In moving a trunk Tuesday morning
a baggageman for the Elkhorn at Fro-
nont noticed a liquid running out from
beneath the cover. The smell of it re
vealed the fact that it was pure Ken-
noky rye. The trunk was opened and
ixhalf gallon jugs of the liquor were
ouud loosely arrangoa , so mat one 01
hem had broken open and another had
cracked. The owner was a Hebrew
who had expected to save freight charges
by shipping the whisky as baggage.
The liquor which was spilled was worth
$2.00.

where It was caught by J. C. Adams , who
gave it to JJr. Mackay. Tlio doctor now
has a pair , male and female , in the
window of his office , the other one
having wandered in there early in the

Columbus Journal : David Thomas
of Postville , this county , whom wo
mentioned last week as just returning
from his trip to Wales , gave us many
interesting items. Mr. Thomas had
nearly decided that he could not return
to America this winter on account of
not being able to secure a berth in a
steamer. He waited several weeks before -
fore ho got passage and says many were
turned away. On the Gampaigna there
were 1,500 passengers besides the crow
of 485. If the ship had not run into a
fog , which delayed them two days , the
trip would have been made in five days.
Mr. Thomas was in Liverpool when
news of the peace terms with South
Africa was received. Ho had the ex
perience of witnessing the great jubilee
demonstrations , and says the people
fairly went wild. Mr. Thomas says
that the climate in Wales is delightful ,
that this summer has been quite cool ,
so cool in fact that ho has worn his
overcoat a good part of the time. Mr.
Thomas has lived in America thirty
years and thia is his third trip to his
old homo. ' _ _

