On March 6 the Two men mad so.4e
trouble in their barber shop, no VII

The first the general public knew
Of the trouble was when w. V. Jas9ef
rushed out through the back door N
tho barber shon and called Justify
for tspolice." Jasner had a scalp wound
on tho top OF his head, where he
claimed Smith had grabbed him with
his teeth. and also had two fingers
quite badly cut. which he claimed was
done with Il razor which Smith held
in his hand.
Tpon the arrival of the police at
the barber shop Smith was ~leanine,
over q bucket, into which We're RAIN
ing big drops Of blood from two ugly
gashes on his face.
In court yesterday Smith claimed
that Jasper administered the cuts
while Jasper said that he did not
know how they were sustained. On
the witness stand in his W defense
yesterday, Jasper said h g ne went 70

himself and one of his hands came u

Jasper then obtained a half Nelson
on Smith and threw him into . cor

then fled and summoned the police.
Tho theory maintained by jasper
is that Smith was cut once in TN
Alamo saloon and was then cut agar
in the barber shop when he picket
up a razor or a knife and attempted t
carve Jasper. The second cut was
again according TO the theory. receiv'
ed when Jasper threw Smith ava.

followed by an advance in the stock
to 1907, a full point below its high
prite Of the previous day. This was
followed by profit taking in Lehigh
Valley and other stocks and the en-
tire list reacted and relapsed into its
dullness OF the early session.
