The Knife in St. Andrews
Saturday night lat an Indian lad, a resident at the point, was trying to take home to their camp, his brother, who was under the influence of fire water. The drunken aborigine plunged a knife into his brother’s leg, inflicting an ugly gash. A number of young men belonging to town, procured wire switches and gave the culprit a severe lashing, which caused him to howl with pain, and also to solemnly avow his determination for the future to let rum alone.
