A TERRIBLE AFFAIR!
Jerry Canty Stabs Dick Roche, who msy
die. The Fight.

Rumors of another horrible tragedy in
Znlu were retailed abou, town on Thursday
evening, and later developments confirmed
the first reports of what may end in murder
Jerry CAVITY. the little but pugnacious
Zulu saloon keeper, was filed with just
little more fire water than usual on Thurs
day, and entering down town saloon, en-
tered into conversation with Dick Roche a
newly arrived glass man. Roche is hand
some, stylish young man, of athletic build
and in fact fellow who prizes himself not a
little upon his physical proportions and
muscular power. Roche made some remark
or other about his ability as wrestler, and
CAVITY, who has never, SO far as his record
can be traced, allowed man to make
statement without Offering to bet upon it
Immediately pulled out fifty dollars. slapp
ed it on the bar and offered to produce man
10 throw Roche. Roche demanded the name
OF his man, and CAVITY named John h.
Hickey. Roche didn't put up, but intimsted
that he was Q bad wrestler. This enraged
CAVITY, who began to abuse him, and finally
the barkseper ordered both men out Of the
house. They met again in another saloon
on Madison street, and things grew so warm
that their quarrel ended in blows, but friends
separated them before much damage was
done.
CAVITY felt revengsful, however, and in
the evening began hunting for Roche with
the avowed intention Of "doing him up"
Roche, who boards at Louis Gagels saloon
and boarding house, across the street from
Cantys saloon in Zulu, went to his boarding
house ct about ten o'clock, and while stand
ing ct the bar, Canty came in and rs'opensd
the quarrel, calling him vile name. AT
this Roche struck CAVITY, sending him across
the room as though he had been shot from q
cannon. He WAS then put out BY Gsgel.
Whom he had disappeared, one Of the men in
the saloon said that Roche ought to be
ashamed Of himself to strike small man
like CAVITY. At this, Roche became entangled
in another wrsngle, which led to this man
and friend opening fight with him. He
Was too powerful for them, however, and he
threw them to the floor, holding them down.
At this juncture, Canty rushed in with q
heavy pocket knife in his hand and began
cutting and slashing Roche with all his
strength, until he was pulled off by Gagel.
Roche fell to the floor, where he lay, weiter'
ing in pool Of blood, until medical assis-
lance arrived;while CAVITY, wiping his bloody
knife on the leg Of his pantaloons, walked
over to his own saloon as unconcerned as
though he had done deed of charity. He
was shortly after arrested and placed in the
county Jail. Roche, whose clothing was
literally saturated with blood, was taken to
his room, where his injuries were examined.
The artery at the temple was severed, the
throat cut on the side, barely grazing the
juglar, and deep stab was found under the
shoulder blade. The latter wound is the
most dangerous, and may prove fatal. CAVITY
has placed himself in bad FIX whether the
man dies or not.
