Saturday evening. Mr.. Smith and his
wife had been to Wheeling and returned
by way Of the electric railway. When
they got on the Benwood ferrybont
Campbell was there quito drunk, and
after Mr.. Smith and his wife had en-
tered the ladies' cabin Campbell began
a TRADE Of abuse against Smith. A
gentlemrp who was wUll acquainted
with all the parties kept his eve on
Campbell, and as he approached the
couple as they were leaving the boat,
told him if he assaulted Smith while his
wife was with him he would give him a
trouncing. Campbell then turned up
the railroad and going up an alley, lay
in wait for Smith Mt the corner OF Bel
mont and Thirty-lfth streets. Just as
they reached that corner, Campbell
struck Smith full in the face, telling
him to tho pavement, and then con.
tinued his assault, cutting and bruising
the lawyer considerably. Mr.. List, who
keeps q store nearby, rushed out and
took the crazod assaiIant off and made
him desist, while Mr.. Smith was MS.
sisted to his homo by other friends.
He is not dangerously hurt. Campbell
afterwards made an assault on Mr.. List,
who took him off Smith, but List
punished him beautifully. No arrest
has been made, the officers stating that
they are waiting for u complaint to be
filed, and there is a good deal of com.
ment about this feature Of the affair.

made.
