ACHILLE BOY IS
SERIOUSLY CUT
Walter Grinslade Sustained Three
Knife Wounds i'm Fight and John.
Rochelle is Under Bond Charged.
With Assault to Kill.

Ae the result of a cutting scrape-
pulled off on the streets of AchiHe
Monday Walter Grinslade, aged IS
years, is in a serious condition with
three knife wounds in his body, anJ
Jim Rochelle, aged IS years, is out q,
under bond charged with assault to-
kill. The examining trial has BEEN
set for Saturday, July 29th, in JUS
tice court. Grinslade has one deep
wound on the left side between the
sixth and seventh ribs just below the
heart, severe cash on the left
hand that split the hand open above
the last joint of the little finger, and
a deep half-mOOn shaped cash be-
hind the left ear. 1t was thought at
first that he would die, but later re-
ports indicate that he is improving
and has fairly good chance to re-
cover.
The story of the fight as told a re-
porter, is that the two boys had been
havin gtrOubIe and that they met
on the streets Monday. when the Do
chelle boy went home. Late he re-
turned down town and was sitting
in front Of store, when the Grins-
lade boy walked up and is said to
havebegun to abuse him and struck
him couple OF blows over the head
while he was sitting down, when the
Rochelle boy jumped up with his
knife in his hand and inflicted the
wounds described. Grinslade bled
profusely from his wounds and 1t
looked like he would bleed to death. q
Both boys have the reputation of be-
ing peaceable fellows who attend to
their own business, and neither or
them have been in trouble before, il
is said.
