ger and Narrowly Misses Having
His Jugular Severed

Officer Ben Robbins arrested George
Ruede in the United States saloon on
Main street yesterday afternoon on a
warrant charging him with assault to
commit murder. The complaint was
sworn to by w. Winder, who arrived a
day or two ago from Arizona, where he
was foreman in lumber camp, and is
now making his headquarters at the
United States hotel. He applied at the
receiving hospital yesterday morning to
have an ugly cash in his neck five inches
long sewed up. The wound. was deep
one and if it had extended half inch
farther the jugular vein would have
been severed.
Winder stated that he had. been as
saulted in the Our House saloon on
North Main street. His assailant, whom
he had only met an hour before, had used
knife. He ran across the fellow in
Main street resort and they had several
drinks together. His new acquaintance
proposed that they walk over to the Our
House and shake dice for the drinks.
Arrived there the man stepped away to
talk with some acquaintances, leaving
Winder alone, who ordered drink ana
paid for it, A minute later the new ac-
quaintance came back and ordered a
drink. He insisted upon Wincier paying
for it, too, which the latter refused to
do. Only few words passed between
them when the stranger drew a knife
from his pocket and began slashirg
away at Winder, who succeeded in get
ting out Of the way only after he had
come near to having his jugular severed
While he did not know his assailants
name, Winder was sure that he could
identify him by sight. When he was
able to leave the hospital, officer Rob-
bin, accompanied him. They looked
through several resorts and in the
United States saloon. George Ruede was
pointed. out as the man. He was ar
rested, and when searched at the police
station an ugly-looking clasp knife was
found in his pocket. He did not deny
having committed the assault. Both
men had, been under the influence Of

Terrible Deficiency OF Wheat Abroad-Amer-

Late advices from Washington, based on

bushels. America is relied upon to supply
the deficiency out of her grand product of
AGO, ,OOO, 900. This deficiency can, with some
aid of the rye and corn crop, be made up,
but who could supply the sick and debili-
