About a quarter mile outside Elm Square on Essex Street milkman John May was assaulted while delivering milk for Milo H. Gould at 5:30 p.m. Saturday
Milo H. Gould owned the farm at 102 Gould Road.
April 30, 1899. May was accompanied by his younger brother Gordon. Gordon stayed on the milk wagon while John delivered milk to a customer. While John was away from the milk wagon, four men in a horse-drawn “carry all” pulled up and one asked Gordon for a drink of milk. Once he had finished his drink, however, the man refused to pay. John then returned to the milk wagon and demanded payment, which was again refused.
