ERIE MBOIOAL CO., BUFFALO, N.Y, MFNJ John Knelrlm, a blacksmith, living of Paul street, Petersburg, was stabbed nnd terribly Injured, Saturday night at 10 o'clock by William Bowman, of the- same street, who Is now In the coimtv jail. Bowman committed the deed whllo Intoxicated. The motive, for his ac tion Is unknown, ns he and Knelrlm have always been good friends and have never quarrelled so far ns Is known. Yesterday when Knelrlm was seen by a Tribune man, ho was at a loss for nny reason for the stabbing, but said that Bowman had been drinking heavily and that was probably tho cause of his action. The wounds In flicted nre eight In number, nnd nre principally on the body and arms. Only two of thctn are serious, one being a cut In tho jugular vein, and the other in the left lung. Dr. A. If. Bernstein Is attending the Injured man, and was pleased yester day with the progress the latter made, ns he bad passed a very good day. Opiates, however, hud to be given to ease his pain, and It Is very doubt ful whether he will recover from hl3 Injuries. The fracas occurred near Joseph Hans' saloon, at tho corner of Ash and Cross streets. Knelrlm and a friend, John Christ, had left the place, nnd near the corner met a crowd of the men living In the neighborhood. Bow man was one of them, and had with him his dog. Knelrlm made some remark about the animal, and on Bowman'st answering roughly, a slight altercation took place. Bowman then challenged Knelrlm to fight, and in a moment they were en gaged In a wrestling match. One of the bystanders saw a knife flashing In Bowman's hand, and the fight was immediately brought to n stop, but not until Knelrlm had been stabbed again and again. In the excitement that ensued Bow man left the place and quietly walked home while Knelrlm was carried .to his residence nearby. Dr. Bernstein was called and stanched the blood which was flowing freely from Knelrlm's body. Patrolmen Frod Kailus nnd Louis Goerlltz, who live In the vicinity were notified of tho affair, und going to Bowman's house, arrested him und took him to police headquarters In tho city hall. He was yesterday morning sent tn the county jail. Bowman Is a man of about forty years, and a carpenter by trade. He hus a wife and five chil dren and his action Is a source of mys tery to everyone. Knelrlm is a man nearly sixty years of age and married. He has known Bowmnn since the latter was n boy. Bowman, when Interviewed at the Jail yesterday, confirmed Knelrlm's story as to there having been no pre vious Ill-feeling between them. Ho gave, however, a different version of tho affair and says that ho stubbed Knelrlm while In n very drunken con dition and not knowing what ho did. According tn him, nbout ,ten minutes before tho stabbing, Knelrlm came out of Hans' saloon and without any warning sprang upon him and throw him tn the ground. Knelrlm la n Urge, heavy man and Bowman, who, though of medium height, Is slightly built, did not offer much resistance. Ho consid ered the affair as a mere pleasantry on tho part of Knelrlm, whom he says wns intoxlcatod. Ho himself was also drunk nnd did not see any more of Knelrlm until about 10 o'clock when, he says, the latter appeared nnd repeated his per formance by Jumping on him tignln. This time tho two wrestled awhile and Bowman sax he knew nothing further until his knife was snatched out of his hand. He claims that In his drunkenness he struck without knowing whut ha Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Thompson, Jan. 7. County Auditor L. M.
