It appears Neilson told Rutherford the property at wall as house where 4joth famiUee live, Neilson havmg the right to dwell in a portion of said boas* until a stated time. It would appear that Bother- ford wished Neilson to leave the honse before hii time was up, and notified him to that effect, but Neilson could nut procure, or erect a place at this season of the year, so Rutherford endeavered to make things so un- pleasant that he would be forced to leave for peace sake. Not being suc- oessful, he threatened to "clean him out," aud on the above morning undertook to do so, he and His two sons and hired man, with iron poker and clubs. Neilson's man came t« kis assistance, but both were badly belabored by the other four, The four were arrested and taken to Owen Sound on Tuesday, where a maitis- trates court was to be iield yesterday. fc rw ACSE8 iIHrtfa of lot No. 1«, eon.
