Railroad stations, Menfoe and Sad Effects of Owing a Bill The other day Mr. D. W. Mc Gregor and his son, Ernest, went up into Dr. Ryder’s office to col lect a bill or note. It seems that the amount was over due and the time for collection at hand, and they that they went up there to have a settlement, as Dr. Ryder had told them the day before to call the next day, and getting there and presenting the bill Dr. Ryder order them out, and upon their refusing to go, Dr. Constan- etine rushed in and struck Ernest over the eye, from which wound the blood commenced to flow and it took the physician several hours to get it stopped. Whereupon warrants were issued for Drs. Ryder and Constantine for assault and battery. We asked Dr. Constantine for his side of the trouble, and he says: That he was in his room at work when he heard considerable noise; that he heard Dr.*Ryder tell some parties that his wife was critically ill, and that he would be compelled to leave right then with the physician, and that he would discuss the matter another time, but that the parties kept up a continual noise and fuss and refused to go. The he went in and advised them to go, as the noise was ge tting boisterous he intended to bring matters to a close. Dr. Ryder took out his watch and gave them one minute within whiob to get out, and if they didn’t do it by that time, they would proceed to put them out. As ladies were coming up the steps to protect the offloe they proceeded to do so and in the scuffle Ernest got hurt. Dr. Ryder tried to stop the flow of blood by bathing the wound. The Courier simply gives both sides of the case, as told us, and the courts will settle it. We re gret the occurrence. The blood has stopped and Ernest will get over it without any severe conse quences. The editor of this paper en joyed his first snap beans today. They were raised by his wife.
