justices of the Peace in and for said county at my office in said town, 
forthwith, to give evidence in a certain cause, then and there to be tried 
between William H. Bartle, plaintiff, and GEORGE BUNTING, defendant, on the 
part of the plaintiff. Given under my hand this 13th day of January 1863. James

State of Wisconsin, County of Iowa
To the sheriff or any constable:
	Whereas William Henry Bartle has this day complained in writing to me 
on oath that GEORGE BUNTING did, on or about the 8th day of January 1863, at 
the town of Dodgeville in said county, willfully and maliciously maim, 
disfigure, injure and cut away the testicles of one boar pig, of the value of 
$5, the same being the private property of the said William H. Bartle against 
the form of the statute in such cases made and provided and against the peace 
and dignity of the state of Wisconsin, and he prays that the said GEORGE 
BUNTING might be arrested and dealt with according to law; Now therefore, you 
are hereby commanded forthwith to apprehend the said GEORGE BUNTING and bring 
him before me to be dealt with. [Photocopy left out the next lines.]

	“On complaint being made by William Henry Bartle, on oath against 
GEORGE BUNTING, a warrant was issued to E. H. Noyes, constable, who brought the

to the accused, he, the accused plead guilty to the offence as charged in the

state of Wisconsin in the penal sum of $100 to be well and truly paid if 
default be made in the following condition.”

	“The condition of this recognizance is such that if the said GEORGE 
BUNTING shall personally appear before the next Circuit Court in and for the 
said county to answer for the offence of mayhem and not to depart without the 
leave of said Court, then this recognizance shall be void, otherwise in full 
force and effect. GEORGE [his mark] BUNTING, John Simpson
