a chair and knocked him senseless, and
then dragged him out of doors. Mrs
Sears ran to the neighbors for assistance
and Frank Forenbach came. Reardon
revived and begged to come in, and Mr
Sears, thinking he had received such a
lesson that he would behave, let him In.

like a madman and was bent on killing
Mr Sears, who fought for his life, and
