ABsENTMIYDEDNEss. - About 7:30 last
evening Matt Karcher called at the RECORD
UNION Office on business, and left his horse
and buggy in front of the building When
he went away from the Office, a few min
utes later, his mind was occupied with
other matters and he forgot about the
buggy, and walked to his place of business,
Second and X streets An hour or two
afterwards when he was ready to 90 home,
he was surprised to find that his vehicle
was missing from its accustomed place near
the corner, and, as he had no doubt but
that he had left it there, he felt sure that it
had been appropriated by some free-and-
easy individual. The police were notified,
and commenced a search for the property.
Chief Jackson got out his buggy, and went
down the Riverside road in search of the
thief or thieves, and, in fact, there was
brisk search inaugurated. About II
o'clock a friend, who had observed the
horse and buggy in front of the RECORD
| UNION office at u late hour, informed Matt
| that such was the case, and a messenger,
who was sent to see whether the turnout
was still there, returned in triumph with
it. MATHS next trouble was TO call in the
police and other searchels.
CmNAYAN SrABBED-About 10 O'Clock
| last night police whistle was blown at
| Fourth and | streets. and officer Rider, who
| responded, found that a Chinaman had
| been engaged in difficulty with some one
and been hit or kicked IN the stomach. The
| Celestial would not talk much, and the
| officer, concluding that he was not hurt be-
yond having his breath knocked out of
/ him, assisted him to his room and left.
| Half an hour later he was informed that
! the Chinaman had been stabbed, instead of
| kicked and that his bowels were protrHd-
| ing. The wounded man was as rcticent
| then as before but seemed to be suffering
greatly. The officer was entirely at sea as
| to the identity of The assailant, and as to
whether he was white man or Chinaman.
Some time afterwards W. r. Muir found a
man dripping wet on ] street, who SAID he
had stabbed Chinaman a while before be-
| cause he was trying to take his money
from him, and jumped into the river to es-
cape pursuit, but managed to get out after
wards. He was conveyed TO the station
| house, where he gave the name Of Antoine.
/ Whether from intoNication or insanity, he
seemed unable to tell what his full name
was.
