El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-11-05

two men were seen to run out OF the
little room, and out the back way.
Then there was good deal more
scuffling and some woman cried out
stop that, Harvey, stop that; Eva,
why don't you stop?" One OF the
Chinese walters went to get police
man, and succeeded tin getting Officer
Taylor. who was closely followed by q
reporter of the HERALD.
On arriving at the door OF the little
room on the right side of the res
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
of the neck, in the palm of her left
hand, and near her left ear.
Everything about the little room was
soaked with blood.
Both OF the combatants were very
weak from the loss of blood the woman
was leaning across chair and Harvey
was sitting on the table with the blood
ly recognizable.
Policeman Taylor asked the woman,
Madge 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. L didn't want to at
first, but finally told her would. She
said that she wanted to see her sweet
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 of and / waited there for
her aud pretty soon she returned with
Harvey and he asked us to go to sup
per with him. / thought he meant all
OF US, the two boys too, for another
fellow had come in, but IL seems that
he didn't mean US all.
'Billy had been drinking and we
had all had some drinks and were jolly.
The dinner was ordered and IL was q
nice one and we had a good time laugh
ing and talking. When we finished,
Eva asked for the bill, and the China
down in his pocket to help pay for it,
aud 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 1t, but Eva
said, IF he don't like it he can just
take his hat and walk out AS
Harvey is of such a jealous nature,
This made him angry and he picked
up his hat anu started to go out
EVA, who have carved the chicken,
jerked up the butcher knife, and then
1t was that the two boys, Billy Adams
and the other, made q break for the
door, but l 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
knife and went at her with it. He cut
her on the head, then on the back of
che neck, and 1t 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.
On arriving at the DOCTORS office,
three nurses from Hotel Dieu were
there and the two wounded were help
ed up to the room and the woman
placed on the table and the man in a
chair. The nurses went to work
cutting the hair away from the bleed
ing scalp wounds and as soon as it was
done. the doctor got out his needle and
thread aud sewed up all the wounds.
Harvey bore his pain with smile
on his face all the time, and would
keep asking how Eva was, IL she was
dan vigorously hurt. The best of feeling
seemed to lexist between the two: they
would talk to each other and when
something was said about taking them
to the hospital she said that she would
not go as she couldn't see her friends.
Harvey will rent room down town for
me and hire nurse too" she said.
He agreed to 1t and begged them not
to take her to the hospital. At this
point he came very near faiuting and
had to lie down on the floor. 1t was
feared that he might die, because he
Is a consumptive and the amount of
blood he lost was enough to kill a we'll
man. His pulse went down consider
able. His feet and legs were propped
IN the air and his head and hands
were held up to keep ali the blood in
his body possible.
AS soon as a carriage was summoned,
the two wounded with two the
nurses were driven up to Hotel Dieu.
