John Johnson Cuts ThaddeuS
Atkins Throat With
Knife.

A row between two darkies &C.
Cured in North Seda'ia Saturday
night, which may result in the death
of one of the participants.
John johnson, a colored man who
works around town and Thaddeus
Aikens, an employe at the NJ, k. d
L. hospital, met al a certain resort in
North Sedalia and got into a quarrel
over a woman. The fuss finally ter
minated in a fight, in which Aikens
seized Johnson's lower lip between his
teeth and bit it entirely through.
johnson, in the meantime, was not
idle. Drawing his pocket knife with
a blade nearly three inches long
he made several desperate
slashes at his antagonist, one of which
took effect in Aikens' neck, inficting
a horrible wound from which the
blood gushed in torrents. The parties
were then separated and Aikens was
taken to the hospital where he lies in
a critical condition. The surgeons
sewed up the cash in his neck, but
will allow no one to converse with
him, as the slightest effort to talk on
lis part causes the blood to gush forth
in a stream. Therefore it is impossi-
BILE to get his statement of the brutal
and bloody affair. A warrant was is
sued for JohnsOn's arrest this morning
by Justice Halstead and he was ar
rested and brought before the justice
about ten o'clock. Not being ready
for trial his hearing was set for We'd
nesday morning at ten O'Clock. In
default of bond he was committed to
the county Jail to await trial.

THE TABLES TURNED.
Tim DOnOhue Let Off With a
Light Fine and Taylor
Holt Arrested.

Justice Halstead's court room was
crowded to-day by witnesses and spec
tators interested in the case of the
State VS.. Tim DODohue, who was
charged with ieloniously assaulting
Taylor Holt with a knife at the bap-
tismal gathering on Flat Greek last
Sunday morning. DOnohue was
represented by Hon. w.
ID. Steele. The evidence dis
closed the fact that Donohue had
gone to the meeting considerably I'm.
der the influence of liquor and that
Taylor Holt, (who, by the way is a
member of the Salvation Army and
not a deacon of the Baptist church,
got into a controversy with him and
slapped his face. At the close of the
meeting the quarrel was renewed and
Donohue stabbed Holt in the back
inficting a slight wound. Donohue
tried to escape but was captured at
McGirk by Sheriff Smith, and brought
back. The defense was that Holt
who is a big six-footer had provoked
The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1889-04-23

the row by slapping DonOhue
and by drawing knife on
the latter. Holt admitted the charge
that he hsd drawn a knife but claim
ed that he had done so in self defense.
The evidence sifted down seemed to
show that both Of them were guilty
of fighting and disturbing the assem-
blage.
After summing up the evidence,
Justice Halstead decided that ID ma
hue could not be held for feloniOus as
sault and Donahue entered plea Of
guilty and was fined FIVE dollars and
costs.
Prosecuting Attorney Longan then
filed an information ag inst Taylor

Holt PLEAD guilty 10 assault and
was fined 81. 80 and costs.
While the conduct of young DJna-
hue at the meeting was reprehensible

of disturbance, and will probably be
prosecuted under that law.

AN EARLY BLAZE.
HinSdale &Menefee'S Large Feed
and Sale Stables Destroyed
by Fire.
Cause of the Fire UnknOWn-LOsS
$4,000. Insured for
$1,000.

At S:15 this morning an alarm OF
!, fire was sounded, and it was not Ion, g
before it was known that the large
feed and sale barns OF Hinsdale d
Mepefee, occupying half block in the
northwest corner of Usage and Pettis
street were in flames. An immense
volume of smoke and flame overhung
that vicinity and it was not long un-
til several thousand people mad con-
gregated to witness the confagration.
The fire department made speedy
run, both companies arriving on the
ground and were throwing water in a
very few minutes, but such was the
infammable material of the structure
and IFS contents that all that could be
done was to save adjoining buildings.
Officer Phil Kelley's residence stood
lust TO the west and it narrowl Y es-
capped cremation. In half an hour
the fire fend had glutted itself and
the site of the stables and sheds pre-
scented black and smoking mass OF
debris.
How the fire originated is not
known. Nobody was on the premises
at the time, Messrs. Hinsdale and
Menefee not yet having returned from
breakfast. Some colored boys on the
street gave the alarm, and John Lom-
asney who lives near rushed out to
find the sheds on the east side Of the
main barn in flames. He rushed into
the stables and found fifteen or six
teen head of mules and two or three
horses i'm the stalls. He rapidly open
ed the doors and gates and rushed the
animals out the back way into the
alley from whence they made their
way to the streets. Most of the har-
ness in the stables was saved, but sew
eral wagons were scorched A large
amount of corn oats and hay was de-
stroyed.
From the locality in which the fire
started, it is surmised that some one
must have been smoking in the mule
sheds, or else it was the work of an In
cendiary.
Mir. Menefee was seen by a BAZoo |
reporter soon after the fire and that
gentleman stated that while he could |
not give the losses exactly they !
would approximate $4,000
The buildings were erected about
two years ago at a cost of between
four and FIVE thousand dollars and
the loss on the contents, consisting
mostly of feed, will run the losses up
to the figures given above.
Mr.. Menefee said he did not know
exactly what the insurance was, but
thought it was between $4,000 and
$4,000.
1t was fortunate that so few ami
mails were in the stable or the result
would have been more severe. Only
a few days ago, Hinsdale IL Menefee
had 200 head Of fine mules in the
stable at one time.
The damage 10 the Phil Kelley res
idence, next house east of the barn,
will amount to about $500, fully
covered by insurance.
There was SO, 900 insurance on the
building, insured with the following
companies of which A. P. Espen-
scheid is the agent. Continental
81 1000, Northern $1,000, Anglo Ne
yada $1,000. There was also 81 900
On the hay and grain, insured with the
Queen INSURANCE. company. The in
surance covers just about one-half of
what the building cost.
