STABBED BY TRAMP.
william Nicola, Central brakeman.
Encounters BurIy Negro.

William Nicola, an Iowa Central
brakeman residing in this city, was
badly used up by a negro tramp while
on his a Friday and it is little
less than wonderful that he was not
murdered by the fellow. He was
stabbed in several places by the
negro who did his best to stick a
stiletto into vital parts
Nicola is on the regular runs of
trains No, 80 and 81 from.and to this
city. Friday afternoon when the
train was on q steep grade of the
Iowa Central between Searsboro and
g. & M. Junction, following the usual
custom, the brakeman left the train
as it was ascending the worst of the
grade to watch its passingi and thus
provide against mishaps!in the shape
Of q break-in-two which is of frequent
occurrence at this place. He was
looking along under thelmoving cars
when a great, burly, rawiboned, six
foot negro, who had beenI riding on
the trucks, alighted and approached
Nicola in a threatening manDer say
ing Nicola was the man I%ho had
abused and struck him Hast week.
Nicola thought the man .bluffing and
paid no attention at Arst but went
about his business OF observing the
progress Of the train. The negro
however, made/a rush at him and
struck at him with a small stiletto,
aiming ting blow low probably to
enter the side. Nicola is pretty well
school9d in the art of self! defense
and he adroitly ducked and,guarded
heIblow but received the blade of
the weapon near the right elbow.
The negro was a powerful mar but
Nicola was no mean antagonist.
There ensued a terrific fight while
the train was passing. Nicola Crap
pied with the fellow and proved the
better man and well scienced. Four
times he forced the negro against
the bank and down but he was not
heavy enough to hold him. The
round was fast and furious and no
call of time" gave tho brakeman
wind and the weight of the negro,
was fast giving him the advantage.
Conductor Chas. BargdelI, of this
city, was a witness to the latter part
OF the fight as the end of the train
drew near the combatants and as
soon as possible he stopped the train
and went to the assistance of his
brakeman and the negro made for
the woods at the side of the track
and escaped. Nicola was exhausted
and would have been killed by the
tramp had not the timely assistance
arrived, for his strength was gone
and he could not further combat the
weight and strength of his assailant.
fell and was picked up and taken
to Marshalltown where the wounds
were dressed. He came to this city
in the evening. The negro made
many attempts to find a vital resting

London, Aug. 1O.-A parliamentary
paper has been issued containing the
proclamation issued by Lord Kitch-
ener August 7, in accordance with
instructions from the imperial gov
eminent, the governments of Cape
