Fr. Murphy met with an accident yesterday, how we don’t know, for all his nose is bruised and his hand sprained. – Fell myself and banged my head badly. My head is terribly sensitive, and I am always getting headaches, so this won’t improve it. – This morning read that a poor civic guard was shot yesterday while at his tea, this being part of a series of Republican raids. It is disgraceful and seems as if we are going to have the old unrest again. The Republicans have won, by going to court about it, 2,000,000 dollars collected in America, so it looks as though they are going to begin a war against the Free State again.
