The BoIdness of These
Nightly Events is 8ecom-
ing Notorious.
SERIOUS INJURY
Resulted to This Victim From ,
The MurderOus Blows
Of the Brass
Knucks.

l.. T. Hilbun. a carpenter residing at
7011 North Ochoa street, was assault
ed and beaten into insensibility while
last night.
II was between 10 and IL O'Clock, he
had no occasion to notice the exact
time, he was just entering the G. H.
yards after leaving the plaza when two
men accosted him. They were white
men and that was all he noticed. One
of them said something to him and
followed the remark with blow
quickly that Mr.. Hilburn failed to un-
derstand what he said. This blow he
partly warded OFF. but it landed glanc-
ingly under the left eye. Quick as
flash the second blow came and
knocked all knowledge of earthly af-
fairs out of Mr.. Hilbun. This blow
landed beneath the right eye and made
an ugly wound from which the blood
gushed freely and saturated his cloth
ing from head to foot.
There was nothing in the assailant's
hand that Mr.. Hilbun could see but
the wound beneath the right eye bears
good evidence of knucks. the sort that
has a big square piece on the outside
to which is attached a sharp edge run
ming along the center. There is the
bruise, n rectangular shape, surround
ing a two-inch CHASTITY cut.
Mr.. Hilbun does not know how long
he laid where he fell when the last
blow struck. but he has a vague idea
OF walking as in trance and when he
covered his senses sufficiently to grasp
the situation he was sitting. with his
back against the fence up near the G.
H. purifying tanks. He was chilled to
the marrow and stiff and sore. He
hurried home and his bloody appear
ance and chattering teeth gave his
wife a terrible fright. The clock told
him that he had been wandering about
or lying on the ground about three
hours since the assault was made upon
him. :
This morning he was attacked by a
severe pain in the. back and sent for
DR.. Bush, who stated that the shock
and exposure of the night before had
resulted in congestion of the kidneys
and that he was in pretty serious
condition. He is resting easier this
afternoon however. and anticipates no
great danger from that source
Why Mr.. Hilbun was assaulted is a
puzzle to him and all his friends He
says he has not an enemy on earth that
he knows of. He has lived here only
two months. having come here from
foakum. and he says he is sure that
he has made no enemy since coming
here and he left none at Yoakum to
follow him up. He had a watch and a
purse, containing about $40. on his
person when attacked and if the mo-
tive was robbery the aSSailants be
came frightened and left without get
ting the object of their assault. He
thinks it probable that he was mis-
taken for somebody else whom the
men We're laying for
That there were desperate men in
that neiShborhood by a man stopping
that neighborhood Is atteSted by a man
stopping at the New Commercial ho-
tel. who says he was accosted before
good dar kby a hobo who asked for
some money. He offered the man a
dime and he refused it with a curse
This happened near the place where
later

The above letter was shown by a
Herald reporter to Pat Dwyer. who
was asked for his side of the story.
He willingly consented and said:
Until last night we never had any
trouble with Mr.. Vidal. But yester-
day we heard that he had been MAX
ing all kinds of remarks and talking
about us shamefully. and we decided

Jim Dwyer walked into the house
and called Mr.. Vidal out. Jim did ask
him TO cross the street so they could
settle the matter and Mr. Vidal re-
fused to go any further-
Jim then asked him in gentle
manly way why he was talking about
the Dwyer boys. Vidal seeing that Of
ticers Mitchell and Deniston were
about to come up. spoke up and said
with curse, Who ever said so lied -
At this time Jim struck him in the
face. | was standing in front and a
little TO the left of Vidal when Jim
struck him. Officer Deniston then
jumped between them. Just then Lou
Vidal pulled his siX-shooter. and as
he was on a higher step. and fearing
that either Jim or Deniston would be
killed. ! jerked my pistol and threw it
into Nidal's chest and he quit the game
| told him that l did not want to hurt
him but that he was not going to hurt
any of us.
Il the ntook Jim away and Mr.. Vidal
also left. Sam Dwyer was standing
about ten feet away in front and not
behind Vidal. and with two policemen.
We did not go to his place with the
intention of killing him but to make
him retract what he had said. and if
the officers had not been there we
would have made him do it. as we ha I

THE BOND
ELECTION
The Issue Will Almost Ger
family Garry By Good
Majority.
THE VOTE is LIGHT
But the Opposition Is Not Ap.
pearing In Such Large
Number As Anti
cipated.

The school bond election, which has
been in progress ever since early morn
ing, will undoubtedly result in favor of
the bonds. although the total vote cast
is not heavy.
Those favoring the issuance of the
bonds have been working hard in
their favor. but the opponents have not
Goen heard from. There is certainly
.ome opposition. but il is not very pro-
nounced. Those who oppose them pre-
fer waterworks to school bonds. or
are fearful lest the bonded indebted
ness of the city he raised to the limit
and other needed improvements post
poned until such time as the tax valu-
alton of city property increases con-
siderably. Others say that the issuance
of SO. 900 worth OF bonds would mean
two more years of Magoffin. Just how
they figure this out is not known. un-
less they mean the money will be spent
in carrying the next city election.
During the day the various wards
have not presented the same appear
ance of activity and suppressed excite
ment common on election days but
extreme quietude has reigned in all the
voting precincts.
First Ward.
In the first ward very few votes are
being polled.
No reason is known except that the
people are paying no attention to it.
~
been cast. however. the judges expect
ed at least that many more.
Second Ward
In the second ward the judges are
w. S. Barnum and John II. Harper.
while VI. Callahan and VIM. Gilmore
are the tellers. At > clock there had
been seventy-seven votes cast and it
was estimated that there were two for
the bonds to one against.
Third Ward.
The bonds will go through in the
silk stocking ward by vote of at
least four tn one. although in this
ward the opposition was not incon-
siderable.
bS CLOCK lUo votes had been east
and the counting had commenced OF
twenty votes counted fifteen were for
the bonds and five against them. Su-
perintendent Putnam was at the poll
ing place lobbying for the bonds and
President Morehead had visited there
during the morning. The officers on
duty We're J. p. O'Connor presiding
judge; J. ID. McKie. judge. and Messrs.
Walthall and Tomb. clerks.
Fourth Ward.
The fourth had counted forty-eight
votes at , O'Clock and very near that
many more are expected before the
polls close. 1t is thought that the
score stands about three TO one for the
bonds. \. solomon. Chas. Stevens and
j. I'll. Smith are the judges.
