Johnny Evers was injured, is GER

Since Evers' injury Zimmerman
has been delivering the goods all

been about as errorless. In the

porous business men, we're the most ar
dent and, SO far as could be learned by
the police. she divided her fayors between
them.
Policeman O'Brien. attached to the Her
bert street station, found the men COM
pletely exhausted by the loss of blood, but
still facing each other. AS O'Brien rushed
between the men they reeIed and dropped
to the sidewalk. An ambulance brought
DR.. Connolly from st. GATHERINGS Hos
pital, and the men were bundled into the
vehicle and conveyed to the station house,
where the surgeon spent several hours
dressing their wounds. He found the
dsellists weak from the loss Of blood, but
as none Of the wounds was serious both
were locked UP.
Magistrate O'Reilly, in the Manhattan
avenue court, questioned the prisoners,
who declined to make a statement.
AS neither Of the men would make u
complaint against the other, Magistrate
