BATTLE
ON A STREET CAR
Drunken Man Assaults Deputy
With a Knife.
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
THREE MEN ATTEMPT TO SLUG
OFFICER NAYLOR.

The last car from Calder's park last
night was the scene of d desperate fight,
in which Park Deputy NaylOr had mar
row ESCAPE from being carved at the
hands of an infuriated drunk, who as
saulted him with big pocket knife. The
drunken man was almost upon the Of
ficer and would undoubtedly have
stabbed him had not several men inter
fered and wrested the weapon from him.
The assailant made. his escape, but two
of his companions, Hans Hansen and
Carl Erickson. who also fought the Of
ficer, were captured and landed in the
county jail.
The trouble occurred just before the
car reached Twelfth South and was pre-
cipitated by Hansen. who is alleged TO
have insulted the wife of L. ". Dittman.
Hansen was drunk and it is said made
some insulting remark to Mrs. Dittman
which YVES overheard by her husband
Mr.. Dittman seized Hansen by the throat
and was choking him black in the face,
when Officer NaylOr attempted to arrest
Hansen At this juncture Erickson
rushed in and there was desperate eff
fort to pound the officer into a jelly. The
third man then, it is alleged. drew an
open pocket knife from his clothes and
made rush ae NaylOr. The latter, being
engaged with his prisoner. was unable TO
protect himself against the assault and
would undoubtedly have received the
blade of the knife in his chest had not
five or six men rushed in and seized the
assailant. A desperate struggle ensued,
in which the whole party went off the
car, which had been stopped, but the
men succeeded in securing the knife
In the scrimmage the owner of the
knife made his escape After a fierce
struggle, Hansen and Erickson We're sub
dued and when it was found that the
third man had escaped they were taken
to the county jail During the fight some
gore was spilled as a result of blows, but
no one was seriously hurt. NaylOr for
tunately escaped without d scratch.
Hansen when seen in the Jail, denied
that he had made any insulting remark.
and both men denied having seen any
knife They declared that they did not
know the third man in the affair, but
the officers believe that they were all
together.
