Yesterday morning, out on the Silver Springs road work, the men were treated to a diversion from their labors. It happened in this way: Augus tus Wilkinson, an ex-convict, stepped up behind another negro, and tried to hit him in the head and would have succeeded but for another man yelling to the attack ed party to look out, when he es caped the blow aimed at his head with a shovel,which,if it had struck ':him, would have proved fatal. Wilkerson slid the reason he tried to kill his man was that he had refused him, Wilkerson, work. The man he tried to kill had a small contract on the work.
