Chepachet.
William Brown is recovering from in
juries which were at first believed fatal.
Lat Monday evening, as Brown drove
George Wade who, it is charged,
pulled him from the carriage.
Brown escaped from his antag-
onist's grasp and ran into his house.
Wade started Browns horse which ran
down toward the Brown Schoolhouse,
where, clearing himself from the carriage
at that place, he dashed still farther
down the road, while Wade fol-
lowed on in the same direction.
About a half hour later, Brown, accom-
panied by his aged father, William Brown,
started in pursuit OF the horse.
At the cider mill, a quarter of a mile
below the house of the Browns, they en-
countered Wade and some companions in
a carriage.
Wade jumped out, some angry words
were exchanged, when William Brown, 1t
is said, struck Wade over the head with
n club which he carried, and at the same
time drew a knife.
Wade snatched the club away and dealt
Brown one or more blows, telling him to
TO the ground while his son Reuben
beat hasty retreat. Wade claims
that they were following him for
instead of hunting for the horse, as they
allege, and he fought in self-defense. Bad
blood had existed between the parties for
some time.
