trouble up in that town. 1t seems that few
days previous to this accident" Mr.. Gideon
Cotton set a large trap in or near certain
piece Of woods, and into this trap Mr..

diet rendered in favor of the Company We
understand that the principal ground of de-
fence set up by Mr.. Baxter was that the Com

their road to Drby Line Village, and the
Company claimed that they had fulfilled the
terms of the contract by laying the road to
