Fought I'm a saloon.

Mobile, July 19.-(Special. ALBERT
Green, a we'll known Mobilian. was Sc
verely and perhaps fatally stabbed and
cut early tonight in a saloon on Royal
street. Samuel McCrary, also a well
known Mobilian, used the knife and
when he had been separated from his
victim the latter was found to be bad
ly cut. The row leading to the fight
was as to who had ordered a round
of drinks. Green walked into the
place and asked McCrary, who is be-
yond middle age, to join him in a
drink. The invitation was accepted.
A bystander states that McCrary then
called for drinks which were served.
After drinking the second time dis
putc arose as to who gave the order.
McCrary applied an opprobrious epithet
to Green and the latter struck at him.
McCrary began using his knife at once.
Green's nose was almost cut off, he
was slashed in the head and on the
arms and one wound disjointed the left
shoulder, slanting over the heart and
ceasing at the breast bone. This is the
most serious wound. Green was sent
to a hospital and McCrary was locked
up. The latter is married.
