A MAN KNocKED DOWN AND BEATEN WHILE
ON HIS WAY FROM CHURCH.
Between nine and ten O'Clock, Sunday night,
as Joseph McKennon was going home from the
Brandywite N. L. Church, he was followed by
three suspicious looking men, who closely dog
ged his footsteps. AS lie was passing a large
barn on Twenty-frst street, the three Williams
sprang upon him, and beat him almost insensi-
BILE by striking him over the head with black
jacks. lie cried out for help, when his assailanis
scattered and ran away in different directions.
Mr.. MeKennon managed to drag himself to his
house, some distance further on, where his in
juries were attended 10. He thinks the assault
was made by some anti-temperance men in the
neighborhood. on account Of his activity in cir
culating remonstrances against the granting Of
liquor licenses by the Court, and his other earn.
est endeavors in behalf Of the temperance cause.
Ills injuries are quite severe, and his cowardly
| assaiants deserve punishment.
