A CHRISTMAS ROW.
Albert Massa Severely Beaten at jack
son Gate

The evening OF Christmas was made
eventful at Jackson Gate by an assault
upon Albert Massa by unknown parties.
resulting in his receiving severe in
iuries. 1t seems that Massa and sew
eral others were merry making in
Cassassa' g saloon, across the street from
Massa's residence. 1t was about s
O'Clock in the evening. Some noisy
talk was INDUCED in, but no trouble
occurred in the saloon, and as far as we
can hear there was no warlike demon
stration of any kind. Massa left about
8 O'Clock. On getting into the street,
ostensibly on his way home, he was
jumped by four men. They attacked
him from behind, and he was unable to
recognize the men or give any descrip-
tlon OF them. He was badly beaten
about the head and face, and also had
several teeth knocked out. Whether
the injuries were inflicted with bare
lists or club is not known. Massa
was knocked senseless in the road, and
lay there until found by young man
named Guisto, who notified his friends
and he was taken home. He has been
laid up in bed since the occurrence. 1t
was at first feared that his injuries
were serious, but this fortunately
proved not the case. He is rapidly re-
covering. The motive for this attack
is unknown. The sheriff's Office is
working on the case, although the
clews to work upon are OF a meager
character.
