Star City, IN.
Dec. 30,1898.   Perry Wilson, of Jackson Hill, has been heard from again. Last Saturday night he got into an altercation with a man named Llewellyn, of Linton, at the Jackson Hill saloon, and when the latter’s back was turned Wilson struck him with a weapon of some kind, knocking him down and beating his head and face into an almost unrecognizable mass, beside tearing the clothes off his victim. As usual, Wilson is at large, no one daring to molest him.
