OUTRAGE IN IRELAND.
. ATTACK ON CIVIC GUARDS. By Telegraph—Tress Assn.—'Copyright. London, Dec. 30. A wild remote district in County Clare, where agrarian disputes and traffic in poteen between the mainland and the islands caused the authorities considerable trouble, was the scene of an attack on the civic guards patrol, which was ambushed late at night by assailants armed with rifles and shotguns. One guard was killed. The entire district is being scoured by civic guards and armed detectives, accompanied by troops equipped with machineguns. Poteen is the name given to whisky distilled in a small way privately or illicitly by the Irish peasantry.
