aiurday which resulted in the serious
cutting of Jim Polk Thomas by Charlie
English. 1t seems that Tom English
had some words with a negro, and that
he and his brother Charlie afterwards
assailed the negro, striking him sew
eral blows. As the English boys pur-
sued the negro through John Heller's
premises, they came upon Thomas, who
was talking to Sambo Twyman. Tom
English said something to Thomas and
some oaths followed English then
picked up chair and struck at Thorn
as. As he did so, Thomas warded OIL
the blow and dealt Tom English lick
in the face with his fist, knocking him
down. In the meantime Charlie Eng

struck his brother, cut him eight
times. four times in the back, twice i'm
the head and twice in the right arm,
inficting several ugly wounds. Out
side parties interfered and prevented
further injury. Thomas has sworn out
warrants for the English boys and sew
eral other parties. The affair is very
much to he regretted, and would never
have occurred but for bad whisky.
