A SERIOUS ASSAULT
CASE
r. P. DAMATI0 ASSAULTS JACOB

THEN ASSAULTED WITH BRASS
KNUCKLES.

Jacob Thurston was the victim of a
vicious and unprovoked assault in the
lower part Of the city on Thursday
night 1t appears that he entered a crib
in that district and having an unquench-
able thirst proceeded to buy beer. He
kept it up until he had expended nearly
SIS at rate of one dollar per bottle
and then declared that he was out of
money and could buy no more. The fair
siren who had lured him on to his beer
buying extravaganza was not satisfied
with the declaration and soon discovered
that the victim had $50 more in his pos
session. He was finally prevailed upon
: to send the woman out for more beer
and he handed her $40 piece to pay for
it. When she returned she had several
bottles of beer but no change for him.
i Beer at $40 a bottle seemed to be too
much for Thurston and he Immediately
filed vigorous objection. About this
time R. P. Damatio, burly ruffian who

An incident which happened Thursday
evening last will give some idea OF the
rivalry existing among the tug'o.war
teams which will fight for championship
honors during the Regatta next week
1t occurred while the American tug.o.

the Lurline dock.
Captain Martin Franciseoyieh Of the

thinking of the rules OF tug.o-war or
anything else except to see good pull

ing
After a couple OF rounds, Captain
Eigner OF the American team filed a
compliment against tho Austrian captain
to the manager OF the International Tug.
o.War Association, who at once called
Captains johnson, Bjorkland, Lahti and
Papadojlo together. The fine imposed
on Captain Franciscovich was IS, and
the captain wanted to know IL Captain
Eigner knew he was present while he
was pulling.
"Yes, / saw you here" replied Captain
Eigner.
Then why did you not tell me there
was hole in the WALL demanded
Franciscovich. Il move that Captain
Eiguer be fined for knowing that was
present and continuing to pull on the
team at the same time"
This important decision was left to
the board OF captains, who decided that
in order to stick to the rules they
should both be found guilty, and they
announced IS fine on each of the
captains.
The crowd which had been watching
the practice laughed at this decision,
but the two captains appeared to be the
most pleased. because each had made
the Others pay fine. In spite of the
loss they declared that they knew where
they would get their next meal.

has been living with the woman, made
his appearance from some dark corner
of the crib and proceeded to administer
terrible beating to the unfortunate
ThurSon. Using brass knuckles he cut
and bruised him about the head and face
in fearful manner. Damatio was ar
rested on a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon and when brought be-
fore Judge Goodman yesterday asked
that his case be continued until today
which was done and the case will come
before the court at 3 p. M. In the mean
time Damatio is out on 500 cash bail
which he furnished.
The woman in the case, who is the
notorious Molly Tracy, alias Mollie
Gordon, was arrested and charged with
vagmncy. In the police court yesterday
afternoon she pleaded guilty and was
fined $50 with the alternative Of 80 days
in Jail. On condition that she leave
the city at once and not return the
sentence was suspended but she will be
held in the custody of the police de-
partment until after the arraignment of
Damatio wherein she will be witness.
Mollie Tracy was the wife of Outlaw
Tracy who created such a sensation a
few years ago and was the sister OF his
pal, Merrill, whom he killed. through
fear that Merrill would betray him.
Damatio has been working as a bar
tender in that part of town but of late
has been doing no work.
