an axe, burned his step daughters clothing,
destroyed everything deStroyabIe. and then
went to the barn and demolished the door

prevent their egress, (his orders being to
allow one to pass through the gate by
striking him in the mouth and knocking
him down, thereby cutting his lips and
causing an injury to his face by coming in
contact with the ground. Mr.. Lantz made
an information for assault and battery
against the brothers, since which time the
one who struck the blow has surrendered
himself and entered into $500 bonds to ap-
pear and answer the charge.
