BADLY STABBED.
Albert Southwick, of Madison Lake,
Stabbed Last Night in
Campers Tent.

A very serious stabbing affray oc-
Cured at LakeMadison Sunday night.
Only meagre particulars have been re-
ceived, and just what started the af-
fair is not distinctly apparent.
1t appears that S. j. Schaus
and another man, said to be
of large proportions, but whose
name is unknown at present,
are camping at Lake Madison not far
from the village. About eleven
o'clock last night Albert Southwick
and some other parties visited this
camp. What business they had there
is not clear, and what took place we
have not heard. The controversy
ended in the severe stabbing of Albert
Southwick by the large unknown
man, and the narrow escape OF
another Madison Lake young
man. The stabbing was done with a
pocket knife, and Southwick received
a terrible cash across his left breast.
The keen blade of the knife cut his
coat open for distance OF twenty
inches up and down, cut the vest and
shirt, and laid open the flesh for six
inches, directly over the heart. The
wound is dangerous one. The con-
dition of the mans clothing indicates
that he received several cuts.
DR.. Wells, of Madison Lake, was
summoned and dressed the wound,
taking six stitches. He believes that
the man will recover. Southwicks
clothing was saturated with blood.
1t is said that a man named Mcclure
escaped by going through a couple OF
barbed wire fences.
The justice, Julius Reinsburg, was
in this city today, and as result, one
or more warrants may be issued.

cused of such charge and useless to defend
ourselves against the false accusations.
Capt. Mc(iowan opposed Mr.. Parker's ar
