 ton at Avenue C and 23d

Earring several assaults with intent to murder among the negroes. the police en- joyed an unusually quiet Sabbath yester- day There were no killings and the robberies were for the most part petty with the exception of the assault and robbery in Dr. McDonald's office, where Fred Acton. the doctors assistant was cholxed and robbed of $io by two un- known white men.
 About 2:3o o'clock yesterday morning Ceb Blayton, a negro. had an alterca- ton with Mattie Booth. a negro woman which resulted in Blayton receiving fractured skull. The negro was re- moved to the Hiiman hospital under the direction of Officers Harvill and AL len, who investigated the affair where 1t was stated that his chances for re- covery were slim. The woman escape.
 Later in the morning, in a dispu.e, Edna Lee Hicks and Will Rich, both negroes, were severely wounded by AL bert Cunningham, negro. After this Cunningham escaped. His victims are at the Hlllman hospital and out of danger.
 Yesterday afternoon Emma Langford, a negro woman, who is well known to the police, announced state Of war with Fssie Johnson, another colored damsel, Emma was strongly entrenched at Elev- enth street, between Avenues D and E. and stoutly resisted the verbal artillery fire of Essie. However, Essie was not to be denied and, assuming a strong of- fensive flank movement, she finally van auished the defiant Emma with bay onet charge tsaid bayonet being large butcher knife) in which Emma was se- riously wounded For purely strategical reasons Essie retired at the advance or the police and the ever-ready Red Cross removed Emma to the Hillman, where it is stated that the surgeons will even tnally pull her through.
 But it was at Avenue c, between Twen- ty-second and Twenty-third streets, that one of the sharpest actions of the day took place. A negro known as creep aroused the ire of one Eva Johnson, a tall, lanky negro woman, better known as A high brow" There was much man euyering for positions between the two warning parties and much waste of ann munition. Eva had the advantage of being entrenched in her home, while Creep was in the street posing as Fl human howitzer by hoisting large cobble- stones at the object of his wrath. Eva from her vantage point, threw out every thing in the house at "Creep ana nnaiy her efforts were rewarded by seeing a large vase crash against the skull of "Creep," who took the count of TO- Be- fore he could again resume the offensive Eva, who had discovered that vase was effective, was standing over him and Immediately after Creep lost all in- terest in contemporary events as the sec ond vase was shattered on the top of his head. At the Hllman hospital last night if was stated that Creep was still in the land of where the woodbine twineth not and it was quite possible that he would remain that way for an indefinite period As for Eva, she decided that as she had ruined all the furniture and bric-a-brac by throwing it at the worth less Creep that she had better hunt herself new home. It Is the theory or the detective department that she IS hunting most assiduously, as she cannot be located
 However. although the police and de- tectives were unable to apprehend any of the negroes that caused so much work for the Hlllman hospital, the docket at the city jail was quite heavy, as several were arrested on various minor charges.
