Two Augusta Girls Resent an

the Augusta Press.
ABOUT AN ACCIDENT.
Severely Lashed Mr. Kurtz
Over His Face.
Article Refers to a Brother of
One of the Girls.

Augusta, Sept &C. H. Kurtz. edi-
tor and publisher of The Press of this
city, was horsewhipped yesterday aft
ernoon by two young ladies of this city.
He was badly bruised, one eye cut,
and the blood streamed over his face
About o'clock Misses Iva Creel and
Minnie Kibby entered his Office, which
is upstairs. and without warning pro-
ceeded to lash him with two small
quirts.
Mr. Kurtz attempted to defend him
self and also cried for help His cries
attracted some men on the street who
rushed up and quoted the young girls
The trouble originated over what Mr..
Kurtz had published in his paper last
week
It appears that Berry Kfbby, aged 10,
a brother of Miss Minnie, was kicked
by a horse last week and almost killed.
Mr.. Kurtz in writing up the accident
for his paper said that the boy had his
skull crushed in and would lose the use
of one eye and have disf1gured face.
The boy would recover, he said, but
would not be so handsome, yet he would
be wiser and know more than to again
tickle a horses legs with a switch
This is what caused the trouble. The
girls will likely be arrested
