As the result of a cutting affray on the streets of the city Saturday night, in which E.J. Bayliss and R.E. Grear, both white, were engaged, Grear was in court this morning to testify with regard to the case, but Mayor Clark ordered it continued on account of the absence of Bayliss. The case will be tried tomorrow morning.
The two men are said to have been participating in an argument when Bayliss suddenly drew his knife and cut Grear across the shoulder. The wound inflicted was a painful one but is not thought to be serious.
