OSCAR REEVES CUT
 BY DEPUTY SHERIFF
Both Parties Said to Have Been h. toxicated When Trouble Arose. Reeves Had Narrow Escape
 From Death.

In a difficulty which occurred in this city Tuesday night be- tween Oscar Reeves and Isaac Reed, tho former received a knife stab in the left side of the neck, the wound being a serious one, as the blade barely missed sever ing one of the large arteries of the neck.
 Just how the trouble was brought about could not be learned, but from the best in- formation obtaina ble, it seems that both the parties were in an intoxicated condition, but up to that lime had had no trouble with each other. Shortly afterward Reeves was placed under arrest by Night Marshal Bratcher, but was released few minutes later by request of w. B. Emerson, who said he would stand good for Reeves and take him home. Reeves, accompanied by Emerson started for home and when just north of the Randolph livery
  barn on De Queen street, 1t is said that Isaac Reed, accompanied by Thad Reid followed and over took them. On meeting, it is said Reed began to quarrel when Reeves struck Reed, the latter retaliating with knife and the above results.
 Reed was immediately arrested on a warrant sworn out by Reeves charging him with assault with intent to kill. He was released on a $500 bond and his examining trial set for next Saturday at 10 o'clock before Squire Smith.
 Isaac Reed is we'll known citi- zen of this county, holding the position of deputy sheriff in Ouachita township,
