Matters came to head on Thurs- day last when the two parties assembled for a settlement of their dispute. The police, however, arrived on the scene in time to stop the fight and arrested the de-. fendant with an iron bar in his possession. He was the only man armed.

It was stated by the officer that the defendant, except for his pre- sent lapse, was a respectable farm- er and well-known in the district.

His Worship imposed a fine of $5, intimating that he thought that that would meet the case.
