The NEGRO AND KNIFE, OR LAuRAs Re-
morRing the vicinity of Ram

greatest excitement, occasioned by desper-
ate encounter between negro woman named

been friends of the warmest kind, but an

over at least alive. So, watching this morn
ng for him, upon his approach accused him
IF infdelity, and, with desperation wrought
up to the highest pitch, drew forth her knife
md plunged it into the bosom of her lover.
Fortunately theiblow was warded very quick
y by the man, preventing the knife
rom sinking into vital part, though the
wound is about two inches in length and about
IN inch and a half deep just below the right
breast, making quite an ugly cash. Both par
les were arrested and taken before Judge
Staes. Joseph Samuels made an affidavit
Iga;nst the woman for cutting and wounding
With intent to kill.
He was dismissed and Laura remained for
1er appearance. She is very communicative,
and acknowledged to BULLETIN reporter
hat she cut Samuels. She bore the marks
lpon her head of having received a severe
blow, which Samuels claims to have gwen her
lfter he was cut. His wound though severe
S not dangerous.
