n dlHt'hurgcd barber , formerly In the
utnploy of John Koerber. made u sick-
c'lilng sight of himself IIH bo walked
from Seeeind stree-t to Feiurth Hticct

John Clark , a brakeman In the employ -
ploy of i ho NorthwoHtorn road , claimIng -
Ing Itoone , la. , an bin homo , wan ar-
roHtod charged with Inflicting tin1
wound on Roberts' face. Clark wan
drunk and llttlo Infonnutloii could bo
obtained from him.
Whether or not Clark had a knife In
bin band when ho Htruek ItobortH IB a
( moBtlon yet to bo determined by the
police , who bollovo Roberts received
bin InjurloH by falling against the
glass window of the John King cream
ery station at 211 Norfolk avonuo.
"I hit someone , but I don't know If
It's this man or not , " said Clark , point
ing to UobortH , who occupied a room
In the city jail with the Injured man.
"Tho fellow I hit had a knlfo and
was going to hit mo with It. 1 was
not going to get cut so I hit him. "
Roberts Afraid of Clark.
Roberts scorned much afraid of
Clark In the jail last night and was
given posucBslon of the 'ladles' ward,1
where ho was looked after by both Dr.
O'Nell , who sewed up the wound , and
City Physician Tashjcan , who consult
ed with Dr. O'Neill.
"I was fetruck with a knife , " was the
statement Roberts persisted in mak
ing to the physician , and those who
allied the physician In his work.
An examination of the broken glass
that remains In the window at the
King creamery shows some blood
stains and there no doubt that Rob'
erts' wound was caused by his head
striking against this glass.
Roberts for n few seconds leaned
with his face against the broken glass
and It looked as If he hung there sup
ported by the Jagged ends of the glass ,
He soon fell unconscious to the
ground , bleeding terribly from the
largo wound. A few moments late :
he walked away from the spot and ,
returning , picked up his hat and walk'
ed west on Norfolk avenue , passing
. women and children who shrank at
the sight. On Norfolk avenue and
Fourth street Roberts was directed tc
Chief Marquardt who immediately
placed him under arrest. The chlel
then went In search of a physician and
Dr. O'Noil , arriving on the scene hail
the man taken to his office where the
physician took about ten stitches in
the gaping wound. Dr. O'Nell hat
much trouble with Roberts , who per
sistcd In sitting up on the operating
table and rubbing out the stitches
which the physician endeavored tc
make.
After the physician had finished hi :
work , Chief Marquardtralsed tin
usual cry for the much needed hospl
tal. Nobody cared to take Roberts In
Man Might Yet Die.
During the early evening he was at
tacked by a severe chill caused fron
the shock and loss of blood and alsc
from the cold of the jail. As a last re
sort he was moved to the women1 !
ward , a private room in the jail , ai
bad as that of the other parts of thli
place. Dr. O'Neill remained with th <
man for some time and there were re
ports for a time that the man was
dying.
Roberts has been drinking heavllj
for the past week and only a few dayi
ago he sold his barber tools in thli
city and spent the money for drink
In his pocket the Injured man had i
letter from his mother , Mrs. A. B
Teepohl , Lakeview , la. , who writes hei
son to be good and to believe In God
"Satan , " she says , "lurks in al
places , " and she begs her son to hi
good.
"My mother lives in Lakeview , la.
said Roberts. My stepfather is tin
sheriff there. "
Roberts' face will be disfigured fo :
life.
Notwithstanding the fact that Dr
O'Neill says there Is still danger o
Roberts dying from the effects o
blood poison which may yet set in tin
wound , Mayor Friday ordered Chief o
Police Marquardt to turn Clark loose
Clark Is the man who admitted strik
ing Roberts. It Is said Clark's rela
tives here secured him employmen
on a farm.

lieve any team can win n game on the

euro enough fast players , they decided

Shndo Treeo Are Suffering.
Shade trees In Norfolk are suffering
badly for the want of moisture. Sat
urday night's rain has not rollovcd the
.situation and those interested in the
preservation of the shade tree find the
soil six feet eleiwn very dry. The re
cent rain will not help the shade trees
and those who are fond of tholr trees
will do well to put on the water im
mediately , thus assuring themselves of
live shade trees next spring , when it
Is predicted the trees not receiving
the required amount of moisture now ,
will die Immediately after they have
budded out. It is the "winter kill , "
says one Norfolk man Interested In
shade trees , that the trees will die
from.
The trees In this vicinity for sev
eral months past have been suffering.
The leaves have been falling off and
In many cases the leaves on the trees
have been curling up , n sign which in
dicates that the tree is suffering foi
want of water. At the state hospital
these signs have become very notice
able and those In charge of Prospect
Hill and other cemeteries have ordered
the gardeners to glvo their entire at
tention to the trees.
"It takes a life time , " says L. Ses
sions , ono of those interested in the.
tree preservation , "to grow a shade
tree , while It takes but ono or two sea
sons to grow a good lawn. The grass
will dry up but after a rain it usually
comes up. The shade tree must be
taken care of. I am putting in much
of my time watering my trees at my
home. It would bo well to call the at
tention of the public to the fact that
elm , apple and other trees are already
suffering. It takes llttlo time each
evening to water these trees. "
