complished by taking his horse by the
reios. MIR. AIdrich insisted upon his
right to use the highway so long as he
was peaceaole, aud was s,rsnuonsly
opposed to being stopped /; whersupon
Mr.. Rae, thinking it not Incompatible
with his dignity, threw stone with
extreme violence, and hit Mr.. Aldrich
on his head, which caused the blood to
flow freely. AT seeing such harsh
measure resorted to, one in the gang,
supposed to be Tylor, from Indian
Stream, discharged musket at Al
drich, but without effect. By this
time the tumals had called forth quite
a number. Aldfich having within his
reach a cutlass, thought things had
been carried far enough to justify him
in free use of it. Accordingly he
struck Mr.. Rae over the head with it,
which produced a wound not material
ly differing from the one he bad just re.
ceived from the hand of Mr.. Rae, ex :.
cspt that il was done rather smoother.
During the fray it is understood sever
al muskeis were discharged, but hap.
PLY without any other effect than
wounding one person in the thigh, not
considered dangerous. The name of
this person is Young, who resides in
Hereford. To finish recording this
much to be regretted scene, must say
that MIR. Aldrich, with the assistance
of few others, succeeded in carrying
Mr.. Rae to Canaan, a distance of a.
bout two miles, where his wound was
dressed, and he respectfully treated,
notwithstanding it is believed that the
present difficulties in relation 10 Indian
Stream territory are produced through
his management & misrepresentation.
Mr.. AIdrich resides at Indian Stream,
and is one whom the Provincial Gov
eminent has undertaken to protect a.
gainst the civil authorities Of New
Hampshire.
