the Freedmens Hospital, but it is believed
by the physicians in attendance that he

to be doing very we'll
The difficulty occurred at the corner of
Ith and Marshal streets northwest, and is
alleged to have been caused by Williams
pushing himself in rough manner against
Voulke and a companion named Oscar Pur-
ner. who We're walking along 7th street.
The latter resented the actions and pushed
the assailant into the street. Voulke then
caught ho-d of Williams, who quickly pull
ed knife from his pocket and plunged it
into the lower part of Voulkes stomach
Realizing what he had done, Williams ran
Off. Vouike was helped into a wagon, as
ne was SuHering greatly from loss of blood.
The matter was quickly reported to Lieut..
Kenny of the eighth precinct station, who,
after giving the proper warning to the other
stations, went with Acting Sergeant Nc

hcenan Jett, with Oscar Purner, went to
MT Tenley's and secreted themselves
Ihey had been there but short time when
Williams came in. The officer took him
into custody and sent him to the eighth
precinct station. When informed by the
officer that he was under arrest Williams
was disposed to act in an ugly manner but
the sight of Officer Jett's weapon brought
him to terms.
Williams does not deny cutting voulke,
but claims that Vouke was the aggressor
The prisoner was under arrest some time

TAKES HIS REVENGE
Jupiter Pluvius Gives the Ground Hog q
Lively Experience.
Drenches Him, Blows n Hurricane

Jupiter Pluvius got even with the ground
hog yesterday in a manner which made
that weather-wise animal wish he had

1t will be remembered. emerged from moth
er earth February 2, 1892 at noon. and.
seeing his shadow cast by the sun upon the

went back into his home again for a six
weeks nap. Every one knows what fol-
lowed. Coal went up to SIS ton, eggs
were 15 cents dozen and other necessi
ties advanced In like proportions. This
was all due to the ground hogs weather.
j. Pluvius evidently thought his preroga-
tives had been assailed At any rate, he
just laid for that ground hog, and when
the latter came out of his hole at the ter
mination of his six weeks comfortable
snooze, and indulged in a few wild antics
ant!cipatory of the springtime, gentle An
ME, the real weather god marShaled his
hosts and went for MIR. 6. Hog. He drench-
ed him to the hide Saturday, and after
keeping up the bath during the morning
sent a cold wind blowing forty-siX miles
hour through his whiskerS in the after
noon and evening The unfortunate animal
was a!so pelted with hail in copious guam
titles, and altogether he had about the most
uncomfortable Sunday i'll his experience.

A different view. of course, is taken of

the high wind yesterday that beribboned
