the Riverside Hotel at Eastport, Mon
day afternoon. where a stranger, giving
his name as Mcdonald had been taken
a short time before with a cut in his
| scalp. Several stitches had to be taken
in the wound which had been made by
a sharp rock, or perhaps a knife. The
man stated that he had been standing
on the wharf below the hotel talking
to a stranger he had met during the af-
ternoOn, and in the argument was
struck on the head a very severe blow.
He did not realize that he had been cut
at the time, but knocked his assailanf
over the wharf some Is feet below. The
latter had disappeared some time later
and it was not known how much he
had been injured. although City Mar
| shall Fahey is investigating the affair.
