Robt. Campbell, as stated in
these columns few days ago, ir
his alteration with several mer
down in Strong's mill was not se
much to blame as the report indl
Gates, so he says. Mr.. Campbell
, was watching the men at worl
when one of them accused him o.
taking his meerschaum pipe. This
, he resented which led to some words
+ and threats during which Mr..
!, Campbell, being an old man, picked
q up piece of slab wood to defene
himself. Three men rushed upor
him and knocked him down. HI
8 further states that he is a man o
peaceable disposition and does no
q go around looking for trouble. The
meerschaum pipe in question was
, found later in place where it was
, impossible for h1m to have had anv
q thing to do with it. We are glae
. make this correction and justifca
. ton in Mr.. CampbelPs favor.
