Jerry Gets Smashed.

Jerry KfffSrier, has been on a drunk for a day or two, and becoming abusive yesterday morning around Goff’s restaurant, where he is employed, he got into trouble.. He began cursing George Robinson, the clerk in the restaurant, and Anally drew a knife on him. Robinson then struck Jerry above the eye, cutting him so that he bled freely. Jerry went down the street swearing vengeance, and shortly returned, but went into the wash room without making any demonstration. Sheriff Hardy followed him up and took the knife away from Jerry, which he was trying to conceal.
