Campbell, as stated in these columns a few ' days ago, in his altercation with several men down in Strong's mill was not so much to blame as tbe report indi cates, so he says.

This he resented which led to some words and t hi eats during which Mr. Campbell, being an old man, picked up a piece of slab wood to defend himself. Three men rushed upon him and knocked him down . He further states that he is a man of peaceable disposition and does not eo around iookinsr for trouble.
