Mr.. G.. F. Litchard, the tin pump man,
wishes to inform the public that he is not
the Litchard spoken of in last weeks Cour-
Ter, as having assaulted Mr.. Calvin Halls
adopted daughter. The man who committed
the outrage was another Litchard, who,
although formerly engaged in the pump
business, has no interest in the matter now.
The fact that he was alluded TO as vender
of tin pumps, might lead people to think
that Mr.. q. f. Litchard was the guilty
party. We hear that the real culprit has
skipped the country.
