A FRANKTON SENSATION.
TWO MEN AMOK. [I)Y TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Hamilton, Friday. The customary calm L of the peaceful township of Franktcn was rudely disturbed yeaterday afternoon by two young men —Pascoe and Dobbinson—running amok and assaulting everybody they encountered. They took to a stranger,belaboured him unmercifully, and when ha sought to escape by entering a barber's shop, they followed and dragged him out on to the road. A workman named Holland made a verbal plea on the stranger's behalf, and for his intercession received an injured jaw. Several others who came within too close proximity escaped with slight injuries. The assailants afterward 3 opened a general assault with road metal on a large crowd of onlookers, and succeeded in breaking a large asbestos aign. The two men, who had been familiar figures in Hamilton during the past few weeks from their perambulations with cart loads of fruit, were each fined £lO and co3ts in Court to-day.
