Keenan, who seemed to be defending himself from the assaults of the other three, drew a knife, whereupon he was viciously set upon and terribly beaten with a piece of fence-raii. Fenton wasthe principal assailant. Keenan was badly cut aud bruised about the head hM shoulders. For a time his life was despaired of.
