In a drunken brawl at Valler last night George Marjot, an Italian llv- Itig at that place, was stabbed, in such a manner as will likely cause his death. The foreigner who committed the deed, Mike Zubick, is now In the local jail- Zublick and Marjot, with several of their friends, had been drinking rather heavily and differed on some point or other, the difference being so great that a, free-for-all fight started and In the mixup Zubick drew a knife and stabbed Marjot in the back, the blade penetrating to the hilt and entering the kidneys. A call was sent to the barracks at eleven o'clock and Sergeant Ward, together with five privates were dispatched immediately to the scene of the affray. Tlie squad arrived at Valler about 11:30 o'clock and spent some time in hunting for their man.
