TWO INFIRMARY INMATES FIGHT Aged Resident of Bluffton Poor Farm Attacked by Another Inmate Bluffton, Ind., March 2. — Stubbed five times during an altercation with a fellow inmate at the Wells county infirmary at 6 o’clock yesterday morning, Robert Dick 74, is in a critical condition at the county hospital here, while his assailant, John Mahoney, 76, is a prisoner in the county jail. Mahoney claims lie acted in selfdefense and in this contention he appears to be supported by other inmates who witnessed the cutting ’ affray, and by infirmary officials. Dick was wounded iff three places in his abdomen, once in the left shoulder. One gash over the abdo- ’ men exposed the intentines, but did not pierce them. Dick lost consider- ' able blood, but his physician says the chief danger is from infection, with the added fact of weakness, due 1 to his advanced years. According to Malioney and other - witnesses, Dick Malioney and other cause* Mahoney left a door open be- - tween the living room and a lavatory. He is said to have attacked Mahoney anil pushed him down. Ma honey declares it was then that he Gdrew his knife and slashed at Dick while the latter pummeled him. «I Other inmates separated them. This is the second serious affair in which Dick has been implicated. On July 2<i, 1919, he and a nephew. I. John Grim, had an altercation at i Tocsin. Dink attacked Grim and a I few minutes later Grim fell dead of ; a heart) attack, which the doctors said was superinduced by over-ex-ertion in the affair The latter was arrested and tried on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. A jury acquitted him. » . —« A POOR INVESTMENT Hoosiers Who Sent Money to Russian Bank Have No Returns South Bend, Ind., Mar. 2. —Hoosiers who have sent • money to the state bank at Moscow, Russia, with a view of speculating in roubles at several million to to dollar, stand to lose the entire amounts remitted.

Central has bagged several straights. I p until 1923, Central has won its district meets —it always does—and went to the state tourney without any great sensation. Maybe they won their first game at the state and maybe Sandusky knocked them off. But Central will bear watching this year as a contender for the state basketball title, experts say. Central's squad is built around two three-ycar veterans of basketball. Captain Billy Allen and Gil Flentkc have been on the team since Freshmen and are mean twins to play against. The rest of the youngsters are fast and plucky. The team was late in getting started after football, but once underway they were ready to light for the state title. o RAILROAD ATHLETICS Annual Athletic Carnival Os Pennsylvania R. R.
