CUTTING sGRAPE
IN THE WEST END

4 serious stabbing affray occurred in
the west end of the city last might
about midnight IN which one Eric An
derson received two frightful wounds
that may prove his undoing. Anderson
in company with an associate, Henry
johnson, had been out turing the carly
part Of the night and both had drunk
much-too much for their good. Some
little time before ~ o'clock both men
entered the home Of a mutual acquaint-
ance to get something TO eat and An
derson was the arst to depart. Johi-
son followed and moment later An
derson called out that he was being
murdered. Friends FASTENED to his as
sistanee, but arrived too late to save
him from most dastardly assault.
Johnson had slashed him about the
neck, causing wound five or six
inches In length and had also laid open
his left arm a distance of eight inches.
Of'icer Stark at once took the would-he
murderer into custody. The wounded
man was taken to Doctor Estes Of
flee and remained there until s o'clock
this mornlng, getting his cuts relieved,
He was taken to his home then, suffer-
ing greatly from loss of blood. just
how seriously he is injured is hard to
determine. but it is probable he win re-
cover. No cause for the assault is
known excepting that the drunken
scoundrel who did the dirty work stat
ed, in maudlin way. that Anderson
had attempted to rob him. The knife
was not upon Johnson's person when he
was arrested, and 1t Is thought that the
weapon was thrown upon the beach af-

According 10 the statements OF Astor-
lans who were at Salem during the
closing hours OF the legislative session,
one Of the Astoria amendments provid-
ed that all city officeholders would have
to pay at least SIS in city taxes. The
maximum city levy is 10 mills. and in
order for a candidate for office to pay
scr In taxes he would have to be asses
sed on valuation Of $500. Property
Is assessed In this county at from rs
to SO percent OF It's actual value, so, in
reality the provision meant that an Of
flee holder would have to be worth
from 5000 to $4,000. Representative
carnahaa vigorously opposed the pro-
vision. He said that his property in
terests were outside oi the city but
that ne regarded the provision rs un-
American. Just who was responsible
for its insertion In the bill does rot APP
pear from statements made yesterday
to an Astorian man.
