While we are loath to chronicle such
events, public sentiment and Justice
demands that we mention the assault
and battery case now pending before
Justice Russell, in which case Charles
Shelton is the plaintiff and Albert
Conner the defendant. Report says that
the trouble originated over harrow
that belonged to Mr.. Conner. 1t seems
that Conner had agreed to let Shelton
use the harrow, but afterward refused
him the same. Some rather strong
language followed and the upshot Of the
matter was that Conner tapped Shelton
over the head with broken bat in a
manner that plainly demonstrated his
dislike for his adversary. Conner went
before Mayor Young and, in accordance
with charges by Marshal Bennett, con
fessed to breaking the peace, and
assault and battery. The mayor impos.
ed fine, that in his Judgment covered
| the case. Shelton was not satisfied
however, and had Conner arraigned be
fore a Justice on the charge Of ASSAULT
and battery. Conner was given time tx
procure counsel, and the case will come
up for hearing Tuesday, May 31.--La
