A Bad Row in Milroy.

There was a bad row over in Milroy Tp., last Friday, but the exact details of which are so obscured by many contradictory reports. It seems that Al May and his son, from White county, have had some corn stolen and they thought they traced it to old Mr. Dluzak’s, in Milroy. The Mays went to Dluzak’s and attempted to arrest him, without warrant or an officer. He resisted arrest, some say with a sickle or scythe be was sharpening, and the Mays hit him on the head with a hammer. It is also stated that Mrs. Dluzak was knocked down during the fight. They then put him in a wagon and took him to Wolcott, where it is stated be proved his innocence. It is further reported that the Mays are under heavy bonds for injuring Dluzak. Accounts differ as to how badly he is hurt, but according' to some statements his jaw is broken and his skull fractured, and his death likely to ensue.

But many of these statements lack cofirmation.
