tee, that arrangements had been
made to extend the repayment OF the

One Badly Stabbd, Second
Shot 4 Times in Dispute
at Port Reading

AS the result of a dispute last night
Vincent Correntino and Harry SchI-
avo, both of Irwin street, Port Read
ing. are in the City Hospital suffer-
ing from serious injuries. Corren-
tine has severe decorations on the left
side of his face, believed to have been
inflicted with a razor, while Schiavo
has four bullet wounds.
The dispute is said to have started
last night about 1880 o'clock over the
purchase of a house. The building
was sold to Schiavo by Correntino
and an argument as to payments still
due on the structure caused the dis
agreement. Schiavo. it is believed,
pulled a razor and cut Correntino,
who retaliated by drawing a revolver
and firing five shots at his opponent,
four of which took effect.
Both men were admitted to the
city hospital last night. Eighteen
stitches were necessary in sewing up
the cuts in Correntino's face. Schi-
avo's dbndition was critical last night
but is reported to be improved this
morning and his recovery is antici-
pated.
