ASSAULT TO KILL
BY RIVER MAN
AFTER MAKING UP QUARREL He
EMBRACES VICTIM AND TER.
RlBLY SLAsHES HIM.
SUSPECTED OF MURDER
On Two Former slons--Belleved
to Have Killed Farmer at Stea-
CALAIS Hotel Last
Yeat.

An ugly cutting ARRAY took place
last evening In the saloon of Edward
]. Maley on Ohio street. below Fourth
The victim was brick mason named
Thomas Hickens. the cuttist being {
river man known as Little Arkansas
and regarded by the police as dan
gerous man.
1t appears that the two had engaged
| in a quarrel short time before the
cutting on the street, but had ap
parently made it up, Arkansas" hug
ging Hickens in token OF restored
friendship. They then went into the
saloon and Hickens was standing
near the automatic piano, listening II
the music and quite unsnspectins
when Arkansas" reached out as
though to embrace him again but, in
stead, with a deyilish laugh, drew a
knife across Hickens' neck and quick
as a flash made another stroke across
the mans abdomen. The knife sunk
deep into the neck, cutting a cash 70
the bone all the way from the tip
of one ear to the tip Of the other.
The cut on the abdomen was also a
bad one, but the knife did not pene-
trate the cavity.
The wounded man was hurried to
the hospital, where DR. Field attended
him. The doctor gave ii as his opinion
that the wounds are not fatal If erysip
elias does not set in. Hickens is not
a married man. He came here from
Ark. some time ago.
The would-be murderer left the
place and went to McCann's saloon,
at Fourth and Commercial. There
Sergeant Cowell arrested him. He was
placed in the city jail. where he will
be held to await developments before
ne is given a hearing.
Arkansas" is a towboat man who
has been coming to Cairo periodically
for years. He is known to the police
as a desperate character. Report has
it that some years ago he killed tire
men in a box car at Centralia, but
We're In his favor ant
ne was never prosecuted, although he
was always strongly suspected of the
deed. There is also strong reasons To
believe that he was the man who
killed Missouri farmer at Steagala's
hotel some months ago, going into thu
mans room and waking him up and
stabbing him without a word; then
going down stairs and out of the hote
and eluding his pursuers by a run
Town Commercial avenue and west oil
Fourth street. He answers the de
scription of the man who committed
this deed.
He acts like crazy man. While
at and talking pleasantly to
man he will slash him with a knife
and slash to kill. In the Jail last night
be kept up a continuous pounding and
calling.
