Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1879-06-19

Jas L, TaIiuHa, of Buena vista, was
before ESQ. Kerr on Monday, charged
with assault with intent to kill, upon the
person of DIR. j. L. Lines, of the same
place, and was held to answer to court in
$500 bonds; falling to furnish bail, he
was committed to Jail, and unless a special
grand jury is empanelled during the pres
ent term of court will probably have to
remain in jail until the November term.
The trouble grew out of the killing of a
dog belonging to Lanum. Lanum oecu-
pied part of stable belonging to LINES,
and had dog shut up in the coEn-crib.
The dog made good deal of noise, and
disturbed the neighbOrs. It acted strange
", and the neighbors decided it was mad
and ought to be killed, and accordingly,
on Saturday morning Lines shot it. Lam
um was very much out of humor about it,
and made some threats against Lines, on
Saturday, but on Monday agreed that if
Lines would help him bury the dog, he
would drop the matter. They went to-
gether to bury the dog in a field, and
while there Lanum assaulted Lines,
knocking him down and rendering him
senseless for a short time. When his
senses returned, L4anum was upon him
\ with revolver in one hand, and demand
ing that Lines should agree to pay him
for the dog, which he did. Lines was
considerably bruised about the face, and
had bad cut upon his head, evidently
made with some sharp eornered instru-
ment. Lanum says he don't know how
the wound was made, unless he struck
Lines with his bOOt-heel. They had an
ak with them, and when Lanum first
struck Lines he grabbed the ak, which
Lines was holding. The indications seem
to be that the wound was made with the
poll of the ak.

= Mr.. Gearhart, of Piqua, O., was here
last week looking about with view of
removing his foundry and agricultural
machine works from Piqua to this place.
He was favOrably impressed with the
town as good point for his business, and
made proposition to some of our prom
inent citizens which is very fair, if the
gentleman's representations are correct.
A manufacturing establishment of this
character would be of great advantage to
Washington.
