Another Cutting scrape.

The only disturbance deserving OF
mention on election day in Jackson,
occurred on Broadway street on Tues
day evening. 1t was not the outcome
of any discussion or dispute over cleo
tion matters either, but was caused by
imbibing too freely of liquor. A wagon
load of voters from the electric plant
had been to Clinton to vote. 1t is one
OF the absurdities-and certainly not
the least-Of our local arrangements
for conducting an election, that voters
living at Electra, although within three
miles of polling place, have to travel
from IL to Is miles to vote. In travel
ing half this distance they have to pass
within quarter of mile of two other
voting places. But this is depressing
from our subject. The returning
voters passed through Jackson on
their way home, aud stopped in front
of the Chicago hotel a few moments.
Some of them went inside. On re-
appearing they found several others,
bound also for ELECTRA, had taken pos
session of the wagon. There was not
room for the new arrivals. They were
ordered out, and forced out. A fight
ensued, and in the scrimmage a man
named Sidney Carter, an engineer at
the plant, was stabbed in the hip with
a pocket knife in the hands of Carlo
Luperani. Carter was also cut in the
back. and piece bitten out of one of
his fingers. The knife thrust in the
hip cut bloodyessel, and the blood
spqrted out in stream. He would
have speedily bled to death but for the
timely arrival of DR.. Gall on the scene,
who secured the ruptured vein and
stopped the outflow of blood. The
wounded man was taken to the Globe
hotel. He is getting along nicely, and
no serious consequences are antici pated.
The assailant, Luperani, was arrested,
and is now in jail awaiting examination.
Sheriff Norman went to Electra yester-
day and brought another man to jail,
charged with taking part in the affair.

Cutting scrape.

A cutting affray occurred near the
Piccardo saloon, on the Jackson Gate
road, on Monday afternoon. The
parties were H. Bradley. who is en-
gagged in the lumbe business 10 the
mountains, and W. Gardiner. 1t seems
that Gardiner had been working for
Bradley in getting out logs and tagging
during the summer. When they met
Gardiner wanted settlement for the
balance due him, amounting it is said
to something like $50. 1t does not ap-
pear that there was any dispute about
the amount due, but Bradley wished
to defer the matter. Thereupon
Gardiner became belligerent, and the
pair came to blows. Bradley had his
pocket knife in bis hand at the time,
and used it, cutting Gardiner across
the abdomen, iutiicting a cash that
would have penetrated the cavity had
it not been for striking rib. He also
slashed him on the right side of the
face. Bradley received bruise in the
hand and also about the breast,
thought to have been caused by rock.
Bradley gave himself up aud was placed
in Jail tbs not thought, however, that
the case will be prosecuted. Bradley
who is a man well along in years,
claims to have acted in self-defense.
Bystauders interfered and prevented
the encounter being fought to more
serious conclusion.
Bradley was released yesterday, no
charge being made against him.
