the scene of a stabbing ARRAY last

hacked him savagely. inhicting five
ugly gashes. The wounds are located

Both men are married and live side
by side. AS neighbors they were never
able to get along, the men taking part
in the cloths lines fights that were
carried on by the members of their
households. Although the trouble has
been brewing for a long while, their
arguments were never emphasized by
force until yesterday when they met
outside their own premises with no
fence intervening.
Although seriously injured, liam
monds physicians say he will probably
recover unless blood poisoning should
set in. The police have made
thorough search for Kasper, but ne

keep a sharp lookout for him and are
liable to capture him when he comes
