He was going in to look for a man when a well known Ann st. young man asked him for 10 cents. He refused to give the money saying he had none. One fellow drew a knife and another struck him in the face while a third tried to hols him. joe tore himself away. Under Sheriff Gillen and Officer Isabell came up just after the blow was struck.
