Messrs. Robert Whitesides and Thomas
Love, of Hickory, S. c., were in the
city last Thursday, selling cotton. ''''''
Just over the state line, near Grover,
on last Sunday a week ago, there
occurred a fight or fracas in which
Henry Howard, a white man who
worked at Jackson's saw mill, was
right badly used up by blows over the
head with a gun in the hands OF Frank
Turner, also white. 1t seems that all
the participants are trying to keep the
matter a secret and hence we have
failed to hear it "on time" The three
men, Henry Howard, Frank Turner
and his brother, Bud, were drinking
and carousing around together and
when they came to Turner's house
and were about to separate, fell out
and Howard was struck over the head
with gun by Frank Turner. Turner
then was about to continue his assault
on Howard, who had been knocked
down and senseless, but Bud remon-
strated with him for such cowardlce,
whereupon, Frank fell upon him and
bit one of his fingers very badly.
Howard was left lying outside OF the
house all night in this condition, and
next morning Mr.. Jackson, hearing
about the fight, sent over and had
Howard cared for. Our Informant
says at last account, the wounded were
improving and hoped the matter would
end.
