Chester. July Is. Yesterday af-
ternoun William T. Headley, the
big eXpressman. entered the drug
store at the northeast corner OF
Broal and Upland streets, with an
ger blazing out Ill over him. He
was accompanied by his daughter
who is siXt9al or seventeen years
old. Headley carried a whip and
this he proceeded to use on Davis
Prosser, one of the young proprle-
tors
3 Prosser's cries attracted the at
tenton of Charles Harrington and
James Fealey and these two men
rushed into the store and succeeded
in getting the whip away from the

One of the eye witnesses t. the
affair states that Mr. Headlev struck
the druggist about fifteen times,
and that ProsserS wrist and back
were bleeding where the heavy lash
had torn the shirt and luceratel

thought he had a grievance and
therefore took tina law i'll his own

, As soon as he could escape the blows
