The alleged outcome was that tho other man drew a pocket knife and thrico stabbed Sandow—in tho neck, near the car, and on tho nose. I'ho quarrel ended abruptly, and Bandow's plight was eoon noticed by some men, who took him to Messrs. :F. and G Castlo's pharmacy, near by, whore first aid was given. Iho police were 6ont for, and Dr. Henry was summoned. An hour later Sandow was transferred to tho hospital. ; Up till a lato hoiir last night there was considerable uncertainty as to who inflicted tho wound. The man seems to liavo disappeared very shortly after the occurrence, and no one, so far as was known, had been arrested or charged with tho deed.
