USED NECKYOKE
Leonard Bond Assaults Bert Davis OF
New Avon and Gives the
Sheriff Hunt.
Is Finally Rounded Up at Gilflllan
Siding and Remanded.so the
Grand Jury.

Wednesday of last week witnessed
lively time on the old Matt Par
sons farm in New Avon The
dwelling house on this farm has
been occupied the past winter by
two families-that of Robt. Davis
and Mr.. Stafford With the latter
was living a young man named
Leonard Bond, Stafford S hired man.
Davis learned that Bond had made
insulting proposals to bis wife for
which he had been shown the door,
and on the morning in question,
Davis attempted to call Bond to
account for the insult. Bond at
once took the offensive, and after
pass or two, picked up a heavy
eckyoke, contrary to the Marquis
of Queensbury rules. Davis imme-
dlately concluded that here was
case where discretion was the part
of valor, and sprinted SO we'll that
the hired man came out a poor
second. Davis attempted to regain
! his house after his mastery retreat,
but Bond was on guard, and Davis
concluded that it would be good
! generalship to secure reinforce
ments, and straightway hiked to
Wabasso and took steps for the
arrest of the hired man. The latter
was not of mind to yield tamely to
arrest without making the sheriff
give chase. Before the sheriff and
county attorney could drive to Wa
basso and get the necessary war
rant from Justice ChadbOurne S
court, Bond was over the hills and
prairies and far away. without leav-
ing any diagram of his route for
| Sheriff Schueller when the latter
called at the house five or six hours
later Our new sheriff arose to the
situation, however, and shrewdly
followed possible clue - some
tracks across plowed field-with
varying fortunes, making inquiries
at houses, and of passing transfers,
and finally locating Bond at Gil
fillan Station, where he had mOdestly
withdrawn to the shelter of one OF
the big barns on the farm. Bond
made no trouble about surrender
ing, and the sheriff relieved the
overcoat pockets of his prisoner of
a revolver and pair of brass
knuckles, to avoid possible accident.
County Attorney Howard had
mean while arranged the legal pre-
liminaries at Wabasso, Justice
Chadbourne consenting to adjourn
the examination and allow it to be
transferred to the municipal court
here, in order to save the county
needless expense. Bond was brought
/. before Justice Laudon Friday morn
ing, and after having his bail fixed
at $500, was allowed until 2 D. m
to secure an attorney and enter his
!. plea. He sent for S. L. Pierce. anc
Z upon his appearance in the after
noon, waived his examination, anC

to jail to await the action of thu

was at one time in an Illinois insan,

the latter as one-third of mis- sue

that If he was one third he had a
curiosity to see the other two-thirds.
Yesterday Mr.. Eddy. introducing

is getting a good deal of fun out OF
the fact that his district has been

"oNE OF OUR BOYS. !"
Notable Instance of Gen. Lees
Magnanimity.

The magnanimity of Gen. r. e.
Lee is we'll known. but the daily

told One notable case has, il is
believed. never before appeared in
print. says Youths Companion.
Gen Lee was sitting on the yer.
anda of his Lexington home one
afternoon, engaged in conversation
with some friends, when man, ill
clothed and covered with dust, ap-
pesred at the gate and timidly.
beckoned to the general.
Apologizing to his friends, Lee
rose at once and went to the gate.
Very soon his purse appeared, and
he was seen to give the man some
money.
His friends. knowing the extent
of his charity, real or apparent.
looked on with some impatience,
for they knew how slender his
means were then, and how many
calls of the same kind came to
him.
General, who was thatP" one of
them ventured, when he had re-
turned to his place.
"One of our boys in trouble. ,"
was the half smiling answer, for
the general knew the remonstrance
which his friend was longing to
make.
What regiment and company
did he belong tor" persisted his
friend, anxious if possible to un-
earth the suspected fraud.
"Oh, he-he fought on the other
side." was Gen Lees calm answer.

a man sincerely believes a certain

entirely different, will this sincere
