Something About a Cutting ARRAY Which
Need Not Have Happened at All.

Something About a Cutting ARRAY Which
Need Not Have Happened at All.
The News and Observer says: \ most
unfortunate cutting affair took place on
last Tuesday evening about dark on the
grounds Of the Raleigh male academy.
The principals were young Percy Whit.
aker and Alex 3. S;ronach, Jr. 1t seems
that for some time the parties concerned
have been unfriendly. That evening
young Stronach and some friends met
Whitaker by accident at the place above
stated and a quarrel unfortunately en-
sued.
For awhile the fight was a fair fist and
skull arrangement, Whitaker perhaps
having the best of the fight. The friends
of Stronach perceiving this, according
to many, cried out to him, "cut him, cut
him." and it is thought that a knife was
placed into ~StrOnach's hand by one of
the boys. With it he cut Whitaker
badly, Whitaker standing up to him the
while, until they were finally separated.
Whitaker tainted while walking away
and was carried to Capt. G. B. Denson's,
where he still is. Although badly hurt
it is thought that nothing serious is to be
feared. The greatest sympathy is ex-
pressed for both of the families. Percy
is a son of Judge Spier Whitaker. The
boys are about 10 or 1G years of age.
The latest news last evening was that
the conditions were favorable for Percy's
recovery.

They Were willing.

One Of the last important measures Of
the commonwealth Of Massachusetts, be
fore Maine was made state, was to nego-
tiate with the PenobscOt Indians for the
purchase Of their rights in large tract Of
forest land, and some very eminent gen
tlemen were selected TO carry out the bar
gain. After the signing OF the deed with
all due forrnality by the assembled saga
mOres at Bangor IL was necessary for them
TO 'acknowledgc it," a. the legal phrase
is. One Of the stately commissioners held
up the paper and asked "if they acknowl-
edged IL TO be their free act and deed"
The result WAS the red men gathered
their blankets around them and relapsed
into state Of stoical Indifference. giving
no sign Of reply. General Blake, who was
present, had had much 10 do with the In

MRS. RAwsoN NOT MARRIED TO CARTER.
The present Mrs. Rawson stated that,

license was issued in this city to G. E.

has been supposed that the two were
married, but according to Mrs. Rawson
No. 2 no such occurrence ever took
place.
Last evening Mrs. L. A. Rawson No.
l called at the HERALD office and stated
that Mrs. L. Nj. RAwson threataned her
life and WAS the aggressor in the street
scene. and had sworn out the warrant
for protection.
On being questioned as to the mar
riage license she stated that il was evil

that she had not been married to Car

tended for some other lady, as she had
frequently received letters from the post
office addressed to those initials, but
which were not intended for herself.
9. d. Carter, the driver, also stated that
no such marriage had taken place; that
the initials were almost similar, but that
the license was not gotten out by him
nor for him.
Mr.. Rawson is in San Francisco.
