A Cutting Affair
Yesterday morning, between 1 and 2 a.m.
Jo Baker stabbed and fatally wounded Franz
Gustav Valdemor Bruno, a German boy who
had been employed in the Exchange on the
night watch. Bruno had closed the house, gone
( 13 )
to the O. K. and taken supper, and as he left
the restaurant met Baker in the middle of the
street. He asked Baker for some money which
he had loaned him, and a row was the result.
Bruno was getting away with Baker, when the
latter drew a knife, and stabbed his adversary
several times. Bruno was then taken to the
hospital and his wounds dressed. He is in a
very dangerous condition. His recovery is im-
probable. Jo Baker has resided in this section
for many years dividing his time between
gambling and punching cattle. He has been in
the employ of Head & Hearst a large portion
of the time. As soon as the trouble was over,
Jo skipped out, and has not yet been caught.
