MILFORD BAD COLORED
Element IN EVIDENCE

Last Tuesday night the bad element
Of the town seemed to want to show it.
self in several parts Of the town. The
first disturbance occurred when John
Gordy, q negro, who was very much
under the influence OF liquor, tried to
kill another negro IN the section OF Mil.
ford known as "JimtOwn". Scarcely
had the quiet been restored when an
other negro, named Townsend, also
under the spell Of too much fire water,
ran amuck aud tried to carve two more
negroes, a man and woman. The wo.
mans finger was badly cut and was
just hanging when the doctors were
called to dress the wound. 1t is more
than likely that the finger will have
to be amputated; Later in the evening,
the people on North Walnut Street we're
alarmed by a loud crash. Investiga.
tion showed that a man had either tried
to eLter the house Of Thomas +. Ham
mersley or that they were stealing
grapes from an haIbOr which is directly
beneath a window in the house. 1t is
thought that he intended to enter the
house. The crash scared him away,
but in making his escape he lost his
hat. By this means it is hoped that
he can be traced. For some reason
there was more liquor in Milford on
Tuesday than is usual. This is ac-
for ell OF the trouble.
