A case has been venued here from Newton county that is of interest to those living in the north end of the county in the vicinity of Rose Lawn. Wm. B. Hancock, of Rose Lawn has brought suit against Wm. Eight, of the same place, for 92,000 damages. The suit is the result of the fight at Rose Lawn some months ago, in which Hancock had his bead cracked.

Hancock was badly used up in the row, from receiving a blow on the head from a gun barrel in tbe hands of Reuben Gundy. Hancock claims that Gundy became intoxicated with whiskey secured .at Eight’s place, hence the suit.
