severely over the right eye, and binding his eye
with blood. Mr.. Hopkins Immediately threw

damage besides breaking his spectacles and par

would expect an explanation. This brought about
an UNDERSTANDING and a written apology was made

paper was signed by both parties and their friends
and acknowledged satisfactory"
