special to the Gazette.


DALLAS, TEX. May 2s.-Mr. L. CAL
houn, travelling representative of the st.
st. Louis Globe Democrat, had rather
unpleasant experience this afternoon on
Market street, just north of the Alliance
building. He had been to the building
on business and was returning towards
Main street when he was approached
from behind by two persons, one of
whom kicked him IN the small of the
back. MIR. Calhoun looked to see who
was his assailant, when the man who
kicked him and whose hand was covered
with blood, struck him a blow in the
neck. Seeing that he was in danger
of great personal injury, if not of his
life, Mr.. Calhoun reached in his pocket
and drew his knife, and would doubt
less have siashed hole in his
assailant had not the other par
ty grabbed him, saying, 'You
mustn't touch him.. The assailsnts
and his companion then hurried away,
leaving Mr.. Calhoun dumbfounded over
the sudden and unprovoked assault upon
him, as neither one of the men bad ever
been seen by him before. The man who
struck him had evidently just been in o
row as his hand was bloody. and the sup
position is that he mistook Mr.. Calhoun
for some one else. The blood from his
assailant's hand stained Mr.. Calhoun's
neck and collar, and he stepped into a
place close by TO wash it off. He learned
that tho name of the man who struck him
who is q white man, is Sam Stevenson,
but does not know for certainty that of
his companion. Mr.. Calhoun reported
the matter to the police, who offered to
look up his assailant and have him pros
ecuted, but business compelling Mr..
Calhoun to leave tonight for New Or
leans, he could not wait to have this
done. That portion of the
city where MIR. Calhoun was
assailed is resort for tough
characters and requires close police sur
veillancs. The openness Of this assault,
however, has given Mr.. Calhoun a rather
poor opinion of Dallas. He thinks life is
not as well protected here as it should be,
l$when man is thus assaulted in the mid
die ofAhe day.
