stormy weather before the month is over.

say that they are cordially welcome at all times to the use of the rooms.

Tuesday a complaint was filed by Ivan Shrimm, a young fellow who works for
Hugh-McDermott near Alvord, charging Herman Stade and Sam Carr with assault and battery, and their examination was held yesterday before Justice
Fairlamb.  It seems that Shrimm was engaged last fall to a sister of Carr's
who jilted him and married Stade.  Shrimm claimed to have advanced money to
the woman and had written her letters demanding the settlement of the debt. 
Monday afternoon Stade and Carr came to the field where Shrimm was at work
and after some talk a fight occurred and Shrimm was badly pounded on the head  with a pitch fork handle.  The defendants claimed that plaintiff began the
fight, and that they simply defended themselves, but from the evidence
Justice Fairlamb concluded they were the aggressors, and taxed them each $5
and costs.  And they were lucky to get off so easily.
