very serious assault, growing out of Q
family feud, took place in Mounds View, about
eight miles from this city on the Como and
Snail lake road, yesterday afternoon, which
almost cost one of the victims her life. Kesid-
ing in tho above named locality is a respectable
farmer named Joseph Lang, Immediately
adjoining whose farm resides q son-in-
Law named Lawrence Fabijaniski,
between whom there has existed difficulties
arising out of their family relations, and which
came very near terminating in tragedy, yes
terday. So
About 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon a
little daughter of Lang's visited . pasture, not
a great way from the house, for the purpose of
looking after the horses, returning from which
che was accosted by woman named Krupcht,
| who, taking umbrage at something the child
| said, at once began to administer chastisement.
The cries of the child at first attracted the at
tention Of the Fabijaniski brothers, Lawrence
and Michael, who were grubbing in the vicin-
lty, who, in place of demonstrating with tho
woman, called out that the girl deserved .
thrashing and that if she would wait minute
they would renScr her some very material as
sistance. The two brutes proceeded to execute
/ their threat, and had actually commenced 20
beat the little girl when their manly avocation
was interrupted by the appear
l ance = OF - the child 8 parents, who
were, naturally indignant at the outrage.
The remonstrance had no sooner been spoken
by the excited parents of the girl, than the
brother Mike rushed upon Mr.. Lang with .
grubbing axe, severely Furnishing him with the
handle, while his brother Lawrence made a
vicious attack upon Mrs. Lang, using for the
purpose a stout club, with which he bruised
her body and face.
After the villains became tired Of
their amusement, they left the ield highly
elated with their conquest, the injuries sus-
tanned by Mrs. Lang being of such c scriou,
nature as to Immediately require the most
skilled medical attendance.
d The victims to the dastardly assault wers
brought to this city last night by Mr.. O. Neil
one Of their neighbors, and upon undergoinl
. medical examination it was learned that ths
most serious injury was sustained by Mrs
Lang, who received an ugly cut over the lef
eye, fully two inches long, while the forehead
back and face is covered with welts ans
bruises. As before stated, yesterdays quarre
was the result of . long standing feud, th,
SON in-law, Lawrence, having been srrestet
about one year ago for breaking Mr.. Lang
i Leg, Messrs. Mead & Thompson will tax
charge of the case to-day, and the parties vii
