A commercial traveller by the name
of Lehman was arrested as he was enter
ing the night lunch cart last night by
Officer Hall for intoXicatiou. Bystand-
ers protested vigorously. insisting that
the man was not drunk and indeed he
showed no signs of it as Hall led him to
the lookup. But Hall SAYS he ssbraced
up. as a drunken man often will in an
emergency, that few moments before
the man was walking up street with a
companion staggering badly and Hall
told them to get off the street; the COM
panon did so quietly but Lehman re-.
fused with profuse calling of names and
it was only after repeated warnings that
he was arrested. The question of fact
whether he was drunk or not might
have been interesting Il try in court,
but that ornamental rather than useful
lookup entered n plea of guilty for him.
Sometime between 1 aud 6 o'clock this
morning he smashed the bed, aud used
its bar to bend the CRATE irons in the
window from the lookup TO the cellar,
and pulling them out. got into the cellar
cleared out of the town.
Eugene Knight, who attempted
suicide a fortnight ago at Springfield
is still alive with some hope OF recov-
cry. Sunday morning his brother, Let
terCarrie- S. W. Knight, and Miss Ella
Newman went down, when the doctors
said there was no chance whatever.
But that afternoon be was operated on
and three pints OF bloody matter taken
from his lungs, where it had pushe
his heart some three or four .inche
out OF position and towards the right
side and seriously interfered with his
breathing. Monday night the de
spatches said hs had passed comfort
able night and day and each night
since the report has been similar, say
ing "a little improvement was looked
fer. The ball which penetrated the
lung and lodged in the back still re
mains there. The head physician at
the hospital who was at the house a
few minutes after the shooting. says
he didn't expect the man to live until
the hospital was reached and he don't
see what keeps him alive. If the ball
mad gone in an inch higher or lower
It would have been instant death. The
ioctor adds that he has no doubt that
knight was "clean crazy at the
time.
