Maxfield, Silas - 1860

LOCAL MATTERS.
----------

Fighting.-- On Sunday last two negro fellows-- John, slave to Miles George, and Silas Maxfield, free-- got into a fight on 17th street, John using a cane, and Silas a hatchet, but before either of them had time to do serious injury, they were arrested by a private citizen and locked up.  Yesterday morning they came before the Mayor, and were well striped for their bad conduct.
