81 fF Policeman Gut.
A Hot Chase for the Man who ss'
saulted tho italian.

Early last evening serious stapDing al
fray took place in house in Potters lahe'
occupied by Italians who are engaged III
work upon the reservoir. Two men named
Angelo Bressaglero and John Sullivan, who
had been drinking, assaulted fletro Careil,
young man % years OF age ana came near
killing him. They knocked HIN down, and
then l}ressaglero drew razor and opened
Carelli's body in the lumbar region with
terrible cut nine inches long. Officers Usher
and Miles were soon upon the spot, and
when they saw how seriously the man was
injured Officer Usher at once sent for Dr.
Getchel', who fastened to dress the wound
Twenty-Five stitches were required to close
the flesh. The wound although a very
serious one, will probably net result fatally
As soon as Bressagllero did the cutting, he
fled from the house, FASTENED to Washington
street, and thence took his way as fast as he
could go for East Deering. He was pursued
by number of Italians who had witnessed
his frightful deed, and by police officers
Massure and Smith. On the neering side of
the bridge he was stopped by man who
succeeded in throwing him down. Bressag-
Hero drew his razor on the man and cut him
severely in the hand, causing him to let him
up. Then the Italian fed into corn field
and hid. by this time Officer Smith had
arrived. and a lot of boys hastened into the
corn field. Mr.. Smith went through the
field three rows to one side Of where the
man lay hid. Suddenly one of the boys
found him, and shouted to the officer WHO
was on hand in a moment. The italian got
up, ran little way and fell. This time Off
Ger Smith was upon him. Finding himself
thus over powered, the Italian again drew
his razor and slashed Officer Smith in the
arm. making cut about one inch long He
was about to strike again, when II strong,
active boy named Conneen snatched the
razor from him. Just at this moment. Off,
Ger Smith struck the man solid blow with
| his club and that put an end to his resist
ance. The patrol wagon soon came up, the
Italian was taken to the station, and phy
| stefan called to dress the wound made wheI
Officer Smith struck him in the head. HI
will have chance to tell his story in cour
and when he comes to face the law he prob
ably will regret his dangerous deed.
