Tip Gilpin, young man from London
County, who has been employed at Eding
toms rock works, were drinking at Mauser's
bar yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, and became engaged in a
difficulty, in which Foley struck
Gilpin with a beer glass. Quiet was re
stored, and Gilpin left the bar, but was
overtakep and attacked by Foley, just at the
lamp post on the Lamar House corner
Gnpin turned on Foley, who was very
drunk, a slight scuffie ensued, Gilpin, with
struck him several icks, getting him
downl Gilpin then ram as for his
life up. Gay street, ON the east side Foley
jumped up, gathered rock and followed
him half way up the square, and then threw
it with tremendous force. The rock struck
the brick wall and crumbled to pieces.
Foley then rather staggered across the
street, when it was seen he was bleeding,
and commenced yelling from pain. He
was taken into Mr. Aurin's store, and DR..
S. B. Boyd summoned. He was found
to have a bad cat in the top of the head,
one in the arm, and two stabs close together
in the bowels, Just to the left and below the
naval, which were the most serious hurts
He was given surgical attention, taken home
and the wounds dressed by DR.. Boyd. At
latest accounts Foley was in a critical con-
dition and the result could not be foretold
Gilpin turned the corner of Church
street and ran right into officer
d. r. Hicks, of the police force, who was
sitting with DR.. Boyd on his Office steps
He was still running, with knife in hand,
and scared nearly to death. Officer Hicks
halted him, brought him up and found
what he had done, and he and Officer Nose

he waived examination and was sent to jail,
to await a hearing in the Criminal Court.
