Knife Handler Makes diet Awny and
Escapes Officials' Grl.
When Greek meets Greek then blooi
Is spilled. Local Specimens of th.
ancient race are having heaps of
trouble.
Following a tong war that has
lasted several weeks, another mani
festation of inter-colony hatered crop
ped out lst night and one man was
seriously stabbed, and the knife
yklder has disappeared. The fellow
is not critically hurt but was gashed
and slashed on th? nrms considerably
in his efforts to ward off the blowb
aimed at his heart with his forearm.
The scene was enacted in the
Greek quarters. The fellow caught a
train out of town before he could
be apprehended and it is safe to pre
sume that he will not return. The po
lice officers are going to put an end
to the trouble If possible as they fear
that fatalities will ensue.

such horses as Ken West, one of the
fastest that the Northwest ever pro

the animal and declares it one of the
finest he has ridden behind. Coming

one horse alone for he admits Union
