Fight Breaks Out at Meat Market, Sept. 1, 1924

Negroes Fight at McDonald

When Ed. DeBerry, colored, walked into Ed. Toon’s meat market Saturday in McDonald and began to abuse and curse, Toon proceeded to use his sharp knife on DeBerry. Several lacerations were made, but none was serious.

Sheriff R.E. Lewis was summoned and Rural Policeman R.C. Miller went to the scene and placed Toon under a $100 bond for his appearance before W.B. Ivey this week.
