coming to the city from the Little
Pinery, met large brawny man just
this side of Lords place, driving a
span of horses Ieisurely, and as is his
custom passed him upon the off side of
the road. He pursued his way for
nearly a minute when he was sudden
~ knocked from his seat with such
force as to stun him, falling out of the
wagon and realizing nothing for sew
eral moments. After he had slightly
recovered he looked about him in a
mystified manner and discovered the
rascal detaching his team from the
wagon. To quote Mr. Dunham's
words: II felt strong enough when I
saw what was going on to whip ten
men and I went for him" A scuff1e
ensued Mr.. D. getting the better of
his antagonist, but in the meelee he
had thrust his thumb into his mouth
which was very severely bitten but
determined to win or die, he choked
and hammered his brawny friend, till
he picked himself up and put for the
woods, and nothing more was seen of
him. The team in the mean time had
become frightened and had ''1it out"
