ONE MAN is BADLY sHuRT-HE
HAD TO BE CARRIED TO THE
JACKSON HOTEL ON "A STREET
CHER: 5
Last nights revelries ended In q
serious and perhaps fatal manner for
a man: Of Rivesville whose name can.
not be positively be ascertained, when
the8riot which took place some time
ago on the Rivesville street car. was
last night renewed at PstnesyTlle,
near the end of Belleylew avenue.
A party OF whom Vaughn Tucker,
known. as shorty Montford Fluharty
John Torn and Floyd Thrash OF Riv,
esville were part, according to best
report were on the Riyesvllle car
going 10 their homes at Rivesyille, SO
they say. when they stopped at Barnes
Vile, and some remarks made led to
the starting of a fight, with the re.
suit that the GAINESVILLE men badly
wounded one of the Riyesville faction
and whipped the rest Of the Rivesyllle
gang, or jat least they left on the next
car coming to this city with the wound
ed man. He was taken to the office
OF DR.. Kunst, where he was examined
and was found to have a severe cash
in the back part OF his head, which re.
quired several stitches to close It. 4
DR.. Kunst stated that 1t was indeed
luckily that the wound was not more
serious, and blow with a little more
force, would very lllsely l,nye caused
a fracture ioffthe skull, and possibly a
concussion. The man after being
looked after by Dr. Kunst. was first
taken to the Jackson Hotel, and was
still there this morning. .,,. p
He was taken into the hotel on a
cot, and was sreported as unconscious
at that time. &
The name was badly marked UP at
the hotel register very likely to pre-.
vent Identification. hut the names as
written on the register were v. Riggs,
and over this name was written NJ.
Petcrleouk. but this morning man
who came In to see the injured man,
and who went to his room and re.
mained for a couple Of hours, inquir-
ed at the desk for "the man who was
hurt in the fight last night, Mr.. Cook
+ This Is very likely the mans real
name.
When he was taken to the hotel
last night, the parties With him CALL
ed up the hotel and asked II they
could bring a,man there who had been
injured by street car.
The man is a bridge worker on the
Parker's Run bridge which Is being
erected near Rlvesville, and stops at
Rivesvllle.
The fight occurred about 11:2O, and
the injured man was brought to this
city on the car which arrives here
about 20 minutes till 12.
s. All of the persons connected with
the affair refused to talk about the
matter, therefore nothing can be
learned regarding the mans real iden
tlty.
3 1t is understood that part OF the
Brownsville men were James Smith
and his son, and another man by the
name of Ben Smith. and some Of the
Wilson's.
The Rivesville men were In this city
last night, and were rather boistrous
and the police of this city say that
they watched the men closely, fear.
Ing that they would start some troub.

K Another one Of the RiyesviIle men
who was in the fight had a badly
mashed up nose, and was spattered
with blood. His mouth and lips were
considerably swollen, presumably
from n blow on the mouth.
Two OF the men had been drinking,
and were under the influence OF la.
nor at the time they came to Dr.
Kunst's. office. laE
Nothing has as yet been brought
before the justices OF this city, but
1t Is thought: that II the Riyesvllle or
GAINESVILLE town authorities make
no. move towards prosecution OF the
men. that the county officials will take
up the matter ~
The injured man answered to the
OF Slim and his assocl.
ates frequently called him by that
name. n 4,
