Insults Woman; Gets
Blow on Eye
Huxbnnd PnnUben Man who Jostles
and Speaks Rudely to Wife on
Crowded Street.
THB street? were crowded iesterddy
with Christmas shoppers, and at the
coiner of Fourth and Washington, about
2:30, there as a Jam of people going
along both thoroughfares.
Elbowing his way up Washington street,
a man with a bloodstained handkerchief
pressed to his eye made his way through
tho crowd. The shoppers turned to
glance at him. their smiles of holiday ex
pectations suddenly changed to sympa
thizing concern. The man, with distress
plainly depicted on his countenance, pur
cued his way to the doctor's office he
sought.
He was plainly dressed, was burly of
fnrm, but had not the appearance of a
rough character.
At the corner other men stopped to talk
with a small man. who was agitated and
who was explaining to the gathering
throne that ho had done what any man
with a particle of manhood would have
done under similar circumstances.
"Why," said he, "that loafer' Insulted
my wife while I was momentarily absent.
He passed in front of her and Jostled
her, and when she asked his pardon for
being In his way, he turned and said: 'It's
a 7- strange thing you can't keep
out of the way.' '
"I came to her side at that moment
and she pointed out the man who had ad
dressed the vile language to her, so I
'soaked' him."
The crowd of men applauded the plucky
little chap, and just then the patrol
wagon dashed up. Just how .t happened
to come, was a secret, for there was no
policeman In the crowd; and, after mak
ing Inquiry 'as to the cause of the dis
turbance, and finding no one able or will
ing to tell him why the wagon had been
summoned, the driver turned his team
and trotted off back to the station.
The man with the bloody head went on
up Washington street and the little man
and his wife continued their shopping.
