wounded near Lamont Saturday evening
by young man named Alfred Shack

drove up in buggy and asked the GIRL
to come out to the buggy. Martin took

to go, when Shack jumped out and
came in the yard and attacked Martin
with knife, striking him twice. The
first blow was at his face. the blade
going through his nat rim and making
a slight wound under eve and the
second struck him about a half inch be-

made no effort TO escape and was still
in the vicinity Sunday evening, but no
