: Lawson, his son. was bound
| over in a bond of §IOO charged
;with assault on Calvin Mate
j with a deadly weapon.
In a verbal scrap on the high
way between Jim Tom and Cal
vin, in which cursing afid aouse
was charged, both participants
were taxed with the cost. Mabe
paid his part. Lawson appealed
to court.
The affair which occurred rt
i|M'tcs garage at Lawsonvillc,
, appeared to have grown out or
• the shooting of Mabc's dog by
| Jim Tom. A large crowd assemb
led to hear the trial Wednesday,
before Justice N. E. Wall, quite
a number of witnesses being ex
amined cm either side. The evi
dence showed that Jim Tom and
Calvin were engaged in a dis
pute when young Woodrow, who
is a son of Jjm Tom, came up
sr.d took up the quarrel, which
resulted in Mabe being struck
in the face and eye with what
he contends was a knife o
other deadly weapon in the fis*
iof Woodrow. A wound was mad?
which a Stuart, Va., physiciar.
j sewed up. Lawson claims he only
used his fist.
j A few nights previously.
Lawson shot Mabe's bird dog in
j his (Lawson's) yard. In passinf
the garage he bouteringly in
quired of Mabe how "old Bill"
'the dog) was getting along.
This started the row. The
garage and Lawson's home are
right near each other.
On account of the promience
of the parties, considerable in
terest in the affair was taken
by the neighbors and the public
