ASSAULTED BY
 NEGRO THUG
lake Grossman Slashed By Hold Up Man But Knocks His
 Assailant Down.

Jake GrOESIIlcWl 0I tllc IMm OI Grossman & Solomon and a prominent young merchant of this city had a close call for his life about II 80 o'clock Sunday night at the hands of a negro thug, who attempted to rob him. As it was, he received five knife slashes that rent his coat, but luckily did not reach the flesh. Had Mir. GroSsman not found a stick with which to defend him. self, the desperate negro would no doubt have taken his life.
 MT. Grossman had been to the train with some Walnut Ridge friends and returned to his room i'm the Board building about II o'clock. He had gone to the rear of the building and was return ing via the alley. Just as he reached the corner store occu- pied by Knoles plumbing shop, big negro weighing about 175 pounds stepped from the corner projection, drew a knife and with a threat ssGive me your money or I'll cut you to pieces" ad- vanced upon him. MT. Gross man to gain time to think and act, asked him how much mo- ney.'' This angered the negro and he began slashing at the young merchant. Twice Mir. Grossman knocked back his as sailant with fist blows. He then grabbed stick about eighteen inches in length.
 By this time the negro was thoroughly angered and declared he would kill him (Grossman). The firHt blow with the stick was ineffective, but the next landed squarely across the blacks fore head causing him to tumble back ward over the curb.
 Mir. Grossman saw his chance to get away, rushed upstairs to his room, grabbed his gun against the protests of Mir. Morris Solo- mon, his roommate, who chung to him, thinking his partner had become engaged in a scrap. When Mr. Grossman reached the street, his assailant had disap- peared. The alley was searched and Officer Carouthers soon reached the scene and joined Mir. Grossnlan in an effort to find Ae negro, but without result.
 Without street lights, this form Of ofcutlawry is apt to become gen fl and the citizen has little protection in the darkness even about his own premises or home.
 Af. Grossman's coat is almost cut to pieces and yet after an engagement at such close quar- tes, the darkness of the street prevents him from being able to
 give any description of the negro
 and about the only identification
 possible would be from the wound inflicted by the stick.
