comfortably with his extended legs on
the barrow handles.
III call 1t a day" he said to his
scandinavian assistant. IF there's
anything else to be done, I'll let YOU
DO 1t. Don't thank me; it's no more
than my duty. What's that? You

Well, I'm here to tell you that the

FOREIGNER STABS
WOMAN WITH KNIFE
MRS. ALBERT coss. OF MARTINS
FERRY, PROBABLY FATALLY
WOUNDED.
Was Attacked While Defending Son
Assailant Being Held to Await
Result Of Injuries.

Mrs. Albert coss. OF Martins Ferry.
was probably fatally stabbed by a
foreigner yesterday afternoon while
making brave attempt to save the
life or her son, Richard Moore. whom
the foreigner had attacked with a
knife.
IL seems that Mrs. Coss and her son
were engaged in repairing the damage
done to the fence in front OF their
home by the recent floor and were
occupying the greater part OF the side
walk In saving post with a cross-cut
saw when two foreigners passed along
the street. One OF the foreigners. a
surly ruffian. employed in mill at
Martins Ferry. resented the fact that
young Moore was occupying so much
OF the sidewalk and kicked him TO one
side. Moore warned the foreigner
against repeating the assault. and
when the man answered by cursinG.
Moore stopped TO pick up a stone.
Al this point the foreigner. who Is
supposed TO he an Italian. drew a large
dirk knife and rushed AT Moore. who
fled down the street Mrs. Coss pur
sued the Italian. who soon overlook
Moore and made several passes at
him with the knife. and the brave
mother, knowing that the life of her
son was in danger, and not thinking
OF herself. grabbed the foreigner by
the arms.
Suddenly turning. the foreigner
stabbed Mrs. Coss in the back with
his ugly knife. inflicting a wound that
viii probably prove fatal, as il is
thought that the knife entered her left
lung. The injured woman was carried
into her home and DIR. r. II. Wilson
summoned.
Following the assault the two for
eigners ran down back street of the
city and one returned to the mill.
where he was arrested by members of
the police force. The other. the one
who committed tie assault ran on
down the street. but was pursued by
James Jennings and Fred Sommer.
who caught the man and turned him
over TO the authorities.
Both will be given a hearing this
evening.
