Battle of The Blue Sea Greatly Exaggerated

Constable Zea says the reports of his trouble in evicting Jim Clark, in Milroy township, were wilder exaggerations than the early reports from Port Arthur, He says Jim never struck him at all, and never tried to; and that Lyman’s story is correct is evident from his appearance, as he bears no visible maiks of battle on his noble countenance He says that Clark, who is somewhat wrong in his upper story now, refused to leave the place and Lyman and several of Clark relatives removed him forcibly, but he did not put up any fight. Howsoever, whether anyone was hurt or not somebody was evidently pretty badly scared, when Christie Vick was telephoned for to come out with his hand-cuffs.
