Ross Borham and Nick Hirach are in
Jail here for u terribly brutal assault
upon Jesse Moore in Harry Beall's place
on Sunday evening. They were drink
ing and throwing dice for quarter. A
dispute arose, and Moore was appealed
to for decision. He decided in favor
of tho barkeeper, and thereupon the
boys set upon him and beat his head
and face to jelly. Both eyes were
closed, and it is yet question whether
his skull is fractured or not, where they
struck him over the right eye with a
handlbilly. The barkeeper and women
OF the place ran out and left them in the
bar room, and had 1t not been for the
timely interference Of Jack Gallagher
Moore might have been killed. A sim
pie charge OF assault is made in the
mayors court, bnt both men pleaded
not guilty, aud they will have hearing
this morning at 8 o'clock. Moore is
unable to BIO removed to his boarding
house. Two charges have been made
against Beall, one for keeping his saloon
open on Sunday and the other for per-
uniting gambling in his place.
John Shaunafelt was fined $50 and
costs by Mayor MCGOWAN yesterday on
a plea OF guilty to the charge of assault
ing Maggie 1rass, colored girl who
lives on Gravel hill. The offense con-
sisted in his waylaying the girl Sunday
evening. He caught her near the Fifth
ward School house and Rugged and
kissed her. She screamed and two
|
started in that direction. Shaunafelt
ran, but they caught him and took him
to the lookup, where he was turned
over to the officers. Shaunafelt is
white man and has wife and three
children. and this is not his first of
fense. He plead guilty to the charge
and admitted to the mayor that he
kissed the girl twice. His family con-
nections have heretofore sheltered him.
James Il. Knox, an old soldier who
says his brother is the mayor of Knox
vile, Tenn, Is confined at the lookup.
He was crazy drunk Sunday night and
turned up at the mayors Office saying
he had been robbed OF his money and
pension papers. It has since been
learned that he threw his pension

Some of the ladies will breathe easier
now that one of the huggers has been
caught, but Schaunafelt has not been
doing all of it. And good many peo-
pie think the punishment should have
been imprisonment, but S25 hug is
too expensive luxury to take many
chances on.
