Yesterday "Scot ty" lay in a precarious condition. hardly conscious of his surround- His assailant was James O'Malley, a man who has been in the city about month. It seems the men had some words Sunday evening and one or more blows lollowed the words. 'Scotty" fell, and since then he has been tenderly cared for by Dennis J. Cummins, around whose places the njured man has frequently worked. Yesterday Dr. Fulton, whose services had been retained, said that apparent ly "Scotty's" skull may not have been fractured, as his breathing and eyes id not indicate an injury . of that pecilic nature. At all events the wounded man appeared to be in pretty bad shape and fears were ex pressed over his condition. O'Malley, who struck "Scotty," was later arrested by Police Officer Houghten and in police court yester day afternoon was charged with va grancy.

Janssen rushed in on one of the dark skinned foreigners and was "promptly laid on his back. He had met a Tar tar in the apparently inoffensive for eigner from the land of dreams and strange things. Again Janssen, who is a powerful and active man, with the brawn that life on the river gives, rushed in, and again he was laid on his back after a fierce struggle that lasted only for a moment. Some said the Hindu threw him by tripping, So far the sto'ry is clear. The rest of it happened so quickly and vicious ly that the accounts differ. For the third time Janssen clinched his an tagonish and this time he secured a "strangle hold" on the Hindu's neck He began to slowly crush and choke the life out of him. The other Hindus then jumped in' to the aid of their companion and pulled Janssen off Janssen darted into'onc of the near by "cribs" and came out with a knife shining in his hand, and like a flash he jumped into the pack of men be fore him. Up and down and right and left slashed the blade and every time it reached home somewhere on a brown skin. Une man had the end of a finger almost slashed off. Another was cut about the head and face half a dozen times. Besides several minor cuts another received a long, vicious cut along the jaw, which, had it struck a few inches lower, might have severed the juglar. A great crowd collected m a trice and Janssen retreated with his bloody knife into a neighboring place, where he was later found by the police officer. Three of the Hindus, after all of them had wandered about in their bloody condition through the unsym pathetic crowd for a time, were di rected to the office of Dr. Estes, where the physician worked for a couple of hours in sewing up their wounds. The Hindu with the bad cut along his jaw was sent to bis home; SOME FINE SAMPLES OF MACHINERY ASTORIA CLAY PRODUCT COM- PANY GETS ITS BIG MACHIN ERY ON THE GROUND AND WILL SOON SET IT UP.

By a clever arrangment between Mr. Ogan and the A. & C. people and the management of the Hammond mills, the railway company was en auled to discharge their cars of the bulky freight at the Tongue, and on the first day thereafter, that would permit the work to be done without interfering with the yard work of the mills people, Manager Ogan was al lowed to do the task that awaited him and he summoned his forces and the necessary drays and set about it with his usual vigor and precision.
