamon- ium reigned supreme. Finally a small boy was given 25 Cents to go after Morgan, who lives in the south part of town and five or six were sent in search of the night- watch. The boys say they paraded the streets and raised everybody within two blocks except the night- watch. A number ot parties have informed us that they were waked up and greatly annoyed by the noise, while Charlie Lewis says the racket got so hot around his place ot busi- ness he came very near tinging the fire bell. Eve witnesses to this whole affair tell us that this state of affairs went on for an hour betore the nightwatch put in an appearance, and when they did come they pounced upon Truby and while he was down and four or five men had hold ot him Decatur Smith drew his billy and struck him a terrible blow on the head, the sound of which was heard nearly ahundred yards distant.
