Ella Mccain, aged eight, living on Union

hor step-father, Thomas Smith. While cross

Giddy and fell into the water. Her father
tried to catch hold of her but he became
entangled in his fisbing-rod and fell himself.
He could just reach her, her hand a. las as she ~ was as

and battery on John Hall, a boy Is years of

struck him over the face. The boy then
threw a stone at Aquilla and hit him on the
back. Mrs. Hall came to the rescue of her
child and then Frisby turned his attention to
her and called her some very abusive names,
and some witnesses testified caught her by
the arm. Some persons sitting at the Shaw.
nee hose house saw the trouble and gave
their evidence at the hearing. The assault
was committed in front of Halls home last
