was to be on the down train. This he
did, and next day the man was arraign-

plant of Francisco Calabral for assault
with deadly weapons. Neither the COM
plainant nor the accused understand a
word of our language and an interpreter
was necessary. Jerry Ioi was appoint
ed by the court and proved very in
telligent and able interpreter; John Ber-
gonzi also assisted. Mr. loli was an eye
witness of the affair and gave very
straightforward account of what he saw.
1t was on Sunday morning the 22nd and
all had been drinking beer when Antony
Chicktoni without provooation or warn
Ing. rushed up behind Francisco Gala
bral and began slashing at him with a
razor. SO rapid were the motions that
blood was streaming from several
wounds In face and neck before anyone
could interfere and stop the frenzied
deed Francisco will carry bad scars as
long as he lives. Chicktoni was bound
over to the Sept. term of court; and be-
Ing unable to furnish bail was taken to
Skowhegan Jail by Sheriff Pierce.
