These people live in the northeast
part of the county and have very un-ss

The assault occurred January IL,
and the accused were brought to Bis
marck three days later and have been
in the county jail ever. since waiting
until Poplinger was strong enough to
appear against them. The story is
revolving as showing the heartlessness
Of the men concerned and their dis
regard as to. whether their victim
lived or died. The following story is
from the Wilton News at the time.
Poplinger was brought to st. Alexius
hospital:
When Poplinger was found after the
assault by a neighbor he had leg
and arm broken, five bad cuts on the
head, and part Of his teeth knocked
out. His story of hardship and en-.
durance is without parallel in the
annals of this locality. His version of
the affair is to the effect that Friday.
last just after he had finished water
| ing his horses there appeared at his
house Aaron Barony, his son John and
his son-in-law Abram Goldschlager,s
and they at once proceeded to pound
him into a jelly. While engaged in.
this pleasant pastime they reviled
him, and interspersed their remarks
with whacks with shovel and any
thing else they could find, finally leav-
ing him for dead.
When he recovered consciousness
they. had gone, and knowing he would
| die if he remained there, Poplinger
started for neighbours, crawling on
his hands and knees in the snow in
the teeth of the severe storm. How
he got there in his mangled condition
lis marvel. When within hundred
yards of the neighbours, and after
crawling nearly mile, he became
utterly exhausted, and there would
have died but fortunately he was seen
and upon investigation taken in and
cared for as well as conditions per-
mitted.
1t is learned that bad blood has. ex-
listed between Poplinger and the
Baronys for some time. Poplinger is
Aaron Baroney's son-in-law, and he
claims that the + wife's parents
destroyed her affections and later
took her away from him. We learn
that the Baronys have threatened his
life and he recently came to Wilton
to inquire what he should do in the
premises. 1865
| Tuesday Sheriff McGillis came up
from Bismarck. and accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Cotton of this county
went to the Barony place and took In
Ito custody Barony, his son and Gold
schlager, his son-in-laW. They were
brought to Wilton. and were taken to
the Capital City by team today for a
preliminary hearing In his search of
! the Poplinger shack he found a bloody
/ shovel, which is undoubtedly the
weapon which played prominent
part in the ARRAY. He also found that
Poplinger's horses had been without
care since the assault, and che stable
and house being connected they had
broken loose and wrecked the
/ premises. He ordered them cared for
lat once.
L The Baronys are Hebrews. and are
in great disfavor with their neighbors.
Goldschlager came here recently
from the east. and Of him but little IS
known.
