DESPERATE FIGHT

|fah q man lch0 ac0uldn't pay tdres-
The York county papers give the particu-
lars of a desperate encounter with man
named Daniel Strong, in Hellam township,
who is a property holder, but has not
paid his taxes for seven or eight years.
Whenevera tax collector made his appear
ance, Strong would drive him from his
premises, and ooficer had yet succeeded in
arresting him. On Wednesday of last week
officer Waring proceeded to Strong's place to
arrest him. Meeting him near his house, he
told him his errand, and at the same time
attempted to reason with him, peaceablv,
and it would be best for all concerned. At
this Strong sent TO his house for q pistol
and then commenced the German
language, and abusing the officer in most
shameful manner, thinking, no doubt, by
this means to intimidate him and drive him
away The officer again tried TO persuade
Strong to 90 with him peaceabiy, but with
out avail. He then told him that he would
call on the following day, and then he
would have to go. He then left Strong
and returned to York. The next day, accor-
ding to promise, Mr.. Waring, accompanied
by officer Hibner, again paid Strong visit,
and found him and his son Jacob in a
field close by their residence, making fence,
with two loaded guns beween them As
soon as they observed the officers-which
was not until they were but few feet from
them-they made for their guns, but before
they could raise them from the ground the
officers also took hold, and now a terrible
melee ensued-the elder Strong and War
ing striving for the mastery of one gun,
and Jacob Strong and Hibner striving for
the other. In the scuffle which ensued,
the gun which Jacob had hold of was bro
ken to pieces, and rendered useless. War
ing succeeded in wrenching the gun from
the old man, fired it off and stood it aside.
In the mean time, Mrs. Strong and daugh-
ter Susanna, made their appearance in the
field of action, and fought like tigers.
After one gun was broken and the other
fired off, the two men endeavored to drive
the officers away with stones, clubs, fists,
&c. but they Counted without their hosts"
for this time they had men to deal with
who would not be driven away The off,
GERS, in self-defence, were compelled to
knock them down. Hibner succeeded in
getting his man down first, and commenced
to tie him. The old man by some means
managed to get away from Waring, seized
a pick axe and raised it to strike Hibner.
when Waring again took hold of him,
threw him down and proceeded to tie him,
Whilst they were being tied the women
rushed to the rescue; the old woman took
the gun, which had been left by the fence,
and struck Waripg with it (who caught
it on his arm) and broke it to pieces. The
daughter struck Hibner with a stone on the
head, causinga painful wound. The parties
finally submitted, and the old man, his son
and daughter were brought to York and
committed to prison,

HORRID DEATH OF A CHILD.

Between one and two clock last Satur-
day afternoon, while the mother was at mar
ket little boy four years old, who had
been left to take care of himself, met with
horrible accident and death The child's
father, George Reibling, lives in Spring
Garden Township, about one-fourth mile
from Loucks' mill. The father, assisted
by another German man, was engaged in
burning brushes, which had been collected
at different places in the field, and several
stacks burning at once While so engaged,
it was discovered that the child, who had
been at one of the brushheaps, was burn
ing in blaze. Reibling rescued the child,
whose stockings and clothing prevented any
serious bodily injuries from the burning
Provoked at the child for his mishap, the
father took him to the house, where there
were no inmates, and throwing the child in
bed, departed to his work in the field
Some minutes elapsed, when the German
who assisted Reibling, directed the attention
of the latter to the cloud of smoke coming
out of the house. On reaching the build
ing, it was found that the child, still in
the bed, was completely surrounded by fire,
with all his clothes in a blaze. When
rescued, the child was burned almost to a
crisp-the head completely bare of hair.
Four or five hours after this event, death
gave relief to its sufferings. As may be i'm
agined, Reibling threw the child in the bed,
while the fire from the burning in the
field was unextinguished; nor does it APP
pear that he went to any pains to look after
the safety of his offspring When the
childs mother got home, and beheld the
horrible sight, such a scene as was presen-
ted may easily be conjectured.-York Penn
