DAD HENDERSON Onct more Chrismas is almost in our midst, and scairsly a few days until it will be a thing of the past, as you might say. It has always been our custom to write a editorial piece about Chrismas long about this time of year, whether we have got anything special to or not, and we shall not depart from our custom this season. Our subscribers always looks for this Chrismas editorial, and we hate to disappoint them. Judging by the movements of the tin rooster on top of Eph Higgins's postoffice during the past few days we calkilate that Chrismas this year will be cold enough to freeze the ears off a brass monkey. But the brand of weather a feller wants on them as has got a lot of firewood cut.

Subscribe for the Bugle. II AiosBillyeUP.ailLfiial LIGHT They was a big law suit before our ac- complisht legal light and justice of the -peace, Amos Hillyer, last Tuesday afternoon, p. m. It was the case of Jethro Jennings vs.

Henry Peabody, for assault and battery. It pears as if Jeth and Hen, who live on adjoining farms west of Blngville been on gwod terms for a long spell back. It started about on whose side of the fence a apple tree was on, the law suits concerning which some of our older citizens will remember. Well the apple tree died, but the hard feeling twixt Jeth and Hen Why even their wives to call each other names. Last week one day Jeth went out taking his gun and his dog to hunt rabbits on his own land.

As he was along close to the line fence twixt him and premises the dog jumped a rabbit which run through the fence onto land like the devil was after it. Jeth he jumped over the fence and tried to head off the rabbit and chase it back on his own land again where he could shoot at it with a easy conscience. Well, about that time Hen run of the house and ordered Jeth to git right off his premises or kick him off. Jeth said he wanted his rabbit and was to have it. Hen said it was his rabbit which he had been feeding corn to all fall.

Jeth said he was a liar that the rabbit had been under his haystack since last April. Hen said he let nobody call him no liar and ho started for Jeth. Jeth stepped backward and fell over a log onto his back, the. gun going off -at the same time missing head by about a foot. He thought Jeth had shot at him and he jumped onto him and begin to assault and batter him and otherwise maim and kill, as set forth in the indictment as charged.

Jeth hollered for help and his wife, Maria, hearing his yells run to his assistants and DAD HENDERSON laying holt to Hen who was sitting on her husband swatting him on the nose, pulled out 2 handfulls of hair. Hen then hollered for help and wife come to the rescue. She had had her in dough, but that so she lit' into Je.th’s wife and they scratched each other up some, but otherwise they was uninjured. then the dog come back from chasing the rabbit which he ketch being as. he is old and most blind In one eye and can't see very well out of the.other the dog natcherly wanted to do what he could to help nis master, so he run in and bit him on the leg a couple of times before he.

found out whose leg it was and then being, as he was probably afraid of getting killed he lit out like Sam Hill for home. By this time all 4 of the participance in the struggle was out of breth, so they called each other a names and went DAD HENDERSON home. Jeth jumped on a horse nnd roue into Blngville and went to Arne Hlllyer's, where he swore out a warrant for Hen's arrest, dead or alive. Seth Dewberry, our courageous constable, executed the tvar- rant by going out to and hollering it at him acrost 2 fields. The law suit was well attended, almost all of our representative eitlzens and many of their wives being present.

Judge Hillyer examined the 4 witnesses to the tragedy very critical and then said he would have to deliberate awhile before he could render a just verdict, so he tilled his pipe and begin to flgger up how much he around town, which amount he found to be $18.25, which, by the way, includes $5 back subscription to the Bugle. "Then after thinking the matter over very serious and consulting his Jiggers, Judge Hillyer divided the costs of hearing the case, charging the plaintiff and defendant $8.12 1-2 in all. Jeth says he satisfied and will have vengance, if he has to carry the case to the soopreme court, wherever that is. Four days has elapsed since the lawsuit. but vve have'not received the $5 from Judge Hillyer as yet.