George Hodges the Victim of a
Murderous Assault.
LEFT BY THE ROADSIDE TO DIE.
A Colored Man Slashed with a Razor
In the Hands of a Whlto Cornpnn-
Ion Assistance Canio in Time to
Save His Life.
George Hodges , n colored man about
(1 ( years of ago , lies at the homo of Jane
ohusou , iu South Norfolk , with his
uroat cut nearly from oar to ear. Ho
was slashed with a razor about 11 o'clock
XBt night , by one or two men who wore
vith him. It is without doubt a cane
f attempted murder and robbery , and
hat the man is alive is owing to his
omarkablo physique rather than to the
ntoutiou of his assailants.
Ho was found at 1 o'clock this morn-
ncr Imlf a block east and a block north
f the Main street bridge by Policeman
Coch aud a hack driver named Hilly
lahu. Hahn had driven his'hack past
ho place whore the man was found ,
nd his attention was attracted to the
prostrate form by his team shying Ho
mrricd up town and reported to Police-
uati Koch that a man was by the side
f the road either dead , injured or very
Iruuk. The two returned to the place
aud the policeman attempted to arouse
man. Ho BOO mod to bo only par-
ially conscious , and the officer natu-
ally thought ho was very much iutoxi-
atod. After takiuir him by the shoul
der the colored man aroused enough to
point to his throat. The moon was still
uudor the oolipso and the police lighted
a match to see what the trouble was.
Thou ho discovered a huge gash across
he man's throat from which blood was
lowing frooly. An examination of the
urronudings disclosed that the man's
clothing was saturated with blood aud
hat he was lying in a puddle of the
ame life substance. No weapon could
be found in the vicinity , with which the
wound could have boon made , thus ( lo
ng away with the idea of suicide and
ettling the fact that someone had at-
empted to murder the man by cutting
lis throat.
The injured man was placed in the
hack and brought to the oillco of Dr.
Vlunsou. Dr. Mackay was called and
; ho two physicians worked over him
until 5 o'clock this morning. They
found a gash five iuohes across his
throat , cut clean aud sharp , indicating
that it had been done with a powerful
blow and probably with a razor. The
windpipe was cut almost in two , all the
largo blood vessels were laid bare and
several of their branches had been cut ,
aud the nerve that supplies the vocal
cords had boon severed , producing pa
ralysis of speech. The wound was
filled with earth with whicn tlio man had
come in contact during his writhiugs
on the ground. One of the doctors
stated that it was the worst looking
wound ho had ever seen in all his ex
perience. The man's face were a coat
ing of clotted blood aud his coat , vest
and shirt were saturated with mud
formed by his own blood mixing with
the earth , in which ho had been lying
for two hours.
The doctors found it difficult to do
anything for him. His windpipe was
nearly severed and so clotted that it
was impossible to administer choloro-
form in the usual way , and it was
found necessary to give it through the
hole in the throat. When ho was
under the influence of the anesthetic ,
the doctors inserted a silver tnbo in the
windpipe , closed the blood vessels aud
finally placed 15 stitches in the wouud
across the throat. The man was weak
and delirious from loss of blood when
brought to thorn , and they gave a sa
line injection into the viens to supply
for j the loss of blood. This revived him
and he was able to toll something of
himself. 1
When the doctors had finished work
ing j with him , ho was taken to the city
jail where ho was made as comfortable
as possible on a cot placed in the corri
dor. At that hour in the morning an
other place could not be found for him ,
but 1 about 10 o'clock ho was removed to
the ( homo of Jane Johnson in South
Norfolk ] , whore ho is being cared for.
The doctors think his chances for re
covery are favorable.
Hodges is to all appearances an intel
ligent 1 , hard working colored man. The
clothing ( ho wore was substantial and in
good f condition , such as any honest
working man might wear. The
answers i to questions were given with a
thorough I understanding , although it
had to bo done by making motions with
his ] hands or writing. His penmanship
is i good considering the circumstances
under which ho is laboring.
Ho was unable to speak , but by mak
ing signs and writing it was learned
that his name is George Hodges and
that ho has boon at work shoveling coal
at the Elkhorn round house for the past
mouth. Night before last he quit work
and yesterday ho and his partner , whoso
name ho gives as Max Spahr , a white
man , were paid off , Hodges receiving
$23.00 and Spar if 13.00. Last night they
cauio up town with a fireman named J.
A. Baird , and together they drank a
considerable during the early part of the
evening. About 11 o'clock they decided
to visit the roHortH UITORH the river and
started out with Unit purpose.
The Ntory hodirod from the colored
man , IH tlmt hu hud about iJ'JO.OO in hlH-
liocketH at this tlmu , aud that when thn
trio reached an isolated pliico Ills
two companions pounced upon him ,
cut his throat and rohhi'd ' him of liln
inoniy. llln Matomont IH that S ] > ahr
struck him and that when hu attempted
to defend hliuKulf Spuhr Hlashcd him
with the razor , while Hulrd reached
into bin innldo pocket aud took the
pockotbook.
Warrants were issued thin morning
for the arrest of Max Spahr and J. A.
Baird. The latter was found working
on hlu engine in the sugar factory yards.
When questioned ho admitted that ho
was out with the colored man and his
partner last night. He said that both
were strangers to him and hu simply
wont with them because of lack of
other company. Ho was with them
when they commenced to quurrul and
when they clinched ho ran , as ho did
not want to beoomo mixed up with their
troubles. Hu denies absolutely that ho
had any hand in the robbery and eluiniH
ho did not know that the colored man
had his throat out until this morning.
Ho sayH Spo.hr had a razor last night , UN
ho hoard him trying to soil it to Hodges
ourly in the evening.
The foot that Baird wont to work at
the usual ( line this morning on his on-
ginu , looks rather favorable to the truth
of his story. However , ho is being held
pending an investigation. Ho has been
working on the Elkhorn Hinco the first
of the month , coming from the B. & M.
His homo is at Hastings. Ho tele
graphed his father this morning of his
trouble.
Spahr in the meantime could not bo
found this morning and IIUH not since
been located , although Marshal Kane
and his force are hunting him. The de
scription of him is rather lack
ing. Ho is said to bo a young
man 21 or 22 years old , smooth
shaven and wearing a black shirt.
Neither of his companions could tell
what kind of a suit ho had on nor do
they remember his hat.
