STABB1NG AFFRAY.-Just before nine o'clock
last evening Frank E. Harris, the driver OF a
baggage wagon and a vender of ice cream, was
passing up Monument street with his ice cream
wagon, when some one threw stone at his
cart breaking down his candle and setting fire
to the canvas. He jumped from the wagon
and was attempting to find out who threw the
stone, when a large crowd gathered and a fight
soon ensued. Michael O'Donnell struck Har-
ris several times in the face and kicked him.
Harris cinched him and a serious strife took
place. When O'Donnell arose it was found
that he had been stabbed twice, once in the hip
and once down through the shoulder. Both
wounds were severe, and it was thought at one
time that the one in the shoulder would prove
atal, as the knife partially severed the nam
artery. The wounded man was taken to his
home and Drs Tolford and Merrill called. He
is known as big Mike and is quarrelsome.
Harris was arrested and locked up. He is an
inoffensve man and the officers think that il
