Down in York tp., there has been
some dispute about boundary line, and
a survey was deemed necessary. Mrs.
Warren, the amazon who spent two
years at Columbus for killing her hus-
band, was interested in the line, and said
the survey should not be made. The
other day. the county surveyor with his
force of men and j. w. Shannon, Esq,
of this place, went to work TO locate the
line. Their labors were only commenced
when the female woman. armed to the
teeth, it is said, hove in sight under full
sail. There was an absence OF human ty
in that region in very short time. The
Independent says that all the parties got
safely housed at Powhatan. while Mrs.
w. was endeavoring to effect the capture
of Shannon, who was retreating in as
good order as the blackberry bushes
would permit. Shannon saws, however.
that it is a mistake about losing his coat
tails. Sheriff and Deputy Sedwick re+
sponded to call for re inforcemests,
and while they stood guard. the survey
was made. The woman stands a good
chance Of being indicted.
