volved in q difficulty over q game OF

1t seems that Wilkes beat Dill

denied. but Wilkes emphatically
affirmed.
Finally the lie was passed and
other vile epithets exchanged, when
Dill struck Wilkes and right lively
fisticuff followed.
By-standers separated the com
batants, but Wilkes reached into the
hip pocket OF his trousers and drew
q razor with which he slashed Dill
on the left arm and on the right side
OF the head, inflicting two ugly
wounds, which DR.. Gaines, of Pee

Bush Etherton, under whom Dill
had been carrying the mail, came to

took him before Squire Wheeler,
where Wilkes gave bond in the sun
OF $500 for his appearance for trial
on next Tuesday, August 7fh.
Young Wilkes is about 20 years
old, is q son of q widowed mother
and is her main support, which
makes his escapade with Dill al
the more to be regretted.
