Man - Iin Quinn Given the Extent
Of shs Law far Orunksnness-Cha
Davis Sent Away.
William Musser was the victim of a
second attack last night at the hand of
a mem Der of the Sehell family. This
tine the attack was particularly cow
ardly and Is regarded as 8 most con
temptiole trick on the pert of his as
saIlant.
| MUsser was sitting IN front of See
fioth's clgar store on north 4 street
last night about 6:3O o'clock, and was
talking n 8 peaceable and quiet man
| ner, as is his wont when undisturbed,
when youns~ George Sehell, the nine
teen year-o.d son OF Henry Schell,
| who had eef Musser into ribbons a
| few weeks ago, slipped mp when MUIR
ser was uuprepared for the attack and
not expecting, and struck him violently
| on the head, bGrstlng open the stitches
that had been put IN to sew up the
wounds the assailant's father had made
+ with some sharp weapon a few weeks
ago. Musser vas struck several times
before he realized that he was attack
ed, and then ne jumped up and clineh-
ed with his eowardly enemy. After q
brief tussle some one yelled:
Look out He's got razor,n
Musser thep cut loose and Jumped
inside the cigar store, while the man
who had alta .ked him stood out on the
curb and made threats. The bystand-
ers allege that he remarked that Mus
ser would not collect any of that dam
age for which he had sued Schell's
father, and that he would see that he
didn't live to do so.f- This is the talk
of bystanders and is not yet vouched
for in evidence. Schell was arrested
abo IT O'Clock, by Voe lesong, at the
residence of Seaell's grandfather, thir-
teenth and Main streets. He was
placed under bonds of 81 900 for his
appearance on charge of assault. 1t
is not known what he used to hit Mus
ser.
Some weeks ago, it will be remem-
bered, Musser was carved out of all
semblance to humanity by Henry
Sehsll, the father of the young man
making the assault last night, and all
sorts of wild -rumors were on the
streets last evening and this
morning as to the extent of the in-
juries in this second attack. 1t was
even told that the young man had
slipped up and lit Musser In the back
of the head with an ak. Schell got off
easy with light fine for his attack,
and Musser brought suit for damages
against him for the injuries inf cted.
This renewed the bad feeling of the
Schells. it appears, and the attack last
night was of nature that would indi-
cate a tendency to do something vio-
lent. The damages claimed by Musser
is III the amount of 50 500, and it is
believed that the assault last night and
the sons alleged reference to the dam
sge suit will not help the Schells any in
their defense of the claim for damages
Iasss, sssaasd lle- nigA without seri
man who attacked him is a big young
giart for his age, and very strong.
