Stabbed at Sweetheart’s Side.

Warren Hayes was stabbed and seriously wounded by a jealous rival in St. Louis while he was talking to Miss Birdie Russell in the doorway of her home. Miss Russell refuses to give the name of Hayes’ assailant and to all questions asked as to his identity she says "love has sealed her lips.” The knife blade penetrated the fleshy part of his arm, but no arteries were severed.
