II know every hill, 'h0ller' and dug
out in Jackson township and if you
come down to get me, I'll get you,"
was the pleasant statement made by
Samuel Clark, who was tarred and
featherd by seven masked men a
number of months ago, to Deputy
Sheriff Burr H. Lytle at the court
house Thursday morning.
"You say I won't come back?"
queried Deputy Lytle. '
'Ye may come back carcass"
threatened Clark, his voice rising
higher and higher.
Clark is making one of his periodi-
cal visits to Mt. Vernon to consult
/, with his attorney about obtaining his
aRw and his SOW which he claims
we're wrongly kept by his wife, now
deceased, and which he says are still
on her property in Coshocton county,
near New Castle.
'tTve got 1924 Tapped up in that
COW and SOW and they're starvin' to
DEATH" remarked Samuel. He said
that the SOW had lost six of IL pigs
and the COW is hardly recognizable.
He ws,s very irate and very excited
and his voice thundered through the
second story of the court house. De-
livering his warning and his threat,
he left with the firm intention of get
ting his COW and his SOW, despite ev-
-erybody in creation.

The. work of Judges Chittenden,
Kinkead and Richards of the eighth

day. The balance of their time in the
city, the judges will devote to delib
Grafton ON the cases and they will an
y aince their opinions as soon as the

The speedy work of the judges has
been the cause of considerable com
ment about the court house.
