A Man.

John w, Jones, a pedler. aged about

tho latter's home, 46 Jeremy street,
near First South between Seventh and
Eighth west streets at 1 o'clock this
afternoon. The knife struck Jones In
the left side of the mouth and the
ear. That the jugular vein was not
severed Is n mystery as the assailant
undoubtedly intended to murder Jones.
The latter was brought to police
headquarters In the patrol wagon by
Driver George Moore and Patrolman
Charles Olson. Jones lost a great deal
OF blood as his body. clothing. and the
patrol wagon were soaked with gore.
Jones was placed on table at the
emergency hospital and DR.. F. b.
Steele hurriedIy summoned. Although
he lost a great deal of blood, Jones
was able to talk and give his version
of the affair.
He said that recently he lost two or
three brides and had learned that
Felonomas wife could give him some
information to the effect that some
boys named Platt knew something
about the theft. Jones says he went
to the Felonoma home and was talking
with Mrs. Felonoma when her hus-
band entered and, with n snarl of rage,
seized a keen bladed knife and at
tackled him, Felonoma then fled from
the place. The police were notified and
Patrolman Olson and Patrol Driver
Moore hurried to the scene. Olson ar
rested Felonoma and brought him to
the station with his victim.
INSANELY JTALOUS MAN
Felonoma is employed by the Oregon
Short Line Railway company as a flag
man. He has been in trouble several
times, and on one occasion. about a
year ago. nearly killed a man with a
knife because he saw the man talking
jealous of his wife, it is said, and re-
sents any one speaking to her.
AT police headquarters Felonomo
said to The News:
II go home. this man he at my
table He talka to my wife. / tella
him to get out. He no go, Then he
grabba a knife and try to cuta me.
I graba 4 knife and cuta him. He no
go when I tella him to 60"
Felonona was locked up-on the
charge of assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to commit murder.
DR. Steele found that the cut on
Jones' face extended from the left side
Of the mouth to point behind the car.
and the ear was also badly cut. While
the knife did not cut the jugular vein.
several arteries were severed. The
surgeon tied up the arteries and then
had Jones hurried to St Marks hos
pital where he Is now in n serious
condition. DR.. Steele says the wound
is a dangerous one but believes the
man will recover.

HANCOCK
MANY LOCAL MERCHANTS
FAVOR EARLY CLOSING

rhe recent warm weather has given
-, impetus To the project of closing
tho stores of Hancock and Houghton
"a & o'clock during the months of July
and August. Immediately following the
t,o,,rth of July and the prospects for
ara accomplishment are now brighter
,hon nj any time since the agitation
was started. A large number of the
local merchants affiliated with the
portage Lake Business Mems assoc
citation have uneduivocally expressed
themselves as thoroughly in favor of
,bc movement, believing that the
charter hours would be beneficial to
themselves as well as their employees
the experiment tried last year having
nroved entirely satisfactory. There Is
comparatively little business done eve
nings during the warm months, and
with the stores remaining open on Sat
urdav and Monday nights, the same as
Is done during the early closing period
neriod following the Christmas holi-
DAVIS everybody can be accommodated
and little If any business is lost.
II is stated that nineteen merchants
of the Portage Lake Business Mems
ossociation have announced that they
were willing to close whether all the
merchants did or not, eighteen declared
that they would close If all would, and
only three were opposed to closing and
declared that they would not sign an
agreement TO close. The clerks have
undertaken to strengthen their posi-
lion by forming union, to be afiiliat-
cd with the American Federation Of
Labor and this evening at the A. o. IL.
hall n meeting is to be held at which
definite action will be taken. With
the active moral support Of the other
labor organizations 1t is thought that
sufficient influence can be brought to
bear upon those merchants who hold
ont against the shorter hours, to in
ducc them to comply with the desires
of the majority in regard to the mat
ter.
The shorter hours during the warm
months are of even greater benefit
and are more appreciated by the
clerks, than the early closing in the
winter, as more opportunities of en-
ioyment are afforded during the warm
season. There are numerous boat trips
and excursions to various points on
the lake. Electric park, and other pla-
ces. which are available for summer
evening outings. but which the clerks
are debarred from enjoying If the
stores remain open until o'clock
The storekeepers also appreciate the
opportunity which the shorter hours
give for spending the long warm eve
nings with their families, taking boat
rides and i'm other ways deriving the
full benefit from the delightful copper
country summer climate, and therefore
the sympathies of the majority of them
are with the clerks i'm their efforts to
make the shorter hours movement a
general and permanent institution.
