130 YEARS AGO

Yesterday in Judge Cary's Court was the scene of a very remarkable case in the quarrel between two neighbors. John Buckley was charged with assault and battery and Henry Randolph with trespass. Buckley awoke the other night with his little dog barking. Usually, he goes with a shotgun, but it was out for repairs so went out after the intruder with a club.
