be very handy. While a few OF
the number were parleying with
young squires and his father, Wat.

He was armed, however, and turn

that the mob retreated, leaving
their tar and feathers behind. Old
man Squires raj fatally wounded.
Lewis holland, one of the mob,
also received his death wound, and
several others were more or less
injured. Young SIuires had been
arrested for some offense and the
