A CUTTING SCRAPE.
Young Charley Koch Knitted by His Rival Last
Night 1t Dance on South Fourth.

Last night about II O'Clock a cutting
scrape occurred on South Fourth between
two boys, in which one Of them Charley
Koch, received an ugly cut.
From young man who was an eve wit
ness to the occurrence ard protested ia
miliarity with the case 1t was learned that
between the two boys, William Harris and
Charley Koch, neither of them over 20,
there has been for some time an Ill feeling,
growing out of the fondness of each of
them for the same girl, one Miss Belle
Rogers The HAIRLESS came here
rom Bloomington, Illinois, about
seven months ago. and shortly
afterwards, when young Harris became
attentive to Miss Rogers the trouble be-
gan. The rivals met several times and
their meetings WAS not Of the most friendly
character About week ago the two had
lively ses-to in which both were more or
less bruised about the face.
Last night both OF the boys were in at
tendance upon a dance given on South
| Fourth avenue. Young Harris had, 1T
seemed SO far ingratiated himself into the
affections of the young lady, that his rival
was compelled to take a way back
seat This angered young Koch
who waited outside the door aud as soon
as his rival came out with the object of
their mutual affection leaning upon his
arm he struck at Harris. 4 rough and
tumble fight ensued and Koch seemed to
have the better Of it, when he was pulled
OF young Harris by one of the bystanders.
The latter thus released took from his
pocket a knife and striking ar Koch buried
it up to the hilt in his body just above the
hip bone Koch cried with pain and sank
back into the arms of one of the persons
near by. Officer Ponce arrived upon the
scene, arrested both OF the boys and took
them to the police station. Against Koch
was entered the charge Of disturbing the
peace, and against Harris using knife.
The latter was locked up in the city
prison; the former removed to his home,
No. $40 English street. DR.. ST.. John was
called and an examination made of the
wounded man showed that he had re-
ceiyed a deep, ugly cut, the knife
entering the BODY, as before stated, just
above the hip and glancing along the bone
had gone in to the depth of--the doctor
thought-about four inches. The injury
is of such character as to cause consid-
cradle pain, and may yet result in some
thing of far more serious nature than
was at first supposed.
Shortly after the incarceration of young
Harris his parents learned of the affair
and fastened to the police station. The
mother appeared almost distracted with.
grief at the unfortunate affair, and would
not leave until she had gone into the cell,
comforted aud talked TO her hayward son.

with a revolver pointed at his head and
invited 10 hand over his pocketbook, see
ing he was attacked by only one man very
soon decided to show resistance. He grab
bed the revolver and holding it with one
hand in short scuffie had a knife ready
for action. He gave the foot pad
a cash on the head when the scamp
turned 10 run and as a parting mark
gave him fearful cash across
the small of the back which exposed to
the elements the region beyond the back,
The fellow kept running until he reached
neighboring joint where he gave his bad
luck away and one who took pity on him
took him to room and had him cared
for. The man attacked proceeded home
thinking himself quite lucky to get away
with the fellow. For once 1t can be set

REVISING CITY ORDINANCES.

Attorneys Douglass and Moore has com
menced work on revising the city ordi-
nances and preparing the same to be
printed in book form. They report finding
the Job of even greater dimensions than
they had anticipated and much greater
task than had been provided for by the
council. They claim that the 500 limit
provided by. the council is much below the
amount given for such work by other
cities, and much below what they expect
from the council if they do the work. As
a result, the much talked-of question of
revising the ordinances Will probably
come up before the council again at its
meeting Monday night.
