the fountain of Baeohus himself there
never flowed wines of more exquisite

STABBED.

On Monday afternoon just before the
polls closed. Dr. c. L. Ezzard, of Mer-
ritt's District, passed Mr.. Thomas Al
exander, who lives south of town,
and said to him: '"You swore a
lie against me-" Mr. Alexander
started towards him to resent it, when
several persons caught hold of him.
By this time Ezzard had reached the
court house steps and turned and faced
Alexander, and again remarked, Eyes,
say you swore id lie against me. !"
No sooner said, when Mr.. Greer Alex
ander, about twenty years old, son OF
Mr.. Tom Alexander, ran up and stabbed
Ezzard just below the heart, making
cash about three inches long. Ezzard
exclaimed: HE has cut me-" Young
Alexander was Immediately taken into
custody by officers and placed in Jail.
DR.. Ezzard was at once carried to
DIR. J. d. Malone's office, where the
wound was dressed. 1t is considered
serious wound, but not likely to prove
dangerous, being stab and cut. The
difficulty is the result of the. "egg
at the tramp populist orator
here some weeks ago, in which Mr.
Tom Alexander was witness before
city council in regard to fight DR.. Ez-
zard had with Mr.. Geo. d. Phillips on
that day. Young Greer Alexander
waived preliminary trial and was re-
leased on bond of $500.
