boarding place elsewhere. This, Lathrop
seemed disinclined to do. aud when Buker
told his wife, Sunday night, loud enough
for Lathrop who was in the next room, to
hear, that ''he wished he would settle and
leave" Lathrop came in the room where
they were, with his sleeves rolled up and
seized Buker by the throat saying "that
he was ready to settle now" Buker's
boys here intcrfered and parted them, and
Lathrop went into the kitchen. hut Bukcr
followed and ordered him 10 leave the
house, at the same time seizing chair to
