A. Prince of this city, and the latter is today confined to his home as a consequence. Harold Prince, son of the attorney, was also assaulted by Tom Dwyer, a bartender for Shank, but when he saw that his father and himself were in a gang of about eight men with apparently no one to come to their assistance he feigned unconsciousness and was pos sibly spared a more severe beating. The elder Prince was rendered un conscious by a blow from Shank on the back of the head while the at torney was passing the saloon, after applying a vile epithet and grabbing Prince by the arm. Prince was an assistant in the prosecution for Polk county at the time of Shank's con viction on the charge of arson, and it is said that Shank has made many threats against the attorney ever since.
