SERIOUSLY SLABS TOM FULTON.
f. l.. whitney Assaults the Beatrice
Reporter with ~ Knife. -


Reporter with n Knife. ~
BEATRICE, Neb., July 21.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Tom B. Fulton, eX-city editor of the
Daily Times, who was arrested one night
last week while in the apartments of Mrs.
#. L.. Whitney, was seriously stabbed at
7 o'clock this evening by Whitney.
Today a reconciliation was brought about
between Fulton and his wifes father, and
Fulton published a card in the local dailies
stating that he had done wrong, but that
his wife and her father had forgiven him
and asking the public to give him a chance
to regain his good name in the community.
1t appears that the Whitneys looked upon the
card as a reflection upon them and securing
bicycles rode up to the home of Mr.. Oden
Buttons father-in-law) and called Fulton
out to the street. Asking him If he was the
author of the card and receiving an af-
frmative answer, they farther asked him
If he did not think he had done them an
injustice. He stated that he did not think
| he had, whereupon Mrs. Whitney called him
! a liar and Whitney struck at him with his
left hand, and at the same time drew a
knife with his right hand, striking at Full
ton three times, the last stroke hitting him
in the left nipple and cutting a cash down
ward about three inches, the ribs prevent
ing the knife striking the heart.
Whitney and wife came down town after
! the episode and had an interview with their
attorney, General Colby. Whitney then left
the city on a rented wheel. 1t is re-
ported that he was last seen three miles
south, going in the direction of Wymore.
| Officers started in pursuit, but up to a late
hour nothing has been heard from the fugi-
tive.
Reporters called at Mrs. Whitney's rooms
about 10 o'clock and asked her for a state
ment of the affair, but she refused to make
any, stating that her attorney had in
structed her not to talk to any one about
the matter. She said that Whitney had
left the city, but she did not know where
he expected to go. During the conversa-
ton an attorney, who was in an adjoining
room, called to her and warned her not tc
discuss the case.
