THEY WERE BADLY INJURED
Mysterious Assault Upon Two Drunken
Men on East Washington.
BlOod-Unable to Tell What Hurt Them
One Arrest Made.

About s o'clock last night patrolman
Tomlinson, in pstrolIng lis district, found
two men lying upon the sidewalk on WASH
ingtOn street. between Noble and Benton
streets. The men were unconscious. but
whether this was duo to in%toxication
or an assault, which had evidently been
mad upon them. it was impossib BILE to tell.
1t was very evident that both were
very drunk from the fumes of
LIQUOR that was siokening. Half way
between the two streets named on the south
side of Washington street. stands q tall
elm tree half upon the sidewalk and half
upon the property of the Pennsylvania
found lying right alongside of the tree. 1t
was very apparent that the assault had
not been made for the purpose of robbery,
because both men had small amounts of
money in their pockets when found. At
the hour when the assault must have been
made there is @ large number of people
passing and repassing the place, and the as
sailants must necessarily have done their
work quickly and departed from the scene.
The men were smesred with blood. which
flowed from wounds about the head
and face made by some sort or blunt in
strument, and from the appearance of the
wounds when found IL seemed that the as
eault had been made but q short time pre-
vious. Patrolmsn Tomlinson called for the
patrol wagon. and. with the assistance of q
man named j. Bowers. the men were taken
In charge and sent to the police station.
where they were held for drunkenness. At
the police station it was deemed advisable
to call the police surgeon TO dress their
wounds. and Dr.. Durham. who 10 acting in
the stead of DR.. carp during the
latter's ILLNESS. answered the call and
bandsged the wounds. By the time the
men reached the police station they were
able to tell their names. which they gave as
j. II. Ryan and John Fitzgibbon. When
searched Ryan had in his pockets 81. % and
Fitzglbbon had 81 and q knife. Neither of
them. however. were able to tell VINO their
ASSISTANTS were or the cause of the assault
After their wounds had been dressed they
were confined TO q cell and in . very few
minutes both were asleep. but breathing
very hard.
About half an hour after they were
found upon the street patrOlmen Nc
Clellsnd and Crane arrested q man named
Jack O'Brien near the corner of Noble and
Washington streets. and sent him to the
police station for drunkenness and assault
and battery. He was laboring under q
heavy load of liquor and had two stones in
his coat pocket. It is supposed he bad q
hand in the assault upon Ryan and Fitz-
glbbOn.
