STABBED SEVEN TINES.
FRED LEZOTT FEARFULLY CUT BY
LESLIE MORRISON.
A Drunken Row at the Railroad Bridge
Near Winooski and its Serious Results
Morrison Arrested and Held
for The Grand Jury.

A serious ARRAY occurred at the high rail
road bridge between this city and Winoosld
between Leslie Morrison and Fred Lezott,
both of Winoosiu, at "A late hour Monday
night. Both men are reported to have been
drinking, but Morrison was much more I'M
der the influence of liquor than his compan-
ion. The story of the affair is told as fol
lows: The men had gone together to place
kept by Jos phi Grafton at 236 North Wi
noosH avenue, where Morrison was invited
to stand treat, which he did,
buying some oysters for which he
paid. Some liquor was then or
dered, and dispute arose as to who should
pay for it, the men becoming so noisy that
they were told to leave. Morrison refused
to obey, whereupon Lczott, who is the larger,
put him out of doors where a fight ensued.
Lezott then started for home, taking to the
railroad track near Athletic Park. He was
overtaken by Morrison near the bridge
where another alteration took place, and
Morrison avowing his intention to kill the
other, drew knife and struck him on the
head, cutting cash several inches long
through to his skull, Lezott then grasped
him by the throat when he was stabbed
again in tho neck very near the iugular
vein. receiving a very serious wound. The
men then closed and fell, Lezott receiving
five more stabs in the side. shoulder and
back.
Morrison then ran, leaving his victim on
the ground. Lezott after time made his
way to Dr.. Patenaude's Office in Winoosd
where his wounds were carefully dressed
He was then taken to his home by Deputy
Sheriff Wheeler where he now lies in criti-
cal condition.
After leaving his victim, Morrison went
to Wnooski and meeting Deputy Sheriff
Wheeler on the street requested the officer
to take him home saying that he had had
fight with Lezott and was afraid some one
was waiting to kill him. After leaving
Morrison at his house the deputy sheriff
went to DR.. Patenaudes office where he as
sisted in dressing the wounded man. After
taking Lezott to his home and summoning his
father to attend him, the officer procured a
lantern and proceeded to the scene OF the
fight, being guided by a trail of blood
which was plainly visible the whole distance.
At the bridge he found Morrison's knife.
Morrison was then arrested, brought to Bur
lington and lodged in Jail at O clock Tues
day morning. He had a hearing before
Justice Deavitt of Winooslii the same fore
noon and was bound over in the sum of
$1,000 to appear at the September term of
County Court
This is the third time Morrison has used
his knife in drunken rows, and as he is
known to be a hard character he should be
severely dealt with This is almost the first
affair of the kind since Mr.. Wheeler's ap-
pointnent as deputy sheriff, and he is to be
congratulated on having secured the rutfian
SO promptly.
