Stabbed by a Tourist
Charles SCHUSTER, a printer who has been employed on tri-city papers until
recently, now languishes in the Rockford jail as the result of a murderous
assault upon Dick HUGHES, a gas fitter of that city. While overloaded with
barleycorn, the two became involved in a quarrel and waiving the free use of
their fists went at each other hammer and tongs. The typo claims that the
gas fitter landed on his face with a beer bottle and he retaliated by
stabbing his adversary below the shoulder blade. The knife blade penetrated
about four inches and inflicted an ugly wound. SCHUSTER started to run away,
but, seeing an officer close at hand, changed his mind and quietly submitted
to arrest. Four stitches repaired the damage to HUGHES' anatomy but the call
was a close one as the attending physician informed him that his eartly
career would have been closed had the cut been half an inch lower. As it is,
HUGHES is rapidly recovering and the typo is playing solitaire in the
bastile.
