Notes:

[SERIOUSLY WOUNDED-At Pittsburg last Saturday evening a difficulty came up between Craig Gragg and Robert Ridings Jr. son of John Ridings, in which Ridings was stabbed three times once in the back and abdomen and once in the side. The wounds in the back and abdomen are very slight but the one in the side is more serious, and would probably have been fatal had the knife not struck a rib and glanced off, severing the rib nearly half in two..]


Note: Robert is identified as a JR. but his father is John.
