The Oskaloosa Independent,Jefferson County,Saturday,May 1, 1880 May 1, 1880

On Tuesday a couple of brothers who reside near Winchester were in this city,
and deported themselves very badly, at least one of them. Of course, the first
thing was to imbibe bad whiskey enough to "raise the devil." This done the next
thing was to do the devil's work. One of them went to Geo. MILLER's house, who
resides upstairs in the old Woolley building, and made insulting proposals to
his wife, who took a stick of stove wood and drove him down the stairs with a
number of blows well laid on, one of which cut quite a gash in the eyebrow,
which had to be fixed up. During the night he went to the house of another
colored man and frightened his wife out of bed and to seek safety elsewhere.
Such conduct is beastly and disgraceful to the last degree. We have on one or
two occasions withheld the names of these boys--or one of them--because of their
parents who reside at the east, and would be greatly shocked to know that their
boys were behaving so badly; but we shall spare th!
 em no more, if after this they disgrace themselves by such acts as have
heretofore been done by them.
