GRIPPED his VICTIM LIKE A
BULLDOG.

While intoxicated last night John
Smith brutally assaulted Horace
Gross, an aged hostler employed by
DR.. J. w. Albright, OF Muncy. After
beating him into insensibllity, Smith
clntched his victim by the throat.
Mrs. Albright, who witnessed the as
sault, secured a carriage whip and
lashed Smith severely in an effort to
make him loosen his hold. She fail
ed, and cried for help. Several men
responded and attempted to subdue
Smith by hitting and kicking him.
During the struggle DR.. Albright
appeared. Realizing that his hostlerS
life was in peril, he grasped neck
yoke and struck Smith stunning
blow. The fellow was dazed, and let
60 his hold. During the excitement
Smith made his escape. A warrant is
now out for his arrest, but the con-
stable of the town is afraid to serve
the document. Smith has the reputa-
ton of being bad man, and has
frequently figured as defendant In
the criminal courts. Gross may not
recover"
The above appeared in Tuesdays
Philadelphia Times. Gross is well
known in town, and left here some
time ago to work for DR.. Albright.
