of the Calhoun Chronicle dated 11/20/1894.
On last Sunday a week two young women engaged in a most disgraceful
fight near Oka, in this county. One girl by the name of Bina
Hunt
was seriously if not fatally hurt. A dozen or more men stood by
and
did not interfere until she was pounded by her antagonist into
insensibiity.
She was finally helped to her feet and brought to life and she
immediately
set up a tirade of profane abuse, and kept this up for some distance
along
the road and finally fell in an unconscious state from which she did
not
recover for several hours and the last our reporter heard from her she
was in a critical condition. The other girl who did the Sullivan
act was a Miss McClain, daughter of Wm. McClain, so well known in this
country a few years ago for the numerous cases in court in which he
was
a witness. The affair will be investigated at the next grand
jury
court and for the sake of the good people of that community the
punishment
should be so great as to forever deter others from engaging in like
conduct. |
