Friday September 22nd

I have disked all day but am not over the field. yet. This morning Dad. blocked up the line fence between Ben Ivey and us so that the sheep couldn;t get through, they have been getting very wayward lately and running all over Ben's place. He would have come back but Whit came after a steer and they had an awful time getting him I guess. They took. ine. By this after noon they had the engine fixed so Dad. had t go down and finish helping Mr. Fleming. The machine moved oveer to Jack Martin's but they didn't thrash any there. It began to rain about six and we had quite a heavy shower for awhile and then a quieter one for an hour ot two. I went down town after tea and went up to the Bagley's for a,ittle wile. Louise cam eup to-night to stay att Aunty's for awhile. I went down there and as it was rianing when I wa sready to come home so i stayed and slept on the sofa all night. Alan Law was telling Dad. Val Leany's version of his fight with Misner. According to him it was Misner who was doing the most talking and exasparated Val. till he slapped him. Then they clenched and Misner sdowned him but it wasn't long till Val. wa son top and he choked Misner till he "hollered" enough and said he was sorry and he wouldn;t have said so much if he hadn;t been drinking. So which is the correct yarn is hard to say, but I believe I would sooner take Val's word than Misner's.
