Serious Cutting ARRAY.

fight occurred late Saturday night
in a house conducted by Eva Baker, ON
north Lee street, during which William
Mankin. a well-known young man OF
this CITY. was beaten and cut in man
ner which, il is feared, may result in his
death. The injuries are said to have
been inflicted by Houston Burke and
Lewis Sykes, soldiers from Fort Hunt.
Mankin is in the Alexandra Hospital
and the soldiers are in custody. Man
kin is not in condition TO make state
ment and the soldiers refuse to give any
version Of the affair.
Policemen Ferguson aud Belts re-
paired to the scene when police whistles
we're sounded and arrested the two SOL
diers. both of whom were coatless, hat
less, and despatched with blood. Man
kin was too weak to be removed from
the house. DR.. German, who was sum-
moned, finally succeeded in restoring
him sufficiently to be removed to the
hosnital where il was seen that Mankin
bad received five serious cuts IN the
scalp, one circular cut Of nearly SIX
inches; two serious knife wounds in the
back, and other wounds apparently IN
flicted with blackjack.
1t is said that during an alteration
Burke attacked Mankin, and soon sew
eral men became participants. Dr. Cor
man said yesterday morning that Man
kin was in a serious condition, and he
could not foretel the result of his in
juries
After being placed under arrest by
Policeman Belts, Burke succeeded ID
breaking from his captor after delivering
two blows to him, neither OF which,
however, did any damage. Policemen
Arlington, Knight, Belts and Ferguson
about O'Clock reCaptured Burke on an
electric train that was just leaving the
city.
Burke and Sykes were arraigned IN
the Police Court this morning, but the
examination of the case was postponed,
Mankin being unable TO be present.
The trouble between Mankin and
Burke and Sykes is said to have origi'
mated from the conduct of one OF the
soldiers toward woman Of the house,
the latter having had an ugly epiihet
applied to her. Mankin, it is alleged,
resented this and called one of the SOL
diers vile name. The proprietress OF
the house endeavOred to stop the fight
which followed, but WAS unable to do so,
and finally blew police whistle.
The condition Of young Mankin was
thought to be more favorable today.

Woodward, who made a scene at the

Before he could decide three youths
appeared around the corner OF the
first tent and they surrounded the
wagon. Bah knew at a glance they
were city men and OF her own class.
Her modish shoes and skirt. belt. sill.

pink sunbonnet and yellow braids
could clearly belong to Minna Heimer

quite enjoying the situation. returning

queries in that language. Suddenly
another man appeared upon the
scene. Bab's heart gave a great leap
and she caught her breath sharply, as
she bent her head over the box Of
| bread.
So he. Rob Booth. had also fed
from the scenes OF their former hap
piness! In her confusion. the dust
robe dropped as she half rose to take
out the bread.
"Whew! Minna is up to date"
laughed one OF the men. spying the
shining OXfords.
Bah kept the sunbonnet lowered
and resolved to disguise her voice

How much for the brod. Minna?"
asked one of them coming up close
to the wagon.

A shout OF laughter went up at her
transition from perfect English TO the
broken German.

much for a kiss?"
The sunbonnet was raised now, and
caution lost In anger. Two blazing
eyes looked straight at the offender.

The tirkllng of a bell reused her
from her nominations, and looking
up, she saw white, canvas-covered
wagon coming. AS II came nearer,
she read: "A. Heimer. Fresh Baked

She stopped by the roadside and
motioned to the driver to stop. A
ruddy-faced, throat-whlskered old
man beamed serenely upon her.
