Vaughn is of the opinion that De-
old must have planned to attack him
shd that he waited until he started out
Of the saloon to find him alone. He
believes that DeBold followed him
after he left the house Tuesday even
ing with the idea Of attacking him.
Trouble Over Moving Van.
Investigation revealed that the trou-
Bile at the Vaughn home had come up
on Tuesday when moving van had
come from Chicago to take the Vaughn
household goods there. Several weeks
ago, following the suit for a divorce,
there had been reconciliation of Mr.,
and Mrs. Vaughn and they had planned
to move to Chicago. The quarrel that
arose yesterday was between Vaughn
and his wife's parents, who were very
DESTROYS that the fam y keep its home
in K.oshs Faall the moring "a
was sent back to Chicago empty and
Vaughn had planed to go to Chicago
late in the evening to see his wife, who
is now visiting there O
At the hospital "Hippo" has FREE
quently called for his wife and his
son, Jim Vaughn, Jr, and they have
been summoned from Chicago to come
to his bedside.
Late this afternoon DR.. Thompson,
who is the physician in charge, de-
clared that Vaughn's wound was not
dangerous and that unless unforeseen
complications set in, he should be able
to leave the hospital after a few days.
Police officers Seek DeBold In Vain.
The first report of the stabbing came
to the police from DR.. George E.
Thompson, who reported the case to
the officers just after twelve o'clock
this morning Captain Wade and Po-
lice Officers G.. Radatz and Dupris were
sent out on the case. When they
reached the temperance saloon where
the cutting was reported to have taken
place, they found it closed but search
was made at the DeBold home on
Hamilton avenue but no trace of the
man wanted was found. The stories
told by Mrs. DeBold were practically
the same as those told by Vaughn at
the hospital this morning. Mrs. De-
Bold told the police that Vaughn had
been abusive to her in the afternoon
about five o'clock and that she had
told her husband of the trouble. It
was declared that Mrs. DeBold had
not heard of the sensational assault
on the pitcher until she was told of
it by the police officers.
Seek DeBold in Chicago.
The police returned to the DeBold
home just after one o'clock this morn
ing in another effort to find DeBoId
and then they got into touch with the
detective bureau in Chicago. 1t is
thought possible that DeBold caught
one of the late electric trains out Of
Kenosha. The police were badly han
dicapped in their search for the man
on account of the fact that no report
was made Of the case until nearly an
hour after the stabbing had taken
place.
This morning some Of the men who
had been about the saloon where the
assault took place, were found, but
they insisted that the ARRAY had taken
place outside the building and that they
had been entirely ignorant as to what
had happened or the cause of it.
Planned Business for Wife.
It is declared that Vaughn had
planned to move his family to Chicago
on account of the fact that he wanted
to have his wife go into the delicates-
sen business. To this end a store had
been rented in Chicago and the truck
had been sent to Kenosha to get the
personal belongings of the Vaughn
family. When the quarrel arose with
members of the family Vaughn paid
the truck driver fifty dollars and told
him to go back to Chicago without the
goods.
The assault on Vaughn caused wild
excitement among the leaders of the
baseball fraternity in Chicago. Sew
eral messages were received at the
hospital asking anxiously about tho
condition Of the great pitcher and
men prominent in the baseball world
came to Kenosha this afternoon to sec
Vaughn. They were treasured when
they found Vaughn in very corr
Portable condition and ready and abb.
to talk with them.
