AA'hu Dunu 10 bknln III VII uDie,
the most serious he has been in for
some time. He ~ we'll known
painter, and yesterday be and W. B.
Eddings. Of Fulton, q paper hanger
who has been working in Paduoah,
got drunk and took in the town. In
the afternoon they went to Wallace
park and had trouble ct the refresh
ment stand, being finally put out.
They then boarded . car, and when it
came past the Broadway road some Of
the spectators ct the baseball game
boarded 1t. until 1t was quite full.
Il il claimed that Dunn and his
companion used loud and obscene Ian
guage on the car, stuck their feet out
the window and aroused the ire Of
more than one passenger.
There were ladies on the car and the
language was so bad that finally the
passengers began to demand that he
be put of the car. and the conductor,
assisted by several others, succeeded
IN putting both Dunn and his COM
panion of near Tenth and Broadway,
after they had used more indecent lam
guage and dehed any one to try to pus
them of.
Dunn upon reaching the ground
seized o brick and hurled il into the
car. It struck Mr.. Ed Long, plumber.
and oldest son OF Mr.. Courtney Long,
and badly injured his jaw aud face.
The blow rendered him unconscious
and many thought be was killed. He
was taken into . drug store nearby
and revived, and Dunn was captured
with his companion and turned over
to the police.
The crowd was in an ugly mood,
and there were cries of Lynch him
and other threatening remarks, but
cooler heads prevailed and
she two were looked up.
DIR. Brooks was called and made an
Of the wounds and found
them to be very painful, but not
dangerous.
Dunn was locked mp on charge Of
malicious assault, and his companion
for breach Of the peace. A large
crowd was on hand,at police court to-
day, and on account of Longs condi-
tion the case against Dunn was con-
tinued until next Monday. Eddings
was fined 800 and given 90 days in
Jail for Q breach of the peace and
Judge Sanders roundly denounced
such rowdy conduct and said that men
Of Dunn's ilk are the kind who cause
trouble for people who like . little
diversion on the Sabbath and have no
other day on which to enjoy it. Dunn
and his companion had not been to the
game but to the park.
Judge Sanders will issue warrant
against Dunn for the language he used
on the car, and also one for throwing
, stone into the car. He will also
probably issue another one against
Eddings.
Dunn is always causing the police
trouble. He 10 quick to throw brick,
and it was not long ago that he threw
one through the door Of the Red Fox
saloon on Second street after he had
been put out. An effort will be made
this time to give him the full extent
Of the law on as many charges as pos
sible. Other cases tried were;
