Assault: Saturday, evening between five and six o'clock, Chas. Bass and Fred Johnson in company with John Parrish, south of town tanked up with liquor and went to the reunion grounds where they secreted themselves in the hollow entering the grounds from the east near the spring for the purpose of card playing. Some trouble arose and Parrish was attacked by Bass and Johnson and was severely wounded on the back of the head. J. W. Turner who at the time was not far away, heard the boys while in the difficulty. Mr. Turner thought the boys must have been on the road leading east from the grounds and started to see what the trouble was. When he approached the hollow he saw Parrish running from the two other boys and saw a rock thrown which struck Parrish on the head and knocked him down. The boys discovering Mr. Turner struck across the hill. Mr. Turner went to Parrish whom he found bleeding profusely. He took him to near Will Hawk's residence and had Mr. Hawk phone for the sheriff. Parrish [Paris] was brought to town and his wounds dressed. He had three gashes in his scalp but no serious injuries. The other boys made their escape but Fred Johnson was placed under arrest Sunday morning. Bass has not yet been found. Parrish claims that the boys attacked him and robbed him of five dollars. Johnson is out on bond.

In another column we stated that John Parrish was assaulted by Chas. Bass and Fred Johnson. Later we are informed that his name is Newton Parrish instead of John.
