The senate, Of which had the honor to be a

\ Young Man Assaults His Father.

Thomas Saban, an old man nearly eighty
years of age, was assaulted last Wednesday
by his son Henry of Oakland, Me. Last
winter Mrs. Saban died and since then Mr..
S. has lived alone at his home in Palermo
one-half mile from the town road Mrs.
Saban had two cows which has been the
poor old mans support Wednesday Henry
went to the place and said he had come to
drive away his mothers cows. His father
objected and trouble ensued. MIR. Saban
was lying on the lounge and Henry struck
him several times with his fist on the side of
his head. The old man ran for the door and
Henry struck him with the broom stick
over the head, cutting cash five inches
long. The old man fell near the woodpile
and the son jumped on him. Mr.. S. got his
arm around his sons neck, giving him a
fast hug and with the other hand reached
stick of wood and struck Henry several
clips on the head cutting three gashes and
fracturing the skull, which stunned him so
the old man got away.
Henry went to DR.. Delaney and had his
wounds dressed. The old man got to Charles
Stoves, the nearest neighbours, and DR.. De-
laney was summoned and his wound dress
ed, The old man was afraid to go home
lest Henry might return and make further
trouble, so John Stowe staid with him.
Henry and his father were both smeared
with blood.
Fred Spratt, the first selectman, on learn
ing of the affair interviewed the parties and
advised Henry to take himself out of town
and told him he could not drive away the
cows.
Henry promised that he would leave and
not trouble the cows or his father again, and
Thursday he took his departure.
Here the matter will probably drop, if
Henry keeps away. Mr.. Saban has another
son Samuel who lives at North Palermo and
is likely young man. IA. G.
