Badly Assaulted

San Francisco, April ll.-Thomas
Garrett Of the Evening Post of this
city was assaulted about 8 O'Clock yes
terday morning on Post street, near
Grant avenue, by an unknown man. Up
to late hour last night the identity
of the man who made the assault had
not been established.
Garrett was on his way from the
Hotel Savoy, where he resides. to his
Office, and had reached a point ON Post

when Weli-dressed man stepped up to
him and dealt him heavy blow in the
lace. saying at the same time: q

violence was attempted. Another man.
evidently friend OF the assailant
stood by, and when Hanstead interpos-

through the Turkish bath establish
ment. From there it is not known
what course they took.
Hanstead helped the battered man
into neighboring barber SHOP and
summoned a physician. Dr. O'Brlen
gave temporary relief to the sufferer,
and later he was removed TO his hotel
and put to bed, He had received cut
on the mouth which split both lips and
severe Commissions and bruises on the
lace and head. His injuries are not at
all serious, and he will be able TO re-
sumo business in day or two.
Garrett claims to know no motIve
Tor the assault and says he cannot ex-
plain the remark of the assailant when
the first blow was delivered.
Garrett for a reason not explained
requested that the man who saved him
from further injury should be detained
until he could swear to compIaint
against him, and Seymour agreed to do
this.

remarkably reticent, has serious

appears to be very strong belief in
