About s O'Clock last evening officer Nc
ill OF the Second Station put an end TO
q drunken orgiel that had been going on
for several hours at 1863 Vest River street.
Some person notified the officer that a
man had been very severely cut ON the
head at the place named. The officer
started TO investigate the affair and found
that John Clark, a man nearly 90 years
OF age, had been hit over the head with
a stone cover litter and that the wound
was bleeding very much.
Clark accused a young man, named
GsruEer, OF having struck him., because
he, Clark, tried to separate Gardner ana
another person, known as Packey Han
ley, who were fighting. All the parties,
and there was quite a gathering there,
were friencs OF Clark, and considerable
liquor had been drunk during the early
part Of the evening. On the other hand,
Gardner claims that CLARK was having a
row with another party AID in this way
received his injuries. A young man who
went 10 the house with Gardner substan-
tiated this statement.
Both men were taken 10 the station
aud Clark's wounds were temporarily
dressed by one of the officers, and later
on, the injured man was taken TO DIR.
Marston's office. The doctor found the
cnt a deep one and that an artery had
been severed. No serious results are
however, expected.
