HITS OPPONENT WITH HAMMER

Tone Kanne and Henry Vance engaged in a liyely fistic encounter on Van Rensselaer street Monday evening that resulted in Kanne being hit on the head with a hammer, which inflicted an ugly wound and required the attention of a physician.' Vance seem? to have owed Kanne some money and they disagreed as to the exact sum, Vance asserting that it was less than Kanne said. The clash followed and Kanne was apparently mussing his opponent up considerably when Vance used the hammer with telling effect. Kanne claims Vance called him an offensive name and struck hirp; before he retaliated. There were few witnesses to the fight and no arrests have been made.
