A Queer Hungarian Custom Causes .
Riot at Constable Hook
A stabbing affray that narrowly escaped
being homicide took place this forenoon
in the Constable Hook section Of Bay
onne. The participants were Hungar-
'fans, and the fracas originated over the
peculiar Hungarian celebration of Easter.
On Easter Monday it is the custom for
the men to throw water over the women,
who retaliate the succeeding day. This
morning the custom of water throwing
caused much sport throughout the colony.
Several OF the young fellows, who were
somewhat the worse for liquor, finally
got into an alteration and came to
blows.
Andrew Kolar, youth of nineteen, was
attacked by George Parubsky, aged thirty
i've years. Perubsky aimed blow with
knife at Kolar's heart, and the latter
parried the thrust with his left arm, re-
celving severe stab wound.
Then one of Koiar's companions used
his knife upon Parubsky until the latter's
clothing was covered with gore from sew
eral deep cuts about his face While the
disturbance was at its height Patrolman
Gorman arrived and separated the COM
batants. He arrested Kolar and Parub-
sky. They had their wounds dressed by
DIR. Z. p. Luce at Headquarters. The
latter is seriously injured. Recorder
Besher remanded the pair.
