of Court Tate's Version
of Assault on Editor
Grist in Yorkville.
From Charlotte observer, Sept. 3.
To the K 1 itor of The Observer?Your
Yorkville correspond
ent gave an ac-ouut 01 an assault
on Editor Grist, in Ja-t
Friday's if sin?, which was very
unfair to ail I he paitio n;euii>tied,
excep- ir Editor Grist, andj
especially uniair to me.
Your correspondent is a broth- !
er to Editor Grist, and 1 am the |
the clerk ot court of York coun- 1
ty.
The account states that Mr.
Windle and Mr. Jackson entered
my ollice "gether with s'ickt
and that Windl** jumped on Grist
and continued to beat him over

only interference offered by me
was that 1 "suggested," after
awhile that the assault had probably
gone t?r enough.
The facts are that Mr. Windle
entered the cilice alone and began
the attacK on Grist, unex
pected by me, striking him about
two or three blows. I was sitting
on the opposite side ot the
table and as .-oon as 1 could got
up and got 'lie slick and put it
out of Mr. Wiudle'e reach. At
this juncture Mr. Jackson entered,
carrying his stick, according
to custom Windle was pound
iug Grist with his fist, and I
caught Windle's arm and pulled
him back. lie turned on me

him loose. Jackson sai'l, "Turn
him loose, Tate, an.i let them
tiyht it ou " I turned him
loose. NVindle struck Grist suv*'iai
blows with tiis list, and said,
"You draw vour pisiol oil me,
' ou , and I will kill you.'1
1 could no t*-ll from my position
whether Grist made any attempt
to draw his pisiol or not.
Windle choked him and Grist
uollered police Jackson si anoint
near the door closed it.
Windle made two attempts t??
yet his slick, and I would not let
him have it and told him not ?o
use his stick. Windle and Jackson
then walked out.
The Grist family and I have

years, but there has been one or
two periods during that, time
when we were on good terms.
For ihe his! two or three year-1
they have been bitter, especially
your correspondent, and they
have done all they could to defeat
me in the recent election,
but failed. Your corresponded

as the facts in the case:
Mr. Windle went to YorkviMe
to carry the election boxes of
the primary. 8aw Mr. Grist in
the court house yard and started
to him, but two ladies were
standing near and, through respect
for them he would say
nothing there to Mr. Grist.
Later in the day Windle, unac

Clerk Tate in the court house
and there found Grist, Tate and
Mr Withers, Mr. Tate's secretary.
Spoke to Gris', sayi- g
that Grist had insulted him ami
cahin: him a dirty -ooundrci.
Gri.-i ilid not reply, bir ar< se
fr Hi Ins chair and put his hand
t i his pocket as it to draw a
weapon. W'ndle s:ruck h'tii
ovi'i tin head with .1 mediumsized
walking cane and knocked
him down. Windle threw hit
cane aside and sprang upon lite
editor. T?.e tw > fought ior some
seconds, when Glial veiled lor a

Thompson Jackson, ,vho was I

the ollice door. Unmolested,
Widdle and Grist continued to

latter's elForts being almost en
tirelv of a defenssive sort Windle
finally arose and left, the office
and the incident was closed
Later in the afternoon Mr. Win
die apologized to both Mr. Tate
and Mr. Withers for having attacked
Mr. Grist in the clerk's
office.
According to The Times' information
neither of the gentle
men were arrested for the occurrence.
Mr. Windless injuries as
a result of the melee consisted
of a bally bruised right hand,
caused by repeated blows upon
ilie I H*e and head of Mr Glist
We were unable to learn the extent
ot Mr. Grist's injuries.

The recent unprecedented floods have
wrecked or swept away entirely about
fifty bridges in the county. Some ot
these bridges are wrecked and can bo
repaired, but many, or most of them,
must be built anew. I realize the fact
that early completion is an important
factor, but I cannot push the work in a
haphazard manner to the detriment of
the county. I now have a bridge force
