BRUTAL AND U~SPRovoKED OUTRAGE
Yesterday afternoon as a colored man named
George Williams, who is a Whitewater, was
crossing the Canal bridge on Vineyard street,
on his way to Merwin street, he saw two
chunks of coal pass very close to his face,
flung with considerable violence. He looked
around and saw two men standing beneath
the coal Office at the east End Of the bridge.
Fearful to go on lest they should throw at
him oooin and suDrog;,n 4bok u.
employed in the coal yard, he entered the
coal Office and told o man who was in there
Of the occurrence. The man said they we're
not in his employ but we're probably canalsrs.
he stepped to the door AID asked the men
why they threw at the negro and they denied
that they had done so. Williams ssid some
one had thrown coal at him and started out.
As soon as the door was closed one of the
men seized a chunk of coal and coming up to
Williams struck him on the side Of the head,
knocking him down. He scrambled to his
feet when the other man zane towards him
with his fist drawn back as if to strike him,
but he svaded him and got into the office
again. The man in the office came to the
door and asked the men what the negro had
done that they should assault him in that
manner. One Of them said " will you stand
up for a id Niger? Send him out here
and III kill him. I'll kill any id mig
ger" They went of soon after and Will
liams vent to 3 surgeon and had his head
dressed. The wound was a large one, back
of the left ear and bled profusely. He aE-
forwards gave information Of the occurrence
to the police who promised to make efforts to
arrest the men. They are Irishmen. They
did not appear to be drunk. They are a
couple Of eOPperheads undoubtedly, at least
We should judge SO from their action.
Williams is q very peaceable man, and
says he never spoke to or saw his assailants
until they threw the coal at him. We hope
the misereants will be arrested and punished
as their conduct deserves.
We believe the ladies acknowledge that
the most stylish Bonnets come from Mrs.
shaw's Millinery Rooms, 236 Superior st.
