BOHEMIA VS.. ITALY.

- Joe Prinsike-or somewhere there

of his anatomy that comes in direct
the hand of a knife welding Italian.
1t happened Sunday. There is much
haziness about the transaction. and
nothing is absolutely certain except
the wound. As Marshal McCammon
reports it. a party of sons of sunny
Italy were lettering around the brew
cry Sunday, consumed with raging
thirst. Prinsike, who drives the ice
wagon for the brewery, was solicited
by the arid bunch to trot out bucket
of suds. but according to the marshal.
Joseph is a great respecter of the Sab
bath, and refused to comply with the
request. This irritated one of the
gang, who Slipped knife into Prin-
skies rear while his attention was di-
rected elsewhere. This broke up the
session. The marshal arrested the
man alleged to have committed the
cutting. and tangle resulted from the
arrest, as the crime was committed
beyond the jurisdiction of the town
authorities. Anyhow, the prisoner
was called upon to put up $40 as bail,
and as he considered it cheaper to
lose the tenner than to employ an at
torney and stand trial he disappeared
from view. Prinsike's injuries were
not serious, as he was out driving the
ice wagon Monday, and seemed to SUI
fer no inconvenience from the pune
ture.
