street. was stabbed In a tight in an ally
near his home at SO D. m. Friday by
Peter Pwp. 1903 South Thirteenth street,

pocket knife and was just under the heart.
Fortunately the blade glanced on a rib
and the wound ia not thought to be fatal.
Andrew Hurt was also stabbed by the
same man, but escaped with cuts about
the face and hands. His clothing was
partially torn from him. Pwp was arrested
by Captain sheehan on the spot. lie was
taken to the jail and charged with stabbing
with murderous intent.
The trouble arose through an insult Of
fered by Pwp to Miss Sarah Moore, sister
to the young man who was injured. He
met Miss Moore az she was nearly home
and threw his arms about her. She escaped
and ran home In great fright and told her
brother, who, with Mr.. Hurt, gave chase
ca Pwp who was in plain slsht from the
house. They caught him In an ally at
Twenty-first and 1 streets. He showed
fight and the two men beat him in the
ally until he drew the knife. In the mean
time other neighbors rushed to the scene
and when It was found Moore had been
seriously wounded they set about at once
TO execute urinary punishment on Pwp
by hanging him. Luckily for him Captain
Sheehan arrived and took the man in
charge. His injuries were slight. Or. X.
h. Schindel dressed the wounds OF young
Moore and said he was fortunate in escap-
ing with a chance for his recovery.
Financing Country Club.
The South Omaha Country club held an
important meeting last night at Library
hall. Many Of the member were present
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of issuing S25,-
900 worth OF negotiable interest-bearing
bonds for the purpose Of purchasing the
club grounds and paying the Indebtedness.
The committee on ways and means pro-
posed this as the most feasible way of re-
lieving the directors of their present obli-
cations.
The Members present were of the opinion
that the bonds would find a ready sale
among the members Of the club. 1t is pro-
posed that the club members be given the
first chance to purchase. The proposition
is to raise the dues Of the members from
SIS, as at present, to t25.
In order to perfect the details or the bond
Issue, the president appointed w. c. Lam
bert, L. M. Lord, e, f. Folda, @. H.. Brewer
and Al Powell, the members Of the com
hhNAN "hiCh ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the pTOpQSlllOn,
TO continue their services.
The soliciting will work to-
gether with this committed to devise the
most practicable bonds with the best rate
of interest. The limit of the sale to any
member will possibly be raised to any
amount desired. This. it is thought, will be
more acceptable.
The bonds will be secured by first mort
gage lien on the property.
