And showed 1t to Bob Yancy?
asked the squire.
. NO. he want there. But the bo.
was, and I took him in my buggy ant
drove off. I'd got as far as the o!
Road forks when I met Yancy-"
What happened then?-but bod.
don't need to ask! Looks like the Law
was all you had on your side!" ant
the squire glanced waggishly abou
the room.
Il showed Yancy the order"
You lie. Dave Blount; you didn't
said Yancy. But l can't say as !
would have made no difference. Squire
He'd have taken his licking just th'
same and I'd have had my nevvy ou
of that buggy"
Didn't he say nothing about thi
here order from the cot, Bob?"
There want much conversation
Squire. invited my nevvy to ligh
down. and then snaked Dave Bloun
out over the wheel"
| "Ho Tic DlO"
He did. He struck at me with hi
buggy whip"
What you got to say to this, Mr.
Rlount?" asked the squire.
II say l showed him the order like
I said" answered Blount doggedly
Squire Ralaam removed his spectacle.
and leaned back in his chair.
IT'S the opinion Of this here co.
that the whole question Of assault
rests on whether Bob Yancey saw the
order. Bob Yancy swears he didn'
see 1t, while Dave Blount swears ht
showed 1t to him. II Bob YancJ
didn't know of the existence of the
order he was clearly actin on the
idea that Blount was stealin' his new
Wy. and he done what anyone woult
have done under the circumstances
If, on the other hand, he knowed o.
this order from the cot, he was no
only guilty of assault, but he wa!
| guilty of resistin an officer Of tht
cot" The squire paused impressively
His audience drew a long breath. Tht
impression prevailed that the cast
was going against Yancy, and more
than one face was turned scowlingly
on the fat little justice.
Can a body drap a word here?'
1t was Uncle Sammy's thin voice tina
cut into the silence.
Certainly, Uncle Sammy. Thi'
here cot will always admire to lister
to you"
well, I'd like to say that l con-
slider that Fayetteville cot mighty Of
ficious with it's orders. This part o.
the county won't take nothin' off Fay.
etteville! We don't interfere will
Fayetteville, and blamed If we'll le
Fayetteville interfere with us!" There
was a murmur of approval. Scratch
Hill remembered the rifles in it's hand!
and took comfort.
1.-The Fayetteville cot air a higher
cot than this, Uncle Sammy, explain
ed the squire indulgently.
I'm aweer Of that" snapped thu
patriarch. I've seen hits steeple."
Air you finished, Uncle Sammy
asked the squire deferentially.
II low l am. But low that If this
here case is goin' agin Bob Yancy
I'd recommend him to go home ant
not listen to no mo- foolishness."
Mr.. Yancy will oblige this cot by
setting still while l finish this case,
said the squire with dignity. LAS I've
already p'inted out, the question Of
veracity presents itself strongly to the
mind of this here cot Mr. Yancy
has sworn to one thing, Mr.. Bloun
to another. Now the Yancys air ar
old family in these parts; Mr.. Blount'.
folks are strangers, but we dom
know nothing agin them"
And we don't know nothing ir
their favor" Uncle Sammy interject.
ed
Dawes grandfather came here
from Virginia about fifty years bacl
and settled near Scratch Hill"
I'VE never knowed why he left Vir'
ginia or why he came here" said Un'
Gle Sammy, and knowing what loca
feeling was, was sure he had shot &
telling bolt.
Then, about twenty-five years ago
Dawes father pulled up and went tt
Fayetteville. Nobody ever knowe(
why-and l don't remember that hi

tinued the squire.
He didn't-he just left" said Un'
Gle Sammy
consequently" pursued the squire
any time in which to form an opin'
ion of the Blounts; but for myself
I'm suspicious of folks that keel
movin' about and who don't seen
able to get located permanent no.
where's, who air here today and away
tomorrow. But you can't say that o
the Yancys. They air an old family
in the country, and naturally this CO.
feels obliged to accept a Yancy'!
word before that of a stranger. Ant
in view of the fact that the defendan
did not seek litigation, but was per
fectly satisfied to let matters res
where they was, it is right and jus
that all costs should fall on the plain
tiff"
