Struck With a Billy.

DETROIT, March 28.-- The Emergency hospital ambulance was called to the corner of Thirteenth and Howard streets Tuesday night to get a man giving his name as William Hughes and his residence as 181 Thirteenth street. Hughes was standing on the corner waiting for two friends, when a man walked up behind him and dealt him a blow on the head with a billy. Before he could follow up the blow, Hughes' friends ran to his assistance, but his assailant made his escape. It was found that Hughes had a scalp wound about four inches long and he was taken to Emergency hospital, where his injuries were attended to.
