A PROBABLE FATAL STAB.

About o'clock yesterday morning two mer
named Mike Boyle and Cornelius Hayes,
entered the saloon of B. Lucy, on
Second, between K and L streets, and
asked the proprietor if they could go into
the card-room and play game Ct
pedro. Consent was given, and they went
in, both being somewhat under the influence
of liquor. After playing awhile they passed
out upon the walk, Boyle going in advance,
and soon after, when short distance from
the saloon, got into an alteration about their
game when Hayes was stabbed by Boyle in
the lower portion of the left side, making, as
will probably prove, fatal wound. The
whole matter was so entirely between them
selves and without any loud words or CONVEX
sation, that even those in the immediate
neighborhood were not aware that there was
any difficulty until after the stabbing had
taken place. Soon after the act was
committed Hayes walked back into Lucy's
saloon, and remarked, "That man cut
me-" He was then accompanied by friend
to the Office of the City Physician, near by.
and upon reaching the hall leading to the
office fell in a state of exhaustion. The Chief
of Police was then notified of the affair, and
calling upon the wounded man obtained
personal description of Boyle, who was
stranger to Hayes. The Chief called to his
assistance officers Rider and Smith, Cafferty
Clocal) and Deputy Sheriff Barron, and &C.
companied by B. Lucy, search was instituted
for BOYLE and continued until about o'clock
yesterday morning when he was found at the
lower end of Front street and placed in con-
fnement at the city Jail. The wounded man
was also conveyed to the police station, after
his wound was dressed, and made as COM
Portable as possible and received all needed
care. The statement subsequently made by
Hayes to Chief Karcher as to the transaction
was that he and Boyle went from the Cali
fornia Hotel, on Front street, to Lucy's
saloon, and there played game of cards,
over which they got into dispute that
Boyle went out upon the walk and he fol-
lowed him. While outside he walked up
toward Boyle and reaching out his arm said,
g Here, let's go back and finish the game )"
that nothing was said or done, but Boyle at
once drew knife and stabbed him.
Hayes is an Irishman. IS years of age, and
has been in the State about five years, but
only recently came to Sacramento. Boyle is
also an Irishman, a little over 40 years of age.
He formerly worked in this city, but has
been away for several years. Has been OF
late at work on the Haggin & Tevis ranch,
and came to the city on Saturday. He claims
that he never before had any difficulty with
any one, but that Hayes knocked him down
on the walk and was coming at him again
as he was cutting some tobacco to FL his
pipe, whereupon he struck him with his knife
which he had in his hand, which is an ordi-
nary pocket knife.
