RETURN ON SUMMONS Included Report of an Assault by Woman Defendant.

Deputy Sheriff Graham of M'DOwell came to town yesterday tC make return on an original summons which had been given him to serve. It was in a forcible entry and detainer case by Eph Tompkinson against Mrs. Martha Murdoch. both of MDowell. The re- turn was accomplished by verbal re- port showing that the officer had per formed his duty under unusual diff culties. He brought along further doc umentary evidence of the fact in the shape of great welt along the right side of his face.
 He said he went to the home of Mrs. Murdoch and begged permission to read the summons. She did not like his style of elocution, got a gun and told him to stop A son of the woman took the gun away from her and then she armed herself with a club. It was at this time that the deputy sheriff got the welt on the face. He was asked if he finished reading the sum- mons. He replied that he did not; he lacked time, and besides he thought he had read so much of it that Mrs. Murdoch must have been given a gen. eral notion of the contents of the document
 Mrs. Murdoch came to town also and told a slightly different story. She said it was the manner of the officer she re- sented more than the official paper. She said he was full and paraded around the place as if the case had al ready been tried and he had come to eject her.
 The case was set for trial tomorrow and many of the witnesses who had beer summoned at the same time had come all the way from M'Dowell On the motion of the defendant the trial was postponed until next Friday.
