the unsavory Winston block on Hotel
street, near River, yesterday evening

I'm too old to get licked" said Col.
Knox to Star reporter this morning,
land when that big guy that calls him
self an African Negro, but is more like
cannibal, went for me over some
thing what was none of his business, l
just naturally tried to go for him, but
It want no use He threw the worries
into me for fair and pretty nigh hypo-
thecated my nose I'd a bitten him
back but I'm siXty-three years of age
and my teeth are mostly gone and he
had the advantage by whole double
row of worries. He likewise masticat-
ed the right side of my head and went
to bite my eyebrow. 1t all came of a
lady owing me six-bits and she handed
me a dollar bill and we when went to
make change Johnson said he had it in
for me and the trouble started I
don't as it was any of his business"
KnOx's nose bears evidence of having
been bitten, the marks of teeth being
visible on either side Knox's nose is
not small and the cook of the Restorer
must have been real hungry. Johnson
certainly tried to bite off more than he
could chew. Knox swOre out a war
rant this morning for the arrest Of
Johnson.
