A SPADE Flush. = Yesterday morning
about o'clock John Eberhardt and Jacob
Ride, who reside near each other on |
street, between Twenty and Twenty
third, got into a controversy, when Rider
struck Eberhardt with a garden spade over
the head, cutting long and deep wound
down the center of the forehead, and con-
tinuing its bloodthirsty work as it caromed ON
his nose. Eberhardt then succeeded in wrest
ing the spade from his antagonist and struck
him in return with the same, cutting fright
full wound over and through Riders left
cheek, making a cash of several inches in
length. Both were now bleeding like
slaughter house, when Mrs. Rider came upon
the scene and shouting Murder" got hold
of the agricultural weapon and welted, as
only woman can strike, Eberhardt over the
head with it, and then set her dog
on him. Nothing since has been
heard from the dog, but Rider, with only
himself, wife and dog on his side, proceeded
to the police station and swore out a warrant
for Eberhardt's arrest, which an officer
sought to make, but could not find him.
Later in the day, however, Eberhardt APP
peared at the police headquarters and ex-
hibited unmi,takable evidence Of having been
badly handled, whereupon be was taken into
custody under Riders warrant, and after
giving bonds he procured warrant for the
arrest of Rider, which was probably effected
during last night.
