On Wednesday night Oct Sth, Mr..
Brown of the Valley House had the
privilege of playing the 'good Samari-
tam to certain man who went from
Newport to Barton and fell among as
sassins. This man-Standish by name,
of Stanstead-arrived at the Valley
House shortly after midnight in a
wounded condition. On removing his
clothing, the pressure of which had
somewhat staunched the wound, the
blood spirited several feet, and an ugly
cut was found in his back, just over the
kidneys, some inch or two in length and
two or three inches deep. DR.. Erwin Of
Newport Center who happened to be in
the house, was called down and succeed
ed in tying up the arteries and drawing
the cut together by plasters. Though
weak enough the next morning, Stand
ish went away and probably will have
little trouble with it, though his escape
was narrow one His account of the
affair is as follows: While waiting a
Newport with friend for the 9 P. NJ
train for Barton, he formed the acquaint
ance of one Tom Crowley. After ex
changing several pledges of undying af
lection over one of the Newport bars
Crowley lamented his inability to go t.
Barton the cause being that he had NJ
money. Upon this frank acknowledge
ment, Standish generously offered to pa,
his fare. and did, indeed, purchase hi
ticket, when all parties took passage il
the baggage car. Whether or not tn
J obligation was too much for the sensi
tive soul of Crowley, or some othe
cause, he soon started a quarrel wit
the other party, knocked down Standish
; and fell upon him, when they were SEP
; arated. Standish, ignorant of his inju
, ry, went on to Barton thence took
i. team for dance at Glover. but, takin
the wrong road. found himself near her
before he discovered his injury; he mai
urally supposing that the moisture o
his clothes came from bottle of brand
@ which had been broken in his pockt
during the melee. 1t is claimed we I'll
derstand. by the assaulting party. th;
the cut was made. by the broken gla
f from the bottle but as the instrumen
8 whatever it was, evidently entered fro
. outside of his clothing; and as tt
wound was found on the other side fro
/ the pocket which held the bottle, it do
e not seem likely that such could be Il
IS case. If it. be true that knife W
- used. the assault was serious one, al
the assailant should be dealt with a
cording to law.
