Unfortunate Affray,

As the result of boys quarrel
early yesterday morning in front of
L. T. Phillips store on the West side,
Abraham Anderson, IA years old, is
at St. Gabriel's hospital suffering
from a knife wound in the right breast.
and Otie Dargis. but II years old, is
under arrest. 1t is impossible to tell
as yet how serious the wound may
be, but Dr. Roberts believes a rib
was struck and an artery severed,
which would not be dangerous. The
cause OF the trouble is hard to To-
cate. 1t is said that the wounded
boy threw stones at young Dargis,
and that another boy handed the
pocket knife toIDargis. This is denied,
however. Anderson is the son of
John Anderson, the West side black
smith. The affair is a sad one, and
for the good of all, it is to be hoped
that the incident will not have a seri..
