BLOOD SPILLED IN
FIGHT over DRINK
Mexican Slabs Victor Bush After Ar,
gument Which Started in Saloon
On Fifth Avenue.

Blood was spilled in a fight at
Twenty-sixth street and Fifth avenue
last night. The quarrel was over a
drink.
Manuel Garcia, a Mexican, plunged
knife into the upper part of the left
arm of Victor Bush, 2203 Third ave-
nue.. A long, deep wound resulted
Police were called when the battle
was over and although Garcia has
tened from the scene, he was later ap-
pretended. Today he was arraigned
in police court on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon and was held to
a preliminary hearing on Aug 20 in
bonds in the sum of $500. He was
unable to provide bail.
Police do not possess a clear expIa-
nation of the fight. All they could
learn regarding the trouble was that
Bush and Garcia had been in the sa-
loon together and had come out of the
place arguing over a drink.

Tony LOknar as Responsible
for Marital Troubles.
is ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT
Appears on One Charge, Arrested for
Another and Then Cross Bib Is
Filed Against TGiIOr's Wife.

The marital differences of Tony Lok-
mar and his wife, Cecilia, today devel-
oped in the courts into the eternal
triangle Alex Zalac. a chef at the
New Harper. is accused OF being the
other man"
Tuesday Cecilia Loknar filed suit
for divorce. charging Tony bit her In
the arm She accused extreme and
repeated cruelty and asked for the
custody of their child and alimony.
Tuesday Alex Zalac was arrested on
a charge of assault and battery pre-
ferred by Tony, who alleges that he
found his wife and Zalac living to-
gether on Eighteenth street near <s,v-
enth avenue and that when he went to
get her Zalac administered a beating
TO him.
Today when Zalac was brought into
the court Of Justice of the Peace S. e.
Van NOOFden to answer the assault
and battery charge he was rearrested
on a charge of adultery.
And then a cross bill was filed by
Tony today in which he sets forth a
number of things, principal of which
is that he gave his wife two chances
to be a devoted companion, but that
she broke the trust.
r. r. Reynolds, counsel for Tony,
who is a tailor by trade, prepared the
cross bill, in which Tony says that he
and Cecilia were married Jan. II,
1915. He says they lived together until
April 4, 1915, less than three months,
when he became convinced of her I'M
faithfuIness. After being separated
more than year, on June %, 1915, he
says he. took her back to give her a
new chance and that they lived tOgeth
or until Aup II
He accuses his wife OF having given
herself to licentious practices. He
asks the court for the custody of their
daughter Florence. charging that by
reason Of her practices his wife is not
fit to have the care and custody of the
child.
Tony declares that his wife only
beat him TO it when she started suit
for divorce. He declares that he had
contemplated that move. Accordingly
he filed the cross bill.
Zalac had been out on bonds on the
assault and battery charge. He was
not aware that a warrant on a second
charge had been sworn out until Con-
stable Dave CIeland had served it when
he appeared before Justice Van Moor
den on the assault and battery charge

Gated some of the vertebrae in his
neck and back. Poulas brooded over
his condition and feeling that he was
going to die, finally determined to
seek vengeance. With this end in
view he followed DR.. POmroy to Rock
Island and to the Rock Island South
ern station, believing that the doctor
was attempting to get away.
Reaching the end of the Fourth ave-
nue. car line at First street, Poulas
got off the car and waited for his
victim to get off. Just as DR.. Pomroy
swung down the step the shot was
fired. He then put the gun in his
pocket, turned and started running on
Fourth avenue toward town man
at the station, whose name could not
be learned, started after the Greek
and in the meantime a phone call
from the Southern station agent sent
the police racing toward the scene.
Chief of Police Miller and officer
Ginanne, in the small patrol, rushed
to Second avenue, out Second avenue
to Seventh street, up Seventh street
to Fourth avenue and there they met
the man, who bravely pursued Poulas
alone. He pointed their prey out to
the police, who was just a block,
ahead on Fourth avenue. He was
SOOH taken III Gus IOuy anu promptly
handed his revolver, the one he did
the shooting with, over to the officers.
He was then hurried to the police
station and in the meantime the am
bulanCe had gone to the Southern sta
ton and got DR.. Pomroy and taken
him to St AnthOny's hospital, in a
dying condition, it was thought at the
time.
Insanity TO Be Defense!
1t was indicated by Attorney Scott
that an attempt will be made by the
defense to show that POulas is not Of
sound mind. His physical condition
at the time Of treatment by DR.. Pom
roy and afterward will be shown, it is
believed, as sufficient cause to un-
balance the defendants mind by con-
tfnual brooding under the belief that
his neck and back were broken and
that his death was only a matter Of
time.
In the meantime POulas has been
put under $4,000 bond and is being
held in Jail, as no bond has been
posted for him.

Reported Improving BY His At
tending Physician.
PoULAs RELATES HIS STORY
AsSailant Attacks Davenport Man Be-
Iieving Him Responsible for His
"Dying'' Condition.

Though regarded by the attending
physician, DR.. Joseph De Silva, as yet
far too early for definite statement,
the condition Of DR.. w. b. Pomroy,
Davenport optometrist. who was the
victim of an assault made by James
Poulas at the Rock Island Southern
station yesterday afternoon, was be-
lieved much improved today. How
ever. the patient is not thought to be
out of danger. but barring serious
complications his recovery is expect
ed.
Late this afternoon an X-ray will be
used in an attempt to locate the bull
let that entered the mans body. The
bullet, II seems, pierced the back just
below the left shoulder blade, taking
an upward course, barely missing the
heart. 1t is the belief OF Or. De Silva
that the lead went through the left
lung and a swollen place on the right
breast would indicate, according to
the physicians statement, that the
bullet is lodged there.
Showing no outward signs Of fear
for the consequences that might re-
suit from his attempt to kill DR.
Pomroy. POulas rests calmly in his
cell at the police station After pass
ing a peaceful night Poulas arose
early this morning and displayed a
desire to have his breakfast. A
bountiful meal was sent into him by
Desk Sergeant Flanagan, and POulas
ate heartily, apparently without a
thought of what his fate might be or
of the crime he had committed.
Tells Story to His Lawyer.
Attorney j. X. Scott has been re-
tanned to defend POulas at his pre-
liminary hearing which was continued
this morning at the request Of the de-
Tense, to Aug. 20. In a long talk with
Mr.. Scott this morning, Poulas told
his story, admitting he committed the
deed and telling his reasons for do
ing so.
In his story to his attorney Poulas
declared that he had been troubled
with his neck and back, and in seek
ing relief had visited DR.. Pomroy in
Davenport, who, it seems, practices
as a chiorpractic as well as an OPTIC
metrist. Poulas declares that his
condition grew much worse after re-
ceiying treatment from Dr. POmrOy
and for a while he was barely able TO
get around. He then sought other
physicians and was told by them that
he was in a very serious state Be
lieving that DR.. Pomroy had dislo-

Then weigh and measure again. 1t
itsn't question of how you look or
