there will ba no war If congress wcro

could not occur. If Lodge and Boutclle
were on deck, does any man suppose a

had the audacity to 30 TO tho state dc.

MIR. KIRN's STATEMENT.
1.-THE two women, Lucinda and Pau.
Fine, had been living Oh my farm all
the winter and have paid no rent. Dur
aug the cold spell in February. l kept
ahem from starving, thinking thst when
abe spring opened they would 20 to
work for me. On Monday ! went to
ahelr house, which is on my land and
told them | wanted them to pull rad
3shes. ETC.. for me. This they refused
10 do; in fuct they refused positively TO
work ut all. So | ordered them to leave
any premises Immediately. Yesterday
morning, as was my usual custom;
went down to their house In comuauy
with my son. 10 see ii they were going
10 carry of any OF my tools, etc.
sound them with some bugs and basket
and attempted TO take them away from
she old woman, when her daughter
Lucinda grabbed up piece of buggy
TIRE, which they had been using all the
winter to poke fire with, and hit me
over the head with 1t. The blow
stunned Inc and cut this cash as you
see. which is several inches long and
suite deep. She raised it to strike NE
again whom l wrenched it from her
nand, but on doing so received the
blow on my hand cutting it. After
getting the piece Of iron my first I'M
pulse was to hit her, took the second
thought and told my son to go to the
house and seud some one after an OIL.
Ger, which was done. We kept the
swo women coniired until Constable
Adams came aud carried them of.
TIE woMEN's STATEMENTS.
The two women were visited in their
cells. They claim that Mr. kirn came
O. the house, accused them of stealing
Oashets, bags, etc, and ordered them
ont aud because they didsnot move as
East as he wanted them he kicked them
around and to protect themselves they
hit him.
