STABBED IN THE NECK.
William Dicks and William Richardson
Fight.

William Dicks, the painter, and
William Richardson, the draynan,
got into difficulty on Main Street
about Z O'Clock over debt of cents
and after a stiff fsticuf, in which
Richardson was worsted, Richardson
drew knife and stabbed Dicks in the
neck. Dicks bled profusely for a few
minutes, but an examination showed
shat the wound was not serious and
beyond bad fright he is little the
worse for the encounter. They were
arrested and on last Wednesday were
tried in the Mayors court. The evi-
o.ence brought out showed that Dicks
was mainly responsible for bringing
on the difficulty, though Richardson
was not without fault. The sentence
was 81 each or s days on the chain
gang.
