TUESDAY he had occasion to tell Long
THAT II he did not attend to his work
he would have to discharge him. Yes.
Iterday Long spoiled skin and 1t was
taken to his foreman who In turn
showed It to Mr.. Tadman.
While the foreman and Mr., Tadman
were talking over the matter Long
approached them and without one
word OF war ming struck his employer
on the side of the face, cutting II and
telling him to tho floor. Mr. Tadman
picked himself up and ordered his as
saliant to leave the building, Instead
OF leaving, Long struck him again In
the eye, which badly confused that
optic. Long then left but was arrest

In sentencing the prisoner the judge
remarked thut drunkenness was nc

for long time. He therefore sell
