the lesson for today is that that one

Stories of eye-witnesses to the cut
ting seem to be we'll in harmony, al
though none are able to tell just what
brought on the trouble. GOsnell was
sitting on the Curbing at the north
side of the city park talking to sew
eral companions when Jackson came
along. The latter engaged GOsnell in
conversation and the men seemed 10
be quarreling, although those nearby
thought they were in fun" and paid
no particular attention to them. The
first sign OF any serious trouble was
when Jackson pulled ont his pocket
knife, bent GOsnell back over the
curb on which he was sitting, and
stabbed him. Several witnesses say
that Jackson exclaimed "--you,
Gosnell," just as he cut the other man.
NeighbOrs and acquaintance say
that the two men have been enemies
for years and that there has been
considerable trouble between them.
No one knows, however, just what the
trouble originated from, and no one
seems to know what brought on the
clash yesterday. While Jackson was
being arraigned before Justice Bacon
he made statement that, No man
can run over me, don't care how big
he is" but he was Immediately sill
enced by his attorneys and went no
further. Later, he said that there had
never been any trouble between him
and Gosnell. Jackson is an uncle of
GosnelPs wife
Jackson was perfectly calm after
the cutting and walked quietly away
from the scene. Gosnell ran across
the street to DR. Jarvis office with
blood dripping onto the pavement at
every step. The ambulance was call
ed Immediately and the injured man
was taken to the OskaloOsa hospital.
Jackson was arrested some fifteen
minutes after the cutting. He made
no attempt to get away and said he
merely was waiting for the officers
to come and get him.
