The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1877-08-21

EFAn afray occurred at Graysville
this county, the morning of the 10th
inst, between JAMES A. WATSON anG
DR.. DILLON, both of that place. Tht
particulars, we have learned from resi-
dents Of the town, are as follows:
On the evening Of the 9th inst, 6
phrenologist held a meeting in the
school house and during the evening
some boys hauled wagon to one of the
windows, intending to climb upon it fol
the purpose of seeing and hearing what
was taking place inside 1t is alleged
that they made considerable noise and
that WATSON went out and cuffed young
DILLON, who was in the crowd. The
next morning DR.. DILLON came out OF
his house onto the porch in front, when
WATsor, from the opposite side of the
street, asked him if he had had his head
felt The DR.. replied that be had not,
and added, if your head was ao sound
as mine you would know better, how to
treat other peoples children. 4 WATSON
asked him if he wanted to fight. The
Doctor replied that be did not. WAr
SON then picked up stone and went
across the street and struck DILLON 8
severe blow on the forehead and another
in the side, injuring him severely. An.
other account says WArsos dropped the
stone before reaching DILLON.
A warrant was issued for WAfsoN'
arrest that day, but he left town and had
not returned to Friday of last week :
DR.. DILLON is able to practice and will
recover. The report of his dangerous
condition grew out Of a fainting spell
disease of long standing.

Ew GOODRICH, the Republican who
was brought from Noble county, is
panied because the painting on the Court
House has not cost $3.50, and because
we received pay for the tax receipts al
exactly the same rate the Democrat
charged for them in 1873 That year
WILLIAM READ, Treasurer of the County
and Of the Democrat Company, had A..
600 receipts printed at that Office fol
which an order for $40 was issued, Mr.
READ being present with Mr.. HERMAN
when it was allowed.
! GOODRICH should be the last man to
talk about any one swindling the tax,
payers OF this county, as nearly every
bill rendered by him the Commissioners
have been obliged to cut down because
of over-charging. And his charges in
a majority of cases, where both papers
inserted the same notice, have been ir
excess of ours. The bills on file and
the record show this. And that too ir
advertising where the rate is plainly
fixed by law. Q 3ie 'E6
1t is damaging to peoples pocket
books to order work from such 8
source; and County officials, having the
record before them, don't feel warranted
in giving him advertisements, unless
some law expressly requires that they
be printed in two papers. A man with
such an unenyiable record should bt
very careful about charging any one
with swindling.
