and laid down to take a s.eep. One Of the
men belonging to the tent came along and
finding the man in the tent notified Meyer.
Together they undertook to put him out,
and as be was quite an ugly customer, II
took some rough usage 10 do It. they sue
ceesied, however, in getting Mccormick to
leave. but with the ave we'd intention Of CON-
ing buck sometime and getting revenge.
Last evening about e-2o Mccormick with
two companions, all more or les under the
influence OF liquor, vent over to the Hughes
