BELLAIRE,

Late Monday evening Officer Shannon
Archer. and his brother Albert, had quite
a serious little racket in the Second ward.
Albert, who is very peaceful man when
oter but very reckless one when drink
ing, had INDUCED rather freely, andiwhen
Shannon found him on the street that eve
ming he attempted t. take him home. Al
bert was very noisy and abusive and was
becoming unmansgeable, and Shannon in
order TO quiet him threw him down in the
street. AS soon as Albert was released
and got on his feet he came at Shannon
with large sized pocket knife and began
irving to cut him. Shannon did his best
to keep him of, and knocked him down.
By this time he was spelling for fight and
still retained the knife. In slashlng away
at his brother he struck him several times
about the breast and legs and cut his
clothes all to, pieces. Shannon wore a
heavy coat which was literally cut 10
pieces, but his body was uninjured. He
only received two cuts above the knee,
which were slight. He finally got Al quiet
ed down and sent him home.
