Mr. Douglas McIntyre, an employee of the Grantham Drug Co., was badly injured Friday about noon when hit by a large glass bowl thrown by Mr. J.V. Williamson, proprietor of the Battery Service station.
According to eye witnesses, Mr. Williamson was engaged in a conversation with Mr. McIntyre, during which there was some discussion about a note which, it is alleged, Mr. McIntyre had paid. Some one cays that Mr. McIntyre called Mr. Williamson a crook, after which Mr. Williamson picked up a drinking-cup holder and threw it at Mr. McInture, who dodged it, but who received the full force of the large bowl thrown by Mr. Williamson immediately after he threw the cup. A physician was quickly summoned and several stitches were required to close the lacerations on Mr. McIntyre’s head. Examination showed that Mr. McIntyre’s skull bone had been slightly grooved by a piece of the glass.
Mr. Williamson says he does not remember throwing the bowl, but that he does remember the cup holder. He says he cannot remember anything that happened between the time he threw the cup holder and when some one was calling for a doctor.
