P. ", yesterday, a serious stabbing
affray occurred at the Columbus Brew
cry, Gold Hill, which may prove fatal
to at least one Of the parties. Quite a
number of men were in the saloon
drinking at the time. Two of them, J.
D. Bray and William Benefits, both
Cornishmen, got into a quarrel together,
growing, it is said, out of an old grudge,
and it resulted in Benefits knocking
Bray down. Then they had a cliuch,
and while on the floor together,
Bray drew a knife with which he
stabbed BENEFITS badly in the back and
other places-the stab in the back be-
ing the worst, penetrating his lungs.
No one Jaw Benefits have a knife, but
Bray is severely stabbed in the right
thigh, in one or two places. Most peo-
pie seem to think he did it himself.
Officers Crandall, Harkin and New
house being near at hand, rushed in
and arrested Bray. DR.. Zabriskie
dressed his wounds, and az soon as o
commitment could be made out he was
taken to the county Jail at Vir-
giuia. His examination will take place
on Saturday next. Benefits was so badly
wounded that it was not worth
while to arrest him, therefore he was
taken to o cabin near tho Railroad
House. DR.. Hall, who is attending him,
saws the stab in his back is near the
right shoulder blade, and penetrates the
lung, for air comes out through the
wound as he breathes, aud he also spits
blood. This is a most unfortunate at.
fair, for these were two young men who
grew up s~choolmates together in their
old home in Cornwall. We understand
that while on his way to the county
Jail, Bray expressed feelings OF deep
regret, speaking Of Benefits as his best
friend.
