Our usually quiet community was
somewhat disturbed last week by a
little trouble at Mr.. Browns store,
where the boys got into a scrimmage
one day and made considerable noise
TO the disturbance of the family over
head. On the next day one of them
who had been ordered to ''keep OUT
returned and Mrs. Brown asked him
to 90 out. He refused and she pull
ed revolver and intimated that it
would be best for him to go away
peaceably; he still refused to leave,
when she put up the pistol and at
tackled him with a fire poker, but he
was too strong for his feminine an
tagonist and held her by the wrists.
She screamed for help and her son
came in and together they soon
''cleaned OUT their antagonist. Mrs.
B. finding that she had broken the
law by threatening to use a pistol,
entered complaint against herself and
went before Justice Guild of Barton
who was compelled to amerce her in
a small fine. The affair is unfortu-
nate as Mrs. Brown is a woman much
esteemed in the neighborhood, and
many feel that the provocation was
sufficient to require strong if not I'M
lawful means to rid the store of the
offensive person. Mr.. Brown is in
very feeble health and the quarrel
effects him seriously.
