A Eruial AssaaIt.

About 5 o'clock Sunday evening
Bert Mcintosh and DR.: T.. E. Wilson
the dentist, went to the office of the
Gold Creek Mining Company to have
a conversation with W. A. Coke, the
company's stenographer. After
few minutes talk a dispute arose and
Bert crossed the street to get third
party to settle it. During Bert's alb
sence Wilson assaulted Co1e and when
Bert returned Wilson had CoSe on the
floor beating him. Eert found the
door Locked and broke a pane Of glass
and thrust his hand through and
went in and pulled wilson off. Ca1
shows the effects of the severe, brutal
beating he received and is co cfined
to his bed today under the care of
DR.. Hood.
While there is no dispute as to the
cause leading up to the assault, there
is as to the assault itself. Here the
stories OF the principals conflict in
every essential particular. As the
affair will probably be investigated
in court we reireln from publishing
the statements made by the parties
as we do not wish to prejudice pub lie
opinion. 1t viii be time enough to
publish the fucts when they are
stated under oath by the parties.
The fact Of the door being locked
on Bert's return is explained by the
lock being spring lock and locking
when Bert pulled The door to on go.

MIGHT BE KNOCK-KNEED.
ohio Girl Refused to Exhibit and Lost
Her LaWauit.


Her Lawsuit.
Had Miss Marie Prevoncha, of San
dusky, O., been one of the ladies of the
ballet instead of a professional nurse
she might now be $4,000 the richer,
says the Chicago Chronicle. While on
her way home one evening she stumbled
over a piece of defective sidewalk, fell
and sustained severe injury to one of
her legs above and below the knee. Sub
sequently she brought suit against the
city, claiming $4,000 damages on ac-
count of her injuries. When Miss Pre-
voncha was placed on the stand the
counsel for the city raised point as to
the character of the injury, and insisted
that in order that the jury could better
judge of the facts Miss Prevoncha
should exhibit her injured limb to the
jury.
"Never," she fairly Kissed, as she
pointed her finger at the cityprosecutor.
1.-THE demand is monstrous" The
| prosecutor insisted and quoted authori-
| ties, and there was a long argument.
The judge finally decided that it would
be indicate to enforce the demand and
the case went to the jury, which re-
turned verdict for the city. 1t is be-
lieved that had the fair plaintiff made
the exhibit suggested she would have
secured damages. AS she expressed
it, however: 81 am not a ballet girl.
but a professional nurse, and prefer to
lose the case rather than make such an
exposure"
