Stabbing at Shubert.

A cutting ARRAY of serious
proportions occurred in Shubert
Saturday evening. Sim Weddle
and Frank Holstein had d
wordy difficulty on Friday even
ing but nothing serious resulted.
On Saturday evening Weddle
with Il few companions were
walking down the street in
Shubert when Holstein suddenly
appeared and stabbed Weddle
in the shoulder. Holstcin i'm
mediately ran with Weddle in
pursuit They met again in a
moment and Weddle struck
Holstein At this place Weddle
was stabbed twice in the leg,
one cash requiring thirteen
stitches to close, The men were
separated and Weddle taken to
the doctors Office where he
tainted from loss of blood. 1t
was with great difficulty that
his life was saved as his eXhauS.
ton from excessive bleeding
bordered on complete collapse.
AT this writing the injured mar
is very weak but his ultimate
recovery is expected

FrightenS Horses.

On Saturday afternoon just as
passenger train No. II was
pulling out from the station,
a team of horses which had
been hitched to a nearby rack,
but which the owner united a
few minutes before, became
frightened and turning suddenly
around started of eastward.
The two men occupants of the
buggy were thrown out but were
injured. The team was caught
in the orchard just east OF Mr..
Wilcox's eating house and the
damage was very slight.

Graft.

The Journal is busily engaged
in howling graft. The Martins
are experts on graft. They
know it when they see it and
their statements along that line
are no doubt given great cred
ence by the burdened public.
Well why shouldn't they know
the ms and outs of a graft. they
have spent their lives making
if a study. But a short time
ago they were sending out Il
prospectus setting forth the
riches that were in store for
those who cared to take stock
in Il mine that had carefully
been inspected by Mr.. Tom
Martin. an expert along that
line. They are at the head of
d stock food that any farmer
can get the same or a better
formula for preparing, free from
the government. Last but not
least they are now busily en-
gagged scratching Bill McCray S
back trying to trade him the
stock food receipt for bridge
contract
Graft you bet, that whole
family can define that word to
a frazzle. The head of the fam
lily and the real editor of the
old Journal, is a finished adapt
in the science Of graft. Noting
the smooth way he slips himself
into a case where he can hold
up the county for a fee, as for
instance the Constantine and
the Bode cases, and others too
numerous to mention.
