ONE WAY OF GETTING SATISFACTION.
The New London Day says: 'fFriday
afternoon q stranger called at the house of
. farmer named Brown at VOLTS Neck and
inquired for Browns son. He invited the
young man to 60 down the road and shoot
flock of quail. The stranger borrowed
the gun of Brown and discharged it, and
then, without word of warning, began a
violent assault on Brown, pummeling him
savagely with his hands and putting shoe
leather into him viciously until Brown was
well nigh spent with pain, terror and the
exhaustion of defending himself against
the vigor of the attack. The man having
satisfied himself departed, vouching only
q word of explanation, to the effect that
the punishment was in settlement of an in
suit offered his wife by Brown. None of
the Browns know anything about the man,
who is thought to belong in Voluntown,
and young Brown Indignantly denies hav-
ing ever seen the man OF his wife before OF
to have insu1ted anyone. 1t is rather a
strange affair in public estimation, and
will need considerable more light before it
is allowed to drop.
