Description
“A Negro Boy Dangerously Wounded.” - - On last Friday morning, a negro boy in the employ of Hon. E. H. (Elijah Hise) Norton, becoming offended at Mr. Norton's little son about 12 or 14 years old, commenced an attack upon him, throwing rocks, &c. Although the negro boy was several years older and larger than the little white boy, the little fellow made a successful charge on the negro and striking him with a baseball club, placed him hors du combat. The negro is still lying in a dangerous condition.
(Researcher's Note: John W. Norton, born November 17, 1858, may have been Judge Norton's 12 or 14 year old son.)Date(s) of Creation
