and even a COW yard fence had been stolen

dies of shingles. a demand for the rest of
the shingles precipitated row, in which
Mr.. Burke exhausted his magazine of pro-
family and then attempted battery on Mrs.

striking her by his wife, who stood on the
tail of his coat. Burke testified that the
shingles had been loaned by Mr.. Freyer and
that Mrs. Freyer had equaled his profanity

his COW and do other naughty things. Each
