A Citizen Stabbed Ten Times and Has Two
Einsers Chewed on.
Last night family residing at Juniper and
Kater streets gave ''wake." 1t was attended,
as usual, by not only the relatives, but also the
intimate friends. The affair was conducted
amidst peace and quiet until near o'clock this
morning, when John McKeown and William
Scower had words together. They were warned
out of the place, and accordingly adjourned to
the sidewalk, where they again got to wrang-
ling. All at once Scower cracked McKeown
over the head, which sent him reeling to the
pavement. scufile then ensued, during which
McKeown's fingers got into Scowsr's mouth, and
afterwards presented a sorry picture. A police
man then noticed McKeown lying on the pave
ment calling for assistance, with Scower over
him plunging knife into his body. He arrested
the manipulation of the weapon and locked him
up in the station. Returning, McKeown was
taken to the Hospital, where it was discovered
that he had no less than ten wounds in his side
and head. One of the former, it is feared will
prove fatal. Scower had a hearing before
Alderman Bonsall who committed him to await
the result of the injuries.
