UnprovOked Assault.


Walter and Tom Leonard assault.
ed George Pig Saturday night and
came near be?ting him to death.
The three negroes left the square
together for their homes in darkcy
town. There had been no quarrel
between them and Pigg, unsuspect-
ing trouble, walked inadvance Of tie
two Leonards. At the corner OF
Broadway street where they were to
separate the laouurds struck pilr
in the back OF the head with a club
or knucks and ielled to the ground.
The lick rendered him unconscious
and while in this condition the Leon.
ards beat and kicked him nearly to
death, cutting several gashes in his
head to the bone. The Leonards
would probably have killed Pigg
outright had it not been for the in.
reference of another colored man
who appeared ON the scene just in
time. Pigg was taken home and his
wounds were dressed by a physician.
Sunday morning Pigg armed himself
and went cunning for the Leonards,
but the two left town and have not
returned. Pigg is an industrious
negro, quiet aud peaceable until in.
posed upon or riled, then he is con.
sidered dangerous and it is well to
let him alone and keep out of his way.
The colored population almost to
man give the Leonard boys bad
name and say they are lazy, worth.
less and bad citizens. One OF them
has done time in jail. The town will
be better of and perhaps they will, II
they never return.
