in stating that the trouble in the neighborhood
southwest of Vernon was between George Hubbard and the
Millers. The row was between a man by the name of Newton
and the Millers, Mr. Newton being at the Hubbard place
when the row occurred. The only connection Mr. Hubbard
had with the matter was to try to pacify the
belligerents and received a blow across the head
for his pains. This paper knows Mr. Hubbard very
well, and knows him to be a very peaceful man and
even by implicating him in the row through
misunderstanding, it was not endeavoring to attach
any blame on him. However, as stated above,
the trouble was between Newton and the Millers."
