Madison, Sept. !

A cutting ARRAY occurred at the
Orchard farm on the Sun Prairie road
about IL: As O'Clock Monday forenoon
that may result in the death of Carl
Haymaker of Racine. Haymaker, in
company with a fellow laborer, Her
man Geschke, whose mother lives at
WatertOwn, were engaged in cutting
tobacco together when a dispute arose
between them. A miX-up followed
which resulted in Haymaker getting
a long, deep cut with jack-knife
from the back bone under the left
arm around to the neighborhood of
heart, a slash across the abdomen and
one across the left leg Two men.
working a few rods away, went to
Haymakers assistance and with their
aid he walked to the barn, when loss
OF blood weakened him aad he was
obliged to be carried to the house.
Word was at once sent 10 Madison
and Undersheriff Burmeister and
Turnkey William Himfel and DR. C.
H. Hall went to the scene. The
physician found Haymaker in pre-
carious condition and has fears as to
his recovery. The wounds were sewed
up and the victim was made as com
Portable as possible. The officers
found that Geschke had taken his
dinner and gene Waconcernedly back
to work in the field again. He was
placed under arrest and at 2 o'clock
was lodged in jail. Geschke says
the cutting was entirely an accident;
that he was whiting at the time OF
the quarrel and that in the scufiie
following Haymaker attempted to
take the knife away from him and
got cut in that way.
HaymaEer was so weak from loss
of blood that he could not talk when
the officers arrived. Later he rallied
somewhat and whispered that over a
week ago Geschke threatened to do
him up" Some of the witnesses say
that Ceschke started the trouble
When Haymaker realized that he was
being cut. he broke away from his as
sailant and ran to a fence near by
over which he olaml cred and then
fell exhausted. Geschke pursued him
a short distance, but was intercepted
by the other field laborers who were
near by. Geschke shows no regret for
his act and candidly admits that II
he had not bet n interfered with he
would have killed Haymaker,
Geschke is q years old and worked
for Hungerford since early in June.
He says he came from New York city
in the spriug Hungerford considered
Him an excellent laborer.
Haymaker is % years old. lie also
was deemed a good laborer. His
most serious wound is the one around
under his arm and over his heart.
The flesh here was laid open TO the
bone for about inches. The wound
on the leg is about 4 inches long and
fully an inch and half in depth. II
the knife had gone a fraction o. an
inch farther 1t would have severed
the main artery of the leg and Hay
maker would doubtless have bled TO
death As It was, he lost an immense
quantity of Hood.
The Orchard farm is about miles
from Madison and is the property OF
John w. Hudson and f. NJ. Fuller
and Is occupied by Mr., Hunserford.
