Attack Made Upon an
Old Man.
SALOON|ST is BEATEN
And Badly Injured by a Crowd
of Five Young Men--War-
rants Have Been
Issued.

The police are looking for a crowd
of five young men who made brutal
assault Wednesday evening up Edward
Engleman, saloon keeper, at his place
of business ON South Court street
across from the market house.
A warrant has already been issued for
one of the assailants, William A. Spang
Ter, whom Engleman claims he recog-
nized. He also thinks he knows who
the other men were and is sure that
he can identify them ON sight even II
he does not know their names and
the police think they will have no
trouble in locating the other members
of the crowd Engleman says that
Spangler is the man who hit him first.
The assault was a most unprovoked
one and would likely have
RESULTED MORE SERIOUSLY
had it not been for the opportune
entrance of Fire Captain Baxter.
When the fellows saw him coming they
ran. He did not know of the trouble
and they ran past him and got away
before he knew that they had assault
ed the old gentleman.
The same fellows, with another man,
were in the saloon Saturday night and
were playing a machine in the place.
After they had left it was discovered
that holes had been bored in the ma
chine and that it had been so manip-
ulated that it was almost emptied The

nesday night they came and two of the
men engaged the attention of Engle-
man while the rest played the machine.
He watched them for awhile and final
ly went around and started to remon-
strate. Before he had said two words
one of the fellows, who Engleman says
was Spangler, struck him blow in the
face, knocking him down. He had his
specatcles on at the time an
THE SEVEREST CUT
he received was made by them. One
or two of the others also took hand
in the assault, it is said. One or two
men were in the front of the room but
did not see what was going ON until
it was too late to interfere and were
just starting back when Capt. Baxter
entered and the men brushed past him
and got away. The gentlemen who
were in front of the place think that
they know who the men were and will
aid the police.
Besides the cut under his eye made
by the spectacles Mr.. Engleman has
a number of bruises and other cuts
about the face.

Lands in the West.

Fort Sill, o. T., July 23.-Disorder
and distress will, it is feared, follow
the actual opening of the Kiowa-Co-

mated that fully 10000 people will
have registered for a chance to secure
one of the $4,000 claims to be awarded
by lottery when the registration booths
close July &c. Thousands of persons on
the reservation who are neither me-
chanics nor artisans, and who have lit

tention of locating around Lawton if
they fail to win a claim. Campers
who came in ''pararie scnooners" by the
thousand generally brought with them
provisions sufficient to last five or ten
days. Continued drouth has caused the
water to be restricted and for days a
hot wind has blown over the prairies
and the temperature has averaged over
the 100 mark. With these conditions
before them many are already begin

Patrick can be induce to accept NOM

boilers, as has been suggested by George
Groot, Abner Davis and other promi-
ment Bryan Democrats. General Sher-
wood and Mr.. Patrick" said Mr., How
ellis to a Massillon reporter, Monday,
"are too thorough Democrats to ac-
cept nomination for any Office from

Democrats-every conscientious Demo-
crat-ought to and will stand by the

1T may be inferred then, Mr.. How
ells," suggested the reporter, that you
do not consider the gentlemen styling
themselves Bryan Democrats to be con-
scientious Democrats
II don't say they are not conscien-
tious, for they are people am not ac-
quainted with. But don't believe in

OF course, he expects both the state

Accident insura nee On His In

tor Kennedy Of Akron.

Akron. July 23.--Samuel A. Kennedy,
the editor of the Amusement Record,
who was trounced by the Koh!er
brothers and b. G.. Work, is having
more troubles of his own.
Kennedy had policy from q certain
insurance company at the time of the
assault upon him, and he sought to
collect insurance for the injury done
him. The policy provided for the pay.
ment of insurance for all accidents and
for injury from "unprovoked assault"
The company was about to pay ais
claim on the strength of this clause
when the evidence brought out in the
trial made the agents change their
minds.
They have decided that It was a
case of provoked assault and have
so notified the policy holder. He is
still seeking to collect by negotiation
but 1t is very probable that he will
bring suit to collect the amount al
legged to be due him.
