 ASSAILANT ESCAPES
Police of Six Cities on Watch for Lafayette Street
 Slasher.

Abraham Sarges of 21 Lafayette street is at the New Britain General hospital suffering from seven knife Slashes on various parts of his body, while the police of six cities are on the alert for Esmile Hausen. 30 years old, who is wanted by the local au- thorities for stabbing Sarges last night. The victim is not in serious condition.
 Just before Il o'clock last night Officer A. J. Richardson was called to 21 Lafayette street where he heard loud groans coming from the inter for. All the doors were locked, so he finally entered through a rear win dow and found Sarges lying in a pool of blood. Officers Hellberg and Kennedy, and later Officer McCue were detailed on the case. Sarges told the police that Esmilc Hausen stabbed him.
 What caused the fight is not known and neighbors profess to know noth- ing of it. The first they knew, they say, was when Sarges yelled Get the police, I am being killed.
 Hausen is known to the police, hay ing once been arrested for carrying concealed weapons.
 Following further investigation this morning, Detective Sergeant Bamforth learned that Sarges has been in the city only three days. He went to the Screw shop to get enn- ployment and Hausen was called out to act as interpreter. Hausen took a liking to Sarges and found him place at his boarding house. Yester- day he told a friend that he did no' believe SargeS was a Iurk p"I thought he was an Armenian ana had been sent here to kill hlm' De- cause he was a Turk. He expressed a determination to have Sarges leave his house. The police think 1t posslble that this suspicion may nave grown in Hausen's mind until he decided It would be better for him to XIII Sar- ges before the latter got him,

A1lyn's Point, May 12.-FHire was discovered at the end of the wharf at Al1yn's Point at 11:15 this morning and quickly spread to the coal pock- cts containing nearly 5000 tons of soft coal.

Daddy Fox could not forget how he
had been fooled by Little Billy Bunny.
Every time ne thought aaous il ne s"s
madden and madden. To think that
little bunny should be able to get the
better OF Robber Hawk and Daddy
Fox! Well, well, well! 1t certainly
was enough to make an old fox mad.
So Daddy Fox made up his mind
that he was going to get the better OF
Billy Bunny il 1t took him lifetime.
But just how to do 1t was the question.
And it was a mighty serious question,
too. Daddy Fox had not been able for
a long time to get a fat goose or a fat
hen from the Old Barn Yard. The
Henhouse door was always locked at
night. there was no way to get any
poultry, so Daddy Fox made up his
mind that he was going to eat some
rabbit meat.
Now, in the Friendly Forest was a
little log cabin. 1t had nice door at
one end and three windows, besides
tall chimney of red brick. There was
a great big fireplace for logs, but no.
body was living in the log cabin, and
so Daddy Fox had bright idea. He
would invite Billy Bunny to come to a
popcorn party at the. little log cabin!
So he sent out invitations to Jimmy
Chinmnnlt and Twinkle Tail the squir-
rel Featherhead the gray squirrel was
also invited, so was Dickey Meadow
