Harris of Company A, Tenth In- fantry, and Richard Roper of Company B. Twenty-eighth Infantry, and a woman, Nita Pintus, approached him. The woman took oft the physician's silk hat and placed it upon her head. He remonstrated with her, and the soldiers, who had been drinking, struck him from each side on the face, cutting a long, deep gash on his forehead and knocking him down. He was rendered unconscious. A young man named N. Schubner saw | the assault and ran to the City Hall sta- tion, where he notified the police. Officer J. T. Brazel was sent with the patrol Wagon to arrest the soldiers and he had to chase them several blocks before he overtook and captured them. They were booked on a charge of battery, and the woman. who was found with the doctor's hat still on her head, was arrested for drunkenness. . Scnubner took Dr. Evans to the Recelv- ing Hospital, where Dr. Charles Millar attended to his wounds. He remained in the hospital for a few hours and was then taken to his home. The soldiers appeared in Judge Mogan' | | { | | | | | showed the effects of a debauch.
