BAlR IS DYING.
Man Stabbed in Joint Still Alive, But
Very Low.

Thomas Bair, who is the victim Of a
knife in the hands of oliver Smith, who
stabbed him during a drunken quarrel
in a North Topeka joint last Thursday
night, is slowly dying and the physf-
clans think that it is improbable that he
viii survive the night if he lives until
then. He is at Christ's hospital where
he was taken Immediately after the
stabbing and has been conscious at short
intervals, but has never rallied suff1-
GENTLY to give those attending him any
hopes of recovery.
Oliver Smith. the man who did the
cutting is confined in the county jail
where he was taken Immediately after
his arrest. Judging from his actions
and the statements given out by his
relatives his defense Will be insanity,
although he insists that he acted in self
defense. Mrs. Brown, his aunt, who Wis
tied him at the Jail yesterday is author
ity for the statement that attorneys will
not be engaged or arrangements made
for his defense until his cousin, Con-
gresham Charles Curtis, who Is now n
Washington is heard from.
