A Colored Fight
A Hard Lick and a Very Hard
Fall
Bunk Miller and John D.
Wheeler, two negroes, fell out
while unloading some hay in this
city Saturday, when John laid
low Bunk with a big stick. The
lick was on the side of the head
and severe, rendering him un-
conscious. Bunk fell on the ce-
ment pavement and cut a gash in
his face, not regaining conscious-
ness until late that night and has
been in a precarious condition
ever since.
The Wheeler negro was arrest-
ed and gave bond before City
Jundge Carmack in the sum of $50
to apprear for trial Tuesday, E.
L. McGhee and T. W. Martin
being his bondsmen.
On Tuesday when the case was
called Bunk was unable to attend
trial and the case was continued,
this time bond fixed at $1,000
and John placed in the jail at
Elkton to await orders from the
court.
