WHITESBURG News

A serious difficulty occurred at the residence of J. Rice in Douglas county, 
between E. H. Rice and James (Bud) Teal of Carroll county.

Mr. Teal had reportedly mistreated his wife, who is Mr. Rice's sister, and she 
had left home and gone there with her children. Mr. Teal followed her and some 
words were passed between him and Rice when a combat ensued. Teal struck Rice 
eleven times, mostly on the head with a hammer, and then Rice got the hammer 
and knocked Teal down and got on him and beat him with it. Mr. Rice then let 
up and made him promise to leave the state and made him leave there in a 
hurry.  June 29, 1881.
