Last Sunday two young men of this
place had rather hard time trying to
get few blackberries. They went into
n pasture and we're ordered to leave, in
the next place a man chased them with
a club, a mile farther on a lot Of women
gave them such a tongue lashing that
they beat hasty retreat toward Sc
cluded spot on Fletcher mountain, when
a report of q revolver and a whistling
bullet brought them to II halt. Think
ing this accidental, they were about to
90 on, when voices said, "there they are,
give it to 'em again, and shots followtd
so thick and fast they were obliged to
seek shelter behind some large trees.
Under the smoke of battle they skipped
for home. Steps Will be taken to prose-
cute the parties who did the shooting,
as they were recognized.
We have been having hard time up
this way. The potatoes have all decay
ed, the beans have rusted, there was not
a barrel of -four to be bought in town
Tuesday and the aqueduct busted
and no water could be had for love or
money.
