(The Evening Tribune Times March 27, 1923)

Mrs. Laura Arwine of the sixth ward, brings us a copy of the Hornellsville Tribune, of January 29, 1852, giving amoung other things a history of a riot on the Turnpike, in the town of Howard that resulted in the killing of a man and serious injuries of others, with a request that we publish it.
This is too ancient a piece of news to be worthy of much place now, however it will be interesting to recall an event that greatly interested our country over 44 years ago.
A "protracted meeting had been in progress at the red school house" about four miles from town, on the turnpike and a party of men, whose names were given, resolved to break it up. They went there and created a decided disturbance and later when some of the members of the congregation went outside to look after their horse, they were assaulted in a villainous manner, with clubs, and one of them, a mr. Irway, was dangerously injured. Mr. Irway died in Hector,N.Y. , in 1890.

The Mr. Irway mentioned above was the husband of Laura's half sister Mary Smih Erway. He was Benjamin Erway. This is probally why Laura kept the article all these years.
