| A PERSONAL DIFFICULTY occurred i'm an
| uptown restaurant yesterday between George
| w. Driver and his brother-in-law, named + !.
| Fletcher Knapp, a clerk in the quartermaster
| generals office, in which Driver drew a pis-
| tOl and snapped it at Knapp, but luckily for
| the latter it did net explode. He was, how.
ever, handled pretty unceremOniously by his
/ asSailant. as the marks on him show. The diff.
| iculty it is alleged, grows out of family
| trouble OF very serious nature.
