A Row.

A regular, full-blown, city saloon on Front Street, last Saturday evening about seven o’clock. 'i'll© proprietor of the saloon, Mr. John Baldus, was beaten so severely about the head and face fts to keep him in bed ever since. Mrs. Baldus interfered to help her husband, and had nearly half the hair pulled out of her head and both ear-rings pulled through her ears, besides having her head badly bruised. Both wetos dragged out into the street. Young John Baldus, a one-armed boy, was hit over the pose and got a black eye. And Peter Baldus, a one-legged boy, was struck over the back of his neck with something harder than a feather pillow. The saloon furniture was pretty badly smashed up, oiul considerable quantities of blood, mud, etc., were sprinkled and spread and scattered about, on the bar, the walls, the tables, the floor, and the doorcasings.
