Justice c. w. Burrows heard Mon
day the evidence of Nels and Gordon
Laugesen of Burton, regarding the al
legged assault on the person of Gordon
Laugesen on December 8, by Louis
Keehner of the same village, and after
some deliberation held the defendant
over for trial at the pending term Of
circuit court on his own recOgnizance.
Gordon Laugesen, the complainant,
took the stand Monday afternoon and
testified that he and Keehner had had
some words over various matters and
that Keehner had dared him to come
out in the road a few days before. On
December 8th Keehner came to the
mill and some hot words followed.
That Keehner entered the mill and
that as he entered picked up bolt.
Laugeson picked up a crOwbar, accord
ing to his testimony, and that was
the last thing he knew until he found
himself on the floor. He was unable to
give any further account of the follow
ing incidents beyond calling to his
brother for aid. He found that he
had a wound in the back of his head
which he believed was caused by
bolt in the hands of Keehner. He
stated that he came at once to Lam
caster where DR.. Doolittle took three
stitches in the wound.
Nels Laugesen testified that he was
told of the trouble by Cap Gable,
and came over finding his brother
on the floor with the defendant on top
of him and the crowbar in between
the two men. The point at issue
seemed to be whether Laugesen re-
ceived his injury from a blow del1v-
cred by Keehner using the bolt which
was introduced at the trial, or fell
striking his head against the machin-
cry or some loose iron parts lying on
the floor. This was not cleared up at
the examination. Mr.. Keehner was
represented by David Gardner OF
Platteville.
