It was alleged that. pistols were brandished by another lot of farmers only a mile' or so from the finish of the hunt when certain riders were stopped and not allowed to proceed for several minutes.. It was reported that the farmers barricaded a path through which the trail was laid. When: the: leadet f the' hunt came up to the barricade he looked round for means of getting through as the flags, which indicated the end of the chase, were in sight.. Seeing no way out other than through a farmer's house, the leaders. of the hunt dashed into the front of the dwelling and came out by the back. It is said that in doing this they galloped through the farmers living room,' arousing his ire and causing a crowd to collect in a short while.
Two excited farmers were said to have pulled pistols from their gowns. Here again: the issue was settled after a short talk in which remuneration is said to have been promised.
