went home in bad humor, and went about the
yard, cursing and swearing, and matchmaking
butchers in particular, when Dixheimer came home
and heard him. Dixheimer went into the yard and
told Burns to stop his noise, sgnifying that he
would not allow it, After some quarreling, Burns
went into his part of the house and returned into
the yard with jack-knife in his hand. He rushed
upon Dixheimer, and though the women interfered
to prevent it, cut him badly in the wrist.
Dixheimer then started as he said, to get an
officer to arrest Burns. As he was going Burns
followed him, and picked up an ak and raised it.
Dixheimer backed off, Burns still advancing upon
him; and as he backed he picked up short bar of
iron that was lying in the yard. Though he held
this up menaeingly as he retreated, Burns gave
way to his passion, rushed forward, and made a
aes sperate chop at the head of Dxheiner. The lat
ter lodged the blow, and then came down on the
head of Burns with his bar firon; giving him two
blows which laid him senseless and ended the fight

to be in a dying condition, and Dixheimer was ar
