Fight with Knives Over Girl.

Lewis Parrish and Henry Lawson, young men of good families, met in a billiard room at Zanesville, 0., and engaged in a quarrel over a young woman. They retired to the rear yard to settle the matter, where Parrish attacked Lawson with a knife, cutting him in the neck, arm and body. It required sixty-seven stitches to close his wounds, and his life is hanging by a thread. During the fight Parrish slipped and fell upon his own knife, severing an artery in his wrist. He is being held without bail to await the results of the wounds inflicted on Lawson.
