- Charley Brown, of
- A
bloody cutting affray occurred at New Richmond last night which will in all
probability cost Charley Brown his
life. Brown was in town and got to drinking with three young Kentuckians. The
party left the saloon and began quarreling. When in front of Jake Burris’ store
knives were drawn and the three Kentuckians assailed Brown most wolfishly. His
throat was cut, an eye almost gorged out, his cheeks laid open in a dozen
places and his breast and arms fearfully slashed. He almost bled to death
before the doctors were able to stop the flow and the chances are all against
his recovery. The Kentuckians escaped.
