what business had there. told him l thought
/ had as much right there as he had, when he
struck me On the breast, knocking me off the
door-sill into the yard. then went out in the
street and got stone, and went back and asked
him what authority he had for striking me. He
then showed me q badge which he had con-
cealed under his coat, which l took to be a
fremans badge, and put ont my hand to ex-
anime il, when he showed me off very roughly.

sociable together until he made the disturbance
