BOSQUE CITIZEN
SEPTEMBER 23, 1886
Mr ZAN HANNA, of Iredell, knocked, last Friday week, Mr PETE CLEMENTS on
the head with a billet of wood which broke his hand and perhaps fractured
his skull. Mr CLEMENTS was reported on Saturday in a dangerous condition but
it is hoped the skillful Drs TYE, WYSONG, MORGAN and HERBERT will be able to
save him. Mr HANNA under the charge of an aggravated assault was bound over
to county court in the sum of three hundred dollars.
