A stabbing affray that came near result- ing badly for Willis King, a well-known cow- boy, occurred here on the glorious day we cele- brated. King and a party of friends were en- joying themselves in the Board of Trade when a man named Charles Tate undertook to ring in on the crowd. A racket started in which Tate pulled his knife and cut King in the right side. Tate was arrested.
