Occurred in Beaver Creek Town
ship.
In Beaver Creek township
last Saturday, about an hour
before sundown, Sylvanus
(known as Bane) Barnes, son
of Solomon Barnes, struck Dave
Barnes, colored, with a gun,
breaking in the skull just over
the left eye.
It occurred near Howell's
School House, and the darkey
lay there until Sunday about
12 o'clock before he was found.
Dr. White was called in
Monday, and found the wound
ed man in a very dangerous
condition, though he has strong
hopes that he will recover.
The circumstances appear to
be that they went to a still or
soma-where Saturday after-
noon and got full of liquor.
They were the best of friends
when they started out from
home. But as soon as they
got liquor in them, Dave be
gan cursing and abusing Syl
vanus. Just how it all came
about is not known, but Dave
kept on cursing till he was
knocked in the head, and he
will probably die.
Barnes left home and has
not been arrested yet.
Dave Barnes, the wounded
man, is a rather .rowdy negto,
and has been in jail here for
fighting and using deadly
weapons.

' An Idea.
When David hurled a smooth
stone from the brook and hit
goliath in the forehead, it was
a great surprise to that gentle
man, ouch a thing nad never
entered his head 1 before. The
Deering Idea Mower likewise
surprises everybody that uses
one, they mow bac& to start
n o more. Surrated ledger
plates ball & roller bearings
and direct pitman thrust does
wonderful things. The people
steer shy of wobble points, zig
zag pitmans, and non adjusta
ble aras bars, and is welL they
do. They are as dangerous as
the single gold standard.
