Eggs Thrown On Elliot Street

Event date: May 26, 1893

A contemptible piece of business occurred Saturday night. A man of “bizarre” appearance, who had committed no offence, was pelted with eggs by two lads, but their aim was so poor he was not hit. One of the eggs broke a pane of glass, and another struck a well-known Elliot street citizen and soiled his clothing. A young man on Main street is said to have bought the eggs and urged the boys on to their dirty work.
