taurant three persons were found in
there, Madge Mason, Eva Hall, some
times called johnson. and Will Harvey.
The last two were bleeding profuse-
ly. The man was cut badly on the
left side of the head, the opening be-
ing about two and a half inches long,
and once in the right hand, nearly
severing the thumb. This last wound
was made while Harvey was trying to
hold the knife.
The woman, Eva Hall, was cut on
the head near the crown, in the back
of the neck, in the palm of her left
hand, and near her left ear.
Everything about the little room was

was leaning across q chair and Harvey
was sitting on the table with the blood
so covering his face that he was hard
ly recognizable.
Policeman Taylor asked the woman,
Mxdge Mason, who had stood by and
seen the whole fight, what was the
matter and she said:
"Well, Eva wanted to come up town
this afternoon and she wanted me to
come with her. / didn't want to at
first, but finally told her would. She
said that she wanted to see her sweet
heart Billy Harvey and get some
money that he owed Miss May Palmer.
We went up town but couldn't find
Billy at first; then we went to the
Wigwam and met Billy Adams and
Eva told me sto stay there and she
would go out and find Harvey.
"She went off and / waited there for
her and pretty soon she returned with
Harvey and he asked US to go to sup
per with him. 1 thought he meant all
| of US, the two boys too, for another
| fellow had come in, but it seems that
he didn't mean US all. ~ Il
"Billy had been drinking and we
had all had some drinks and were jolly.
The dinner was ordered and it was q
nice one and we had good time laugh
| ing and talking. When we finished,
Eva asked for the bill, and the China
man brought it. Billy Adams reached
down in his pocket to help pay for it,
and Eva said, NO you don't either;
Harvey asked US all in here to dinner,
and he is going to pay for It,. Some
thing else was said about it, but Eva
said, IF he don't like it he can Just
take his hat aud walk out AS
Harvey is of such Jealous nature,
this made him angry and he picked
up his hat and started to go out
| "Evs, who have carved the chicken,
jerked up the butcher knife, and then
it was that the two boys, Billy Adams
and the other, made break for the
door, but 1 staid with them Harvey
tried to get past and in doing so Eva
raked him one across the head, and he
caught the knife, but took it away
from her and then he looked at me
with such a look and snatched the
knife and went at her with it. He cut
her on the head, then on the back of
the neck, and it was this stab that
made her scream So"
At this point the man who had been
| sent to get doctor returned with Doc
tor Horsley and the wounds of the two
| were tied up to stop the flow of blood.
A carriage was called aud the two were
taken to the DOCTORS office, where he
could more conveniently dress their
wounds.
