He went down the street and found the man standing at the corner of Or ange street. He asked him if he had assaulted the woman. On receiving a reply in the affirmative, George, who is quite an athlete, swung fds right and landed squarely on the nam's Jaw, knocking him down. The man arose and was again knocked down.
