We clip the following from the
Montgomery City Standard: VIM.
Keith, of Danville, who was tried in
Mexico circuit court on charge of
assault with intent to kill, was found
guilty and fined 500. The judge
remitted one half of the fine, and
being unable to pay the remainder
he was sent to Jail. Il will be re-
membered that Keith assaulted John
Grubber at Danvilie with a false
standard taken from wagon stand
ing near, striking him over the head
and knocking him down. Keith
was drinking at the time and on the
war path. Grubher was not badly
hurt but that was not Keith S fault.
The defendant took change Oi
venue 10 the Audrain circuit court
With the result above stated.
