The life of correspondent for a
weekly paper is certainly tough and
he is to be pitied. If some people get
up little time and the correspondent
thinks to be lenient and doesn't men,
ton it the succeeding week he's the
meanest fellow in the town. On the
other hand, if he gives complete
write up, why that fellow is getting
worse they say. For the future we
will give at first only reading notice
of those small fracuses; but if we hear
only kicking we will then write it up
in full. So take the hint and govern
yourselves accordingly.
One of the worst outrages committed
in many day in this locality was COM
mitted by gang of Kenockee toughs
on Joseph Farrow, of Yale, O quiet
and inoffenslye person, last Sunday
night. 1t seems Mr.. FarrCw was as
ssting one Mosher to move an engine
from Port Huron. Farrow was drying
single rig and at lonely spot just
southeast of here when he met the
gang who stopped and pulled him
from the rig, kicked and otherwise ILL
used him, finally biting part of his
nose off. When he reached this place,
about 1890 o'clock, he was covered
with blood. He said he never had any
trouble with anyone in Kenockee, and
that he gave them no provocatiOn for
the assault. He gathered some data
at this place, and from descriptions he
is pretty certain of the crowd and
thinks he can identify them. If he
can he should certainly let the law
take hold of them, for if such work
is not put down the country in time
will return to savage days.
