received very favorable notices from the

yesterday morning man named Fox
made desperate assault with stone
upon Joseph Upton, bar-keeper at
Lynch's saloon Fox was in the saloon
and was quite boisterous, so much so
that he was put out Fox then became
abusive, and when Upton went to shut
the door, Fox struck him with stone
over the right eye, inaicting very ugly
wound. No arrest has been made, but
if Fox is caught, he will probably be
made to suffer for what he has done.

and has many friends here.

be raised three or four feet, an excava
