FALLS VILLAGE
Norman Rice on a Rampage

Norman Rice on Rampage Norman Rice, prominent member of the colored population of Sandtown, inn mortalized himself on Wednesday by coming home from somewhere with an over load of o-be-j joyful and. getting into & strenuous argument with his mother. By way of emphasizing his argument he banged her on the head several times with an iron stew-pan, infiicting some painful wounds. The old lady finely took sufficient interest in the discussion to ''come back" at her filial assailant, aud buckled into him to such good effect that she blacked his eye and drew blood from his proboscis, and succeeded in overpowering him and getting him down on the floor. A neighbor who heard the fracas caused word to be sent to the authorities and Deputy Sheriff like" Hornbeck went up and brought the man down for trial. He was arraigned before Justice Miles Blodgett. pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and expected to be let off with the nominal fine. The serious nature of the assault, however, induced the Justice to bind him over for trial and bail was fixed at $500. The prisoner was unable to obtain bonds man and went to jail.
