Will S Tames in his address last
Sunday night told of an amusing
story pf tho people of a ceitaiu
town who made a practice of sit
ting aiound on the streets and
wealthiest citizens decided to fenco
up a part of his land which joined
tho publio park on tho blufi An
other prominent citizen declared
that ho had nq right to close up
this land as tho town was entitled
tothofieouso of it Mustering a
few of his adherents thpy destroyed
tho fenco ono night A law suit
followed and was docided in favor
of tho owner of tho land A very
bitter animosity had boon engen
deied between these two citizens
The next night aftor tho court do
cided tho ease tho barn and con
tents belonging to tho owner of tho
land who was a physician wcro
burned to tho ground Soon after
this the immense store of tho other
citizen was fired and destroyed with
all its contents Tho war was on
and soon every man woman and
child in tho village hud taken sides
Each leader had a email army of
followers many of whom wero worth
less characters men who would cut
your throat or fire your houso for
5 In two years there were eight
lesidences six stores two factories
two mills and seven barns burned
Tho doctor lost his residence was
shot twice by ambushed cnpmio
his baby wa3 killed in ilB mothers
arms as she sat by the windowTwo
of his followers wcro alto killed
The other side fared equally as bad
two brothers being shot down side
by side Now the once beautiful
village is a ruined waste Half of
it burned and popple are afraid to
rebuild Tho doctor and the mor
cliiintjvvho staitedthqfncd are still
theic and swear they Hull did in
their tracks No grand jury has
ever beon able to return a single
indictment as people uro afraid to
tell what they know
This caso reminds us of two farm
ors who were neighbors One of
th em grubbed up his fence rovy and
and throw the brnsh over in his
neighbors field He throw it back
again and a quarrel ensued which
resulted in a suit for damages Up
to this timo tho two families had
been very intimate When Sunday
came Jones would tako all of his
family and fo over and spend tho
day with Brown and tho next Sun
day Brown would return the visit
with all his family When the suit
camo up Brown filed acounter suit
and among tho articles specified by
him was H7G0 for board duo him
from Jones on account of Jones
numerous visits Jones not to be
out done charged Brown 30 for
30 loans of an iron wash kettle Tho
caso was appealed several times
and at last accounts it had cost
each farmer about ftlOOO
