Sheriff Jones was in a crowd telling
hunting stories, the other evening.
Finally he remarked that the hardest
bird in these parts to kill is the peli-
can. Billy told story Of the recent
Linton hunting party up at Long
lake. Six of 'em fired at a pelican.
The bird came down slowly and ran
along the ground. 1t was chased and
killed with a club. "And, remarked
William, "that bird wasn't fatally
wounded, although hit a dozen times
He just simply dropped because he
couldn't carry the weight OF the shot
any longer"
A cowardly attack was made on w.
G. Williams, In Linton, Saturday
night, by tree peddler named Smiley,
and for while there was consider
able indignation manifested by citi-
zens generally over the unprovoked
assault. 1t seems that Smiley had
chad it in for Williams for some
time. On the evening named he called
Williams away from gentleman with
whom he was talking, at the SOUTH
west corner of Broadway and Hickory
avenue, telling Williams that he
wanted to speak with him. The two
went around the corner to the front
of Attorney Lanes office. Immediate
ly Smiley was seen to strike Williams
knocking him against the stone wall
Of the building. The latter dropped
to the sidewalk. He was taken into
the Patterson land-otiice, where he is
employed, and DR.. Hogue was called.
There was bad cut under theinjured
mans eye, and for awhile it was
thought he was seriously injured. He
was afterward taken to DIR. HOgue's
hospital. The injury, however, proved
to be less serious than was thought,
and Williams was about town next
day. Smiley, who had given the cow
ardly blow in the dark, was arrested
by Marshal Pagel and taken before
Justice A. G. Wagner, who fined him
ten dollars. AS 1t was not known how
badly Williams was injured, Smiley
was again arrested by the county
authorities for assault. He gave bonds
OF 5000. Monday, as Williams was UNI
injured save for the cut under his eye,
his assailant was let off on payment Of
costs. Smiley, who seems to be look
ing for trouble out this way, may con-
slider himself lucky that he got off as
cheaply as he did, and ii he continues
to assume the right to "knock the
face off of inoffensive citizens in the
dark he may get what he ought TO
have.
