Mark MacLean has pleaded not guilty to having a chain as an offensive weapon.
Alex Bruce further denies assaulting a man by throwing a brick at him and striking a dog with a bat.
Alex and Steven Bruce also deny acting in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting threats of violence and damaging property.
Rueben Bruce (20), of Huddart Street; Miller (37), Alex Bruce (47) and MacLean (39), all of Glamis Road; and Steven Bruce (46), of Waverley Road, all Wick, had their not-guilty pleas confirmed at Wick Sheriff Court.
Their trial could not proceed because of the non-appearance of one of the accused.
It was rescheduled for August 8.
