| AS the result of dispute between Mr.
George B. Rhoades and Mr.. Harry K
Armstrong Saturday last, the latter is II
the Polytechnic Hospital, Philadelphia
suffering from a fractured skull, and Mr.
| Rhoades is held under $1,000 bail. The
unfortunate affair was the result of dis
Il pute between the two men, there being
some contention over the blower OF the
tLresher which Mr. Armstrong was run
ming ON the farm of Mr.. Rhoades, and
after some argument Mr.. Rhoades dealt
4 Armstrong a blow with pitch fork
which for a time was feared would prove
fatal. Mr.. Armstrong was removed tc
his home at Armstrong; Corner, and on
Monday morning was taken to the above
named hospital. We are informed that
the condition of Mr.. Armstrong is very
gratifying to his relatives and friends at
this writing, and it is hoped he will soon
recover. Both of the unfortunate men
have numerous friends in this section,
and much sympathy is heard for all
| concerned.
