On a Serious Charge.

Gray, July 27.-The trial of Levi Far
well of South Gray took place Friday
afternoon before Trial Justice W. H.
Vinton at his office in Gray. The com
plaint was assault with intent to kill,
brought by Albert HILL p neighbor of
Mr.. Farwell.
1t seems that last Saturday, Mrs. Far
well, the mother of the defendant, was
picking rasberries by the side of the road
adjacent to Mr.. Hills farm. Mr.. Hill
ordered her off the premises, and, accord
ing to Farwell's story, struck her and
pulled the pail away from her. Farwell
hearing of this went to Mr.. Hills farm
and found Mr.. Hill in the barn, where it
was claimed the assault was committed.
The prosecution tried to prove con-
cealed weapon in the hands of the defend
ant and claimed that he made some such
remark as "I'll kill you before you can
get out. - Mr.. Farwell acknowledged
striking Hill, but claims that Hill started
for him with a pitchfork. Farwell had
no counsel but conducted the case him
self. Justice Vinton required $500 bonds
for Farwell's appearance at the Superior
court to be held at Portland in SEP tenn
