Said if ever I catch you on Grandmothers place or anywhere up that way I will blow hell through you." Robert [[Cavitt?]] said "Wallace you are wrong. If your Grandmother does not object you ought not to do so." 

Wallace Ivy said that he did not care a damn that I should not come on the place. Robert [[Cavitt?]] said to me "Dennis you can come to my place and no one shall hurt you there." They then left me and went back toward town telling me to go to Calvin Ivys and not to come to town. Robt [[Cavitt?]] saying "Dennis you can see that we can do as we please yet."

I then went to Calvin [[Ivys?]] and told him what they had done. He paid me up and I went to West Point and reported the case to J. G. Baptist Mayer and Ex Officio Justice of the Peace. He told me to go to Okolona and see the Provost Marshal there as it was out of his jurisdiction being out of his County. Then I came here.
