1860s newsprint

June 23, 1863, Weekly Columbus Enquirer (Georgia)

            The Milwaukee correspondent of the Chicago Tribune (Republican) says:

            Another disgraceful scene occurred in our city this afternoon, similar to that of a few days since.  An enrolling officer, while engaged in his duties in one of the wards, was attacked by a large number of women armed with clubs, stones and other missiles, who very seriously injured him.  He succeeded in escaping from the infuriated vixens by taking refuge in a grocery near by, and the mob dispersed without committing further outrages.
