of the Calhoun Chronicle dated 8/3/1897.
A four cornered fight on Millstone one evening last week was one of
the interesting topics of conversation. It happened to be a kind
of family fight in which old man Dillman and his wife, with A. O'Donald and
his faithful old dog Scott participated.
According to our informants, Dillman was the aggressor. O'Donald acted in the defensive
and Mrs. Dillman and the dog were trying to make peace, but they seemed
to misunderstand each other as the dog bit and gave her a dangerous wound.
The screams of the woman while the fight was on attracted the attention
of Squire Keith, who lives some distance below the O'Donald residence,
and he deputized F. N. Hays to go up and quell the disturbance and arrest
the guilty parties, which he did.
It was necessary to call a physician
to attend Mrs. D. Further than this reporter sayeth not. |
