Omaha to have time, and selected this
'Joint'' for one of the resorts to visit. He
had only so cents when he arrived at the
disreputable place, and the negresses in
formed him that that amount of money
would buy them small bottle. They drank
q pint of beer. Williams protested against
such luxury with the last half dollar he pos
sessed A fight ensued ana the young man
who had been accustomed to tossing loaded,
double trunks down two flights of stairs was
struck in half a dozen places over the head
with the glasses, apparently all at the same
time. He imagined that crockery store had
turned loose on him. Before he could turn
around, and while trying to defend himself,
one of the women slashed him across the left
wrist with razor. The main artery

cut in the back of the head, the result of the

on the sidewalk and was picked up by po-
liceman and sent to police headquarters,
where physician was summoned to dress
his wounds.
