BUTLER, A. F. CANNON, j Wardens. W. J HUGHES, Clerk , (Official Seal) , I Magistrate's Court. ; Magistrate N. Sweet held an investigation last Thursday upon a ' warrant sworn out by John D Smith against Geo. W. Watrs, Sr ' and his son M. W. Watts, charging ooth of them with assault and bat- \ rery of a high and aggravated nature This was only a preliminary investi- 1 gaiion and only the State's side was ' heard. From the testimony of the 1 State's witnesses which was taken down by the Magistrate it appears ' that the difficulty tool; pi ice on Jan- 1 uary 12th in front of the barn door of Mr. Smith lie was sitting in tfie 1 barn door when the defendants came : along, one with a sack full of s*ee 1 traps and the other with a double \ parrel gun. There had been some * irouble between the two men before f and Smith decided togive the others ! notice not to trespass on his land. Astheypisskd along the road by ' him and spoKe to him, he stated to them that be would forbid them en- * entering on his land and trapping 1 and from 'his one word brought on another, and caused the trouble. The elder Mr. Watts had drawn tingun in Smith's face when Mrs. Smith seized it and tried to take it away from Mr. Watts. She testified that he had the gun cocked and ..i i i? ... - - ^uiioucu uer several limes with ill tinally throwing her loose and in-) i jurinf her arm, In the mean linu y. Smith managed to reace his pisu>?' which was on the inside of the win- , low sill of the barn and when Watts i got clear of the woman he found , that Smith had the drop on him with the pistol. This wound up the trouble for the time being, and no ( -me was shot. The Magistrate ;fter hearing this testimony put the dcferidants under a $500.00 bond for their appearance at Court in February, ? i During the long, dreary winter months mothers become tired, worn out, can't cat, sleep or work.
