Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1893-07-15

| OF tne once popular, pretty and chic
Fay Templeton, was assaulted and bad
Iy beaten early Saturday morning by
sporting man named Reed Waddell
! The story is a tale Of two cities and
the origin of the trouble dates back
! to Paris two years ago.
Waddell was a high flyer at that
time among the young sporting element
in Paris that frequents the Grand hotel,
The American bars and poker rooms.
When Osborne arrived in Paris he
recognized Waddell as n man who had
a history in New York and elsewhere
and advised his friends to fight shy
of him. Trouble was then threatened
by Waddell, but nothing came of 1t
at the time.
Osborne recently visited Paris and
he and Waddell came together again.
Waddell had ba Sed Yignaux in his
billiard matcl against Schaefer and
won upward Of $4,000,
He was doing the grand in a distant
! land when Osborne again arrived on
| the scene and again circulated stories
/ regarding Waddelrs character. The
| usual mutual friend, Of course, repeated
! Howell's allegations to lVaddell, who
/ sent Osborne a forma, declaration that
he would lay him out the first time
| they CHANGED to meet.
/ Howell backed down and offered to
withdraw his remarks and apologize,
but Waddell wouldn't listen. The feud
was not patched up, but the men did
not meet until last Saturday morning.
/ Osborne was seated in Burns oyster
house in Sixth avenue near Forty
| fifth street about one o'clock.
/ His companions were two wo nen
and an elderly man.
/ Waddell entered and, not noticing
/ Osborne, was passing on to a table
when he heard his name mentioned in
a derogatory manner and, turning, was
confronted by his old enemy.
/ AT last" he exclaimed. ~ told you
I'd lick you on sight and here goes!'
The men were at it hammer and
tongs in a second. With his first blow
! Waddell knocked out OsDorne's two
beautiful front teeth The second
BACKED both his eyes and before Wad-
dell could be dragged off he had knock
ed Osborne out completely, receiving
in return only a slight cut over one
eye
The restaurant was in a state Of
wild tumult and Waddell, taking ad-
vantage of the confusion, slipped out
and disappeared.
Osborne was picked up, washed off
and taken home.
As Waddell walked away gentle
man in evening clothes approached him
and, grasping him warmly by the hand,
said
~ don't know who you are, but l
congratulate you on licking that fellow.
He has needed it for a long time"
Osborne had engaged rooms at Holly
wood, Long Branch, for the Fourth,
but has not yet gone there,
The affair has been kept a profound
secret and the police have as yet TAX
en- no action in the premises nor Is
it likely they will.
Waddell was very fearful that he
would get into serious trouble over the
fight and took Mr. Abe Hummel into
his confidence. Mr.. Hummel has per-
sonally promised to Superintendent
ByrneS to produce Waddel any time
he is wanted.
Waddel's nervousness arose from
the natural cause Of having a history.
He is an old friend and associate OF
Grand Central Pete" the king of
the buncoers, and was also mixed up
in the little game in Boston whereby
the late Charles Francis Adams was
Z induced to give up checks for a large
amount of money.

He is said since then, though, to have
reforme completely and given up his
: former ways and associates. SupcrIn
tendent Byrnes, convinced Of his good
intentions, has allowed him to remain
in New York dependent on MS good
behavior.
It is not thought that the mere fact
Of having licked Howell Osborne for
cause viii suffice to bring him again
under the ban of the police.
He is a medium sized, good looking
man, clean shaver and always fault
lessly dressed.
Osborne, as every one in the city
knows. is fat and habby and not al
all the man to be afraid Of in a fsd
cuff.
WaddeIl is following the races a
Monmouth park at present and canno
b, found at any OF his accustomed
baunts In New York.
Desnite his drubbing Howell Osborne
appeared In Wall street Monday. Whe1
he srolled from the Office Of Broke
Frank Savin he wore dark cClored rog
giles which proved an effective cis
giiise. When in his brokers' office h
substituted an ordinary pair Of glasse
and then it was possible to observe th
outward signs OF the assault
Mr.. Osborne had two very black eyes
and his face was bruised IN places
He complained that his wrists wer
