DESPERATE AND PERHAPS FATAL
AssAULr.-At an early hour yesterday
morning Philip McMahon and James
Rice, both working for Hank Blanch-
ard, Of this town, had a difficulty, re-
sulting in Rice striking McMahon on
the head with a piece OF board, inflict-
Ing a very dangerous and 1t Is feared
fatal injury. AS near as we can learn
the particulars are as follows: Rice
Is one Of the teamsters employed by
Blanchard, and McMahon, or Philip,
as he Is familiarity called, Is the feeder
Of the teams, or animals. Mr..
Blanchard told Philip to wake the
teamsters a little earlier in the MORN
Ing, as they were not getting out soon
enough, and In accordance with this
order, Philip proceeded to do so. Rice
objected to being aroused at that time,
and angry words ensued. Rice sprang
out of bed, took a strip Of inch board
standing near by and struck Philip a
severe blow ON top Of the head with it,
nearly knocking him down. This oc-
CURED at the house where they slept,
in lower Gold Hill, on the opposite
side Of Main street from Bianchard's
residence. Philip bled very freely but
managed to walk up to the office ofDr.
Hall, who rendered the requisite sur
Gical assistance. Rice was subsequently
arrested, and at noon to-day was taken
from the calaboose to the County Jail
at Virginia, for safe keeping till his
examination CIR take place, or pend
Ing the result Of Philips injuries. DR..
Hall Is not certain as to the fracture Of
the skull. and Is undecided as yet as to
the chances of his recovery.
