are about these
After the speaking was over, a Mr. g. Daw-
son, of Moniteau county, and Mr.. Terry had
some angry words, growing out of q political
discussion, and, it is said, drew their knives but
were prevented from fighting. Mr.. Dawson was
very abusive of Mr.. Terry, but was taken away.
Shortly after this difficulty, Mr.. B. Dawson and
. one or two others walked up to Mr.. Terry and
ordered him to leave the place, or something to
that effect. Terry replied that he was free
man and would not hurt any man if they would
let him alone. Dawson then struck at him, but
was prevented from hitting him. Terry then
retreated, when Dawson picked up a rock
weighing some three or four pounds, and
threw at him, hitting him on the back of the
head and knocked him speeches.. DR.. Patter
son was then sent for and dressed the wound,
and had Mr. Terry conveyed home, where he
died in one week after receiving the blow, and

A justice of the peace being present, directed
the constable to arrest Dawson, but, we are
told, was prevented from doing SO by being told
he could not retain him in custody without a
warrant We hope Dawson will be made to pay
the just demands of the law against such
beastly assaults upon unotfending men, lief
