KITTY BOWMAK'S BONNET.
IT CAUSES HER LOVER TO RECEIVE
A KNIFE WOUND.
The q Honest Granger" and the L-street
siren-oscar Glover Stabbed by an
Unknown Person.

About half-past eight o'clock last even
ing young man WHO gave his name as
Oscar Glover, assisted by Gougey WEIGH
and man named Williams, appeared at
the Office of DR.. Simmons for surgical
treatment. He was bleeding profusely
from cut in his left side. The blade that
inflicted the wound was of about the
width of large pocket-knife or narrow
dirk. The cut penetrated the wall of the
abdomen, but it was impossible to deter
mine whether or not the intestines had
been cut.
WEIGH said he and Williams met Glover
on Second street, and learning OF his con-
dition volunteered to assist him to sur
geon's Office.
Captain Karcher was telephoned for
while Glover's wound was being dressed.
and he directed officer Arlington to place
WEIGH under arrest until the facts of the
affair could be learned.
Glover was visited by RECORD UNION
reporter, but he refused to talk about the
affair, beyond stating that he was on
Third street, between K and l., where
he met three men, strangers to
him. As he passed them one of
the trio quietly poked him in the
ribs, but he continued on his way without
knowing he was injured, and it was not
until he reached L street that he discov-
cred that he was bleeding profusely. He
said he then walked down L street to Sec
ond, where he met WEIGH and Williams.
Neither the police nor the reporters
placed any reliance on this story. 1t was
evident that Glover had made up his mind
70 h Co. -
cutting, and that nothing could be got from
him that would throw any Ii hit on the
affair. The general opinion was that there
was a woman in the case.
Just as wagon arrived to take the
wounded man out to the County Hospital.
Peter Rose, who keeps saloon on L street,
between Third and Fourth, came along
and professed to know something of the
circumstances under which Glover received
his injury. He said that woman of the
town, named Kitty Bowman, came into
his saloon a little after o'clock, in COM
pany with an elderly, granger-looking sort
of man, 10 get drink. They held
brief interview in his Darkroom and then
came to the bar. The old man demanded
of the tickle Kitty dollar and half, that
he had in moment of weakness and while
under the psychological influence of her
charming ~ presence given to her. She
refused to part with the lucre, and the
granger, losing his temper, snatched her
bonnet from her head and dashed out the
door.
Glover was in the saloon at the time. He
had been known as the friend and COM
paDion of the woman, and as the granger
disappeared through the door, Glover
started after him. What transpired outside
nobody seemed to know. Glover did not
return to the saloon, but few minutes af-
terwsrd showed up, as first stated, with a
stab in his side. The natural presumption
is that he overlook the fleeing countryman
somewhere in the vicinity and that the
latter turned and stabbed him.
Officer Carroll and brace of newspaper
men set out 10 find the woman who seemed
TO have been the cause of the row. After a
halt-hour's search she was found at Second
and l. streets. She seemed to be somewhat
under the influence of liquor, and posi-.
lively denied any knowledge of the affair,
and declared she had not been in Roses sa.
loon during the evening. The officer took
her to the City Prison, however, where
Captain Karcher ordered her locked up
Later she was taken into the office
and piled with questions, but persisted in
her story that she had not been in the sa.
loon, and had had no dealings with the
mysterious countryman. After while
however, she admitted all that Rose had
told, except the presence of Glover, whom
she declared she had not seen in several
weeks. She said she occupied Room 81 in
the old Grand Hotel building at Front and
X streets-the precise address said to have
been given by Glover to Captain Karcher
Nothing further could be learned from
her. She either could not or would not
give any description of her granger CON-
panion, and was again locked up to await
further developments.
Glover was sent TO the County Hospital
and the severity of his wound is not vel
known. He had ebst considerable blood
but went away smoking a cigarette He
was some weeks ago employed on the
H-stree. car line, but since then has been 6
hanger on of the dives about L street. He
has brother in this city, and his parents
live in Placer county.
