Another serious difficulty occurred in this township, near Wayne county line, on last Thursday. D.A. IVY had a “log rolling” at which Lewis HINSEN and Henry SUTTON had angry words. HINSON gave SUTTON a blow with a hand stick, which felled him, not dead, but senseless upon the spot. SUTTON remained several hours in an unconscious condition. HINSON left and at last accounts had not been captured. SUTTON was doing very well on Saturday.
