gleston, 80, near Four Corners, Newbury,
about two miles from Wells River, at 8

in teams and refused to turn out for each
other. Evans struck Egglestons team
with his whip, whereupon old feuds brought
on fight. Evans struck Eggleston with
with his fist, knocking him senseless. Ev-
ans left his victim in the road, went to
Wells River and surrendered himself to
Justice Enoch Parker offering to settle for
the assault, but Mr.. Parker refused to &C.
