Heagy's corner, when his stomach
reoelled against its bad usage, and
a violent contest took place between
nature and the enemy. Evidence of
q similar conflict was left on the side
walk leading to the depot. Numer-
Gus other victims of tangle foot were
seen on the street. "High license"
is glorious triumph of personal
liberty.

with it's more than usual saturnalia
of drunkenness. One man walked
overheard into the Christiana and
was drowned, and an other ran in
