years for having killed man near the

Unexpected Assault.

The city editor Of the Avalanche,
Mr.. Walker Kennedy, was assaulted
and rather roughly handled yesterday
morning, about 2 o'clock, by man
named Efer, said to be a nephew of
Colonel NJ. O. Galloway, Of the Appeal.
Mr.. Kennedy had completed his work
for the Sunday morning issue and.
with his cane in one hand and q
package Of papers and magazines in
the other, he started down Main street.
When near the first alley below Mon.
roe he was overtakOn by Fifer, who
spoke to him as he approached, and
then in a friendly manner held out
his hand, Kennedy doing the same.
Fifer took a firm grip on Kennedy's
extended hand, and then with his
disengaged hand struck out several
times, hitting Mr.. Kennedy and bruis-
ing him considerably before he could
wrench himself loose. Kennedy at
oace launched out vigorously with his
cane, and one report says that he hit
his antagonist time or two.
others say Fifer was not
hit, but that Officer Jenny, who ran
between the oombatants, was struck a
rather severe blow and really received
the worst Of the fracas. The officer
arrested both parties. Fifer was re-
leased at the stationhouse upon his
appearance being vouched for by
three persons connected with the APP
peal, and Mr.. Kennedy was released
upon his own recognizaDce. 1t is
stated that Fifer lOiteTed about the
Avalanche Office for some time pre-
vious to the attack he made, and that
he visited the printers in the Compos-
ing room up stairs, doubtless with a
view of ascertaning when Kennedy
would finish his labors aud start for
his home. This morning Judge Had
den continued the case against the
parties in the Police Court until
Thursday at the request of Mr.. Ken
nedy, whose face is somewhat bruised
from the effects Of the man Fifer's fist
hammering.
