A most brutal and vicious attack
was made last Thursday, in the coal
mine, by John Soda, an Austrian
miner, on Jimmy Gardner, a driver.
It seems q quarrel arose over an axe,
which led to blows, when Soda struck
Gardner in the back with q sharp pick.
driving it clear through the lungs,
coming through the chest. 1t made .
ragged, ugly wound and the doctor
said there was. only ono chance in \
Thousand that Gardner could live. 1t
has been just a week today and he is
getting along with show Of recov-
cry. Gardners friends were very
much incensed over the attack, and to
prevent further trouble Marshal
Koontz took the prisoner to Gunnison
where he is at present in Jail.
Jimmy or "Windy" Gardner is still
resident of Crested Butte and q

He does not seem to be any the worse

pride
