chine, which was recently brought

AN ITALIAN STABBED.
Han, Dripping Blood. Along Mont-
real Streets.
A despatch from Montreal says:
► An Italian, who will likely die,
ushed madly along Craig street on
Vednesday night through a. crowd
of Christmas shoppers, with blood
streaming in the snow from a deep
gash in his throat. He had been
gashed with a razor by an unknown
assailant. The blood left a crim-
son trail on the sidewalk, and the
injured man collapsed within sight
of his home. Robbery or revenge
is thought to have been the motive.
The Italian was taken to the Gener-
r al Hospital, and is thought to be
fatally injured.
