	20250127GHLn- A Lively Scrap. W.H. & John Wetzel Bear Witness in Justice Swan's Court. Sistersville Oil Review Sistersville, West Virginia • Wed, Mar 30, 1898 p5 CLIPPED BY wetzupdoc • 27 January 2025 • A LIVELY SCRAP Justice Swan's Court the Scene of the Disturbance. DISPUTE OF ATTORNEYS Strickling and Underwood, Ended In a Mixup - Mayor Morey Held Court. The Evidence in Full - Case Appealed! Last Saturday 'Squire Swau held court, trying the cause of Mrs. S. Y. Seymour vs Mrs. Mary Campbell. , C. E. Pyle and J. H. Strickling were the plaintiff's council, with G. D. Smith and L M. Underwood representing the defendant. During the cross examination of Mrs. Seymour, a dispute arose between Underwood and Strickling over a suggestion which Underwood said Strickling had made and which Strickling denied. After a few words Strickling called Underwood a liar, and then they mixed. Mr. Strickling received two blows in the face, one of them cutting him badly above the eye and knocking him against the wall. Underwood was pushed backward, fell over a nail keg asd Strickling gave him one on the back of the head and they were then seperated. It was found then that Underwood had two bad cuts on his right wrist and was pretty badly used up. At the time the affray begun Mr. Strickling had a small pocket knile in his hand and was whittling a pine stick, and it was with this that Underwood was cut while Strickliug's right thumb was almost severed That the cutting was purely accidental is claimed by Strickling and is borne out by the testimony of witnesses who testified before Mayor Morey. It was probably done while Underwood was stricking at Strickling and the latter was attempting to ward off the blows from his face. The Star is not in the habit of giving, notriety or publicity to such unlortunate affairs but as this is an incident, one ot the chapters in the Court House trouble, it feels that it is due to both Mr. Underwood and Mr. Strickling that its readers should be fully intormed as to the facts. This is our excuse and reason for giving a ; is of the evidence in the triai. j 'ach pleaded '"not guilty" and ea n was fiued $5 00 and costs, but Mr. Underwood's fine was increased to $10.00 at his request in order to appeal. We do not give the evidence to either party concerned, but Underwood claims Strickling cut him purposely, which Strickling denies, and in which he seems to Dc sustaintd by the evidence. EVIDENCE. W. H. Wetzel says that he thought Strickling struck the first blow, but was not sure. Strickling did not strike as if to cut with the knife, not as witness would use knile if he wanted to cut a person. Both arose at about the same time, but Underwood was a little ahead. John Wetzel -- Heard the lie passed; Strickling called Underwood a liar. Mr. Underwood pushed Strickling I thought, but do not know which struck the first blow. Think Strickling either pushed or struck Underwood. They were about six feet apart sitting. Underwood took a step to\vard Strickling and took hold of him as if to push him; couldn't say that he saw either strike. Both went down out of my sight behind the table. B. Swan ? Pyle was between Strickling and Underwood; Underwood started to get up after the lie was passed; Strickling was fending off Underwood's blows; Underwood wejit backward; don't know which struck first; Underwood hit Strickling and Strickling retaliated; Strickling struck Underwood behind the table while he was down. It appeared as if both wanted to get together; don't know when cutting was done; Underwood got up first ' and stepped toward Strickling. C. E. Pyle ? Underwood said i Strickling did say it; Strickling says, '"You lie." The first blow that I saw, Underwood struck Strickling above the eye; Strickling struck Underwood while he was part down; Underwood first arose, but Strickling closely followed; both seemed willing to scrap- Underwood made the advance and came over toward Strickling. There was no effort on the part of Strick lick except rising to his feet; Strickling was behind where he was sitting, was retreating, did not ad vance till after Underwood struck Strickling; saw no effort on the part of Strickling to cut Under wood; Strickling was whittling on the other side of the street when I engaged him to help me; Strickling was in a position to cut Underwood when he pushed if he wanted to; Strickling made a move as if to sit down; he was in a position to cut Underwood seriously if he had wanted to; he must have have cut Underwood when he pushed him with his right hand; don't know certainly when Underwood was cut. Crandall ? Saw Underwood step toward Strickling; Underwood to >k hold of Strickling and shoved him a time or two. Underwood struck Strickling first, and then pushed him; Underwood got up first; Strickling stepped back and kept on going; Underwood struck Strickling twice, and then Strickling shoved Underwood; did not see Strickling try to cut Underwood; the knife war in a position not to cut Underwood. Mrs. Seymour? Saw Undeiwood strike at Strickling twice; Underwood struck first blow; saw Strickling push Underwood twice; looked like Strickling started the fuss by calling Underwood a liar; did not see any effort on the part of Strickling to cut Underwood. B. A. Weruecke ? Underwood took hold of ^Strickling; Underwood struck him twice; did not see Strickling strike. It may be that Underwood was cut while Strickling was warding off Underwoou's blows. Did not see the cutting. John Krug ? Underwood reached over, took Strickling by the arms and shook him; Strickling pushed Underwood and he struck Strickling above the eye. Do not know when cutting took place. When Underwood was down Strickling struck at him with his fist. Kd Brown ? Underwood stepped toward Strickling and took hold of nim, shook and struck him. Did not see Strickling strike Underwood. Walter Barnes- Underwood arose to his leet and approached Strickling. I had hold of Strickling's arm. Saw Underwood strike Strickling and knock him back toward the book case. Under w<fc)d struck the first hard lick; I had hold of Sickling's right arm. C. D. Watson- Underwood said yesterday that he would call him, Strickling, to account.? Star. ? ? -m . - So w In Tlie Time To purify your blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla. March, April, May are the trying months of the year. At this season your blood is loaded with impurities which have accumulated during the winter, and these impurities must be immediately expelled. Hood's Sarsparilla is the One True Blood Purifier. It is the medicine which has accomplished many thousands of remarkable cures ot all blood diseases.

It will be a small one, however, as no second flood will be experienced. The flocd catching the Virginia and Queen City as it has may cause a change in their schedule. The last news of the latter named boat was that she was lying below the Parkersburg bridge, being unable to pass under. The Virginia was to have passed here at noon today but will not be down before Thursday. She will leave Pittsburg tomorrow. The Argand will pass down for Parkersburg this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The Ben Hur will go up at 7 a. m. tomorrow. The Ruth and Argand will be in tonight on regular time. They are expectcd to have big trips. The river here continues to fall and the worst is all over. The shores are in an awful plight. The tow boat Jim Wood passed down this morning. For K? nf The W. James Anderson farm, 74 acres, four miles back of New Martinsville, W.
