 BODIES COVERED WITH WOUNDS
Italians Have Fierce Encounter on Maple Strcct--Warrlnts Served oil Injured Men at HoSpital-Their Re coycry EApcctcd-Othcr Matters.

Lying in adjoining cots in the New l Britain hospital, suffering from scr ious stab wounds and knife slashes which they inflicted on each other in fierce fight on Maple street last evening, Frank and Felix Pulamno this morning accepted service of War rants presented by Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart charging them with assault. While there are numerous wounds on both men and they are in weak condition from loss of blood, it was said at the hospital today that they will recover.
 Although the writs used in placing them in the custody of the authorities simply charge them with assault, l more serious count will no doubt, be l pressed against them after they re- 1 cover sufficiently to permit of their ap- ] pearance in court for a hearing. The ! papers were issued by Grand Juror l s. $. GwilIim who charged them with 1 a misdemeanor, simply to give the authorities a chance to hold them ! until the state is ready for the trial. l There is considerable mystery sur 1 rounding the fight in which the 1 wounded men participated, no one seeming to have any knowledge as to 1 the cause, although their friends claim there has been bad feeling between l them for a long time.
 1 The first knowledge the police had 1 of the affair was when Frank, the oldest of the two brothers, with blood flowing in great quantities from sew al o,to n6 into a arms of Patrolman Marine who was returning to Central Square after hay ing covered his beat. This was about 1 nine o'clock The man had left a crimson trail in his wake, having half dragged himself from Maple street near East where the fight occurred, to the center where he met the of fcer The latter helped him towards Dr. Moody's office but the man col l lapsed in front of the Newton block and made the rest of the trip to the 1 physician in George Rich's carriage 1 which was communicated by the po- liceman.
 In the meantime, Barney Mason 1 found the other victim lying in a poo of his own blood in the snow, not far from the scene of the battle Sheriff Hart had been sent for and he secured a team to take the injured man to the office of Dr. l.. H. Frost It was at once apparent that both of the men were in a bad way and after giving first aid'' the physicians ordered their removal to the hospi- tai.
 | The firemen's new auto was pressed into service as an ambulance the second time it was used for that pur- pose in two weeks) and the pair was hustled to New Britain.
 Felix had a number of deep cuts which seemingly were made with T stilletto or other double edge weapon
 He had two bad wounds about the head, one of which was of dangerous character, the knife having pierced the drum of his ear. He also hac
 several bad gashes on his arms an6
 back. There were slashes across his
 hands and the blood flowed in such
 copious quantities from the numerous
 wounds that his clothes were literally
 soaked with the crimson fluid.
 Although he presented a terrible
 spectacle when he arrived at the doc
 tors office, Franks wounds did no
 appear to be as serious as those O.
 his brother. He was slashed, rather
 than stabbed He had four long ant
 ugly cuts on his face and head, on,
 of which extended from behind tn,
 ear to his mouth. He had a slasl
 on his arm and one or two small In cisions in his back.
