It seems tha George Knight, as he got of from tn boat train from Stafford, was assaulte, by man named Elijah Barrows. Bar rows kicked Knight in the stomach an, then picked up a club and knocked hin down with 1t. Knight was taken int, Charles Nichols where his eye, whicl was badly damaged, was bathed.

He was fined $1 and costs, whicl amounted to about $10.
