+. G.. White of Denver, general ag-
ent for the Ffremen's Fund and spec
iaI agent for the other Insurance com
panies represented in the loss on
M]aennerchor hall by last weeks fire.
and the board of trustees of the Maen-
nerchor corporation reached an agree
ment as to the loss at noon today, Mr..
White agreeing for the insurance COM
panies to ray $500 OF the 1000 car
ried by the corporation on the building
and scenery. The agreement reached.
the money will be forthcoming With
out further delay.
Will Meet Tomorrow.
The trustees of the corporation will
hold a meeting tomorrow night, when
II is believed that the work of repair
ing the auditorium will be undertaken
at once, in the hope of keeping the
| agreements made for the three events
scheduled for this month in that hall.
These include the Masonic ball on the
| night of the Both and two dances be-
| fore hat time. Whether the hall can
he gotten ready for the first W is a
question that will be determined.
Council Will Not Hinder.
1t is not believed any action the
council may see fit to take will hinder
the repairing of the auditorium. the
stage building being an after-consid-
Grafton. The hall will be gotten in
shape, as the noun of damage to
that portion of he building was not
so extensive as to justify, in the minds
of the members of the board. he
tearing down of the structure II the
building of one that will conform to
the requirements of the council. if that
body makes an iusistent demand.
Both Parties Satisfied.
The settlement of the losses is sat
isfactory, evidently, to the two parties
at interest. Mr.. White asked that
nothing mean be said of him and Mr..
Lohlein. for the board of trustees,
, said there was little to add to what
he asked reporters for this paper to
say. Mr.. White has been fair-minded
r in his dealings with the board and has
I gone out of his way to be obliging, as
q have the members of the corporation
owning the building. The Maenner'
Choir corporation will be as e%nterpris
ing as 1t has been in the past in the
matter of furnishing a place for the
amusement and entertainment for the
people of the city.

NUMEROUS THRUST FROM
GEORGE JOHNSON.
Men Had Trivial Quarrel Over Game
of Cards and Negro Took White
Man in His Arm, Striking Hin
With Knife in other Hand-John-
son in the County Jail.

Fred Greenbeck was quite severely
wounded in the breast last night, re-
ceiving a stab wound from a knife said
to have been welded by George John
son, alias Robinson, a negro rolling
mill hand. The wounded man was
taken to his home on Pine street,
where DR.. Ballard attended him. The
knife entered near the heart, striking
a rib, which bone it is believed to
have splintered, this feature of the
wound being taken by the surgeon to
mean that but for the rib the knife
might have penetrated a vital spot.
Mr.. Greenbeck is resting comfortably
today, his physician looking for no I'M
toward turn of affairs.
Wounded Man Taken Home.
Johnson, who worked at the mill as
Robinson, vas discharged yesterday
for drunkenness. Last evening he and
GreenDeck were In a saloon, when
some sort Of a difference occurred be-
tween them. Greenbeck left the card
table and went to the bar, according
to one story of the affair. when John
son came up to him, placed n arm
about his shoulders and welded the
knife with the other hand. The blade
penetrated the mans breast, cutting
its way through his clothing, which
were stained with the blood thai
flowed from the wound following the
removal of the blade. Friends soon
had the unfortunate man on his cot
at home and a physician by his side

Cured and he was delivered to Sher-
if Bath at the county Jail, Johnson
denies doing the cutting, but IN the
minds of those who witnessed the al

that ne would not arraign Johnson un'
til the extent of Greenbeck's oun
could be more fully determined.
First Said to Be Murder.
1t was reported on the streets las
night that Greenbeck had died on The
way to his home, other reports having

to Johnson's wicked thrust. There wa
