Com. VS.. Eli Campbell. Indictment
Aggravated Assault and Battery
On the evening of the 10Th day of last
July, John ShineIoff, a somewhat noted
mountaineer, who resides somewhere in
the wilds of Lack township, havirg
read, no doubt the wonderful achieve
ments of Captain Jack: the Mococ mur-
derer, became fully imbued with the
sanguinary spirit of the haIf-breed
bravo, and concluded to 20 on the war
path. Not far from his residence re.
sided Ezekiel Campbell, the Lack town
ship lawyer, against whom, by the way,
although closely related to Captain
Jack, the said Captain Jack cherished
a most intense hatred. Now 1t struck
Jack that he might crafty his hatred
and at the same time render himself as
immortal as his namesake should he
capture the scalp of Ezekiel, and crown
him with still more eclat if be should
at one fell swoop "wipe cut" the whole
Campbell tribe, horse, foot and dra-
goons. Like his namesake he prepared
himself accordingly, throwing his hand

heard the war-whoop and prepared to
give the doughty Jack a Tom Corwin
welcome. Jack burst upon the scene,
mounted on his war charger, riding and
whooping like Comanche. Ezekiel
met him single-handed, seized his rosi-
mantle by the bride, and brought him to
a sudden halt. Jack at once dismount-
ed and entrenched himself behind his
horse, with his hands full of rocks

name of Nagle stopped the FUN by dis

He mounted and started but soon re-
turned and again opened the canpaigu

line. The Campbells fell back to their
entertainments, where they reformed.
Jack dashed up past the mousse of Eli,

wife, who was quietly milking her at
the time. He went like a fash past
the house, but meeting young John,

An indictment against Shineloff for

jury acquitted Jack and made Ara
