The assault is supposed to have been
the final outcome of some personal en-.
nifty the men had shown for each
other on previous occasions, although
no such assault was ever suspected by
the men or by Joe Wester who is in
charge of the subway construction
work.
Up to the time OF going to press,
the attempted murderer had not been
apprehended and but little hope is held
out for his capture as it is understood
the sheriff's Office was not notified
until nearly "a hours after the assault
was alleged to have occurred. Officer
White and Foreman Joe Wester made
every effort to locate him, but without
success. 49,
The wounded man, who is Hun
garian, could give no reason for the
assault upon him although a possible
cause is thought to be the fact that his
assailant had just been discharged by
the road that morning and it is poss-
ible that he laid the blame for his
dismissal on his victim.

Railroad Laborer Stabbed in Back.
Attack Result of Personal Feud

What came very nearly being fatal
stabbing affray, took place Monday
shortly after six o'clock p. NJ, in front
OF the mess car on the railroad right
Of way near Power street, when Mike
Hecmovich, Roumanian railroad sub
way laborer armed with a murder0us-
looking dirk attacked fellow worker,
one Carl Szcvygiellski, as he left the
car after having just eaten supper, and
stabbed him twice in the back.
After his victim crumpled to the
earth with blood squirting in streams
from his wounds, the dastardly assas-
in made good his escape in the dusk
and before posse could be formed to
apprehend him.
The wounded man was hurriedly
placed on board hand car and rush
ed to a point opposite the N. P. Hos
pital to which place he was carried by
his willing comrades. This prompt
action on the part of the men no doubt
will result in the wounded mans re-
covery as the flow of blood was stop
ped just in time by the hospital sur
geons.

staff, while admitting that the mans
injuries were serious, stated that un-

That the seventh judicial district,

sided over by one judge, is shown by
the movement now on foot to create
a new district thereby to more advan-
tageously divide the work now being
done by Judge Hurley.
After citing the number of cases now
pending on the Custer county docket,
and after giving complete record
of the total number of all kinds
of cases handled by Judge Hurley, the
Miles City American in recent issue,
has this to say In reference to the mat
ter:
while Judge Ayers of Fergus coun-
ty, and other judges are complaining
of being overworked Judge Hurley 81
the district court has gone along
quietly without kick. He may be
overworked. but he has made no COM
plant. but has kept up the grind des-
pite the fact that his district comprises
virtually six counties.
There has been talk for some time
as to dividing the district and Judge
Hurley says he is in favor of this.
Fallon and Prairie counties will com.
pose one district and Dawson Richland
and Wibaux the other. When this is
done Governor Stewart will appoint
q judge for this district. Already the
democrats are looking around for an
available lawyer for the judicial ap-
pointment."
