BOYS AND MEN FIGHT.
One OF the Latter Gets Quite Badly Hurt
Other Cases.

George Patterson and James Troy. two
colored bows, became engaged in quarrel
| Thursday night on the corner of st. James
and Duyal streets. Patterson threw a rock
at Troy, and then the two closed on each
other. and a fight ensued. During the
| struggle Patterson was cut in the back
with a penknife which Troy had in his
| hands whiting with before the fight COM
| menced, but his wounds were not severe.
The two boys were separated, but TAT
| terson reappeared in short time accom-
panied by his father, who was in great
rage. When Troy saw Patterson accom-
panied by his father he took refuge with
| friend named Forester in the house of W.
| L. NJ. Forester.
Patterson then made attempts to enter
| Forresters house, but Forester refused to
allow him To do so. Words followed and
| Patterson struck Forester on the head,
| inficting a serious wound.
RESISTED THE OFFICER.
Patterson was subsequently, arrested on
| warrant charging him with feloniously
| assaulting Forester. When Policeman j.
w. Matthews attempted TO arrest him he
refused to 20 with the officer and became
very abusive but was afterwards taken 70
| the station-house. where an additional
charge was preferred against him for re-
sIsting the officer and creating a disturb
ance on the street. Patterson'also swore
ont warrant for the boy Troy, charging
him with felonously cutting and wound
ing his son George.
BEFORE COURT.
When the case was called in the Police
Court Yesterday Forester was unable to APP
pear. and the physician who attended him
stated that his left side was paralyzed from
the effects OF the blow on the head. This
case was continued until August 10th. Fol
resisting Officer Mathews Patterson was
! fined $40.
Troy was discharged as the evidence
| showed that he had not commenced the
quarrel, and that Patterson without cause
| struck him with brick. The testimony
also showed that the cutting of Patterson
| by Troy was accidental.
